(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 26,000.000.00 USD}
{TWENTY SIX MILLION} DOLLARS)
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 26,000.000.00
USD) Twenty six million United States
Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you to
quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing
bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c immediately
to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest
to me till the end for this important business
trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am Trevor Manuel Jnr, the Auditor General of a
bank in Africa, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on
this account again, after going through some old files
in the records I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [heir] hence the money is
floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently
it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner of this
account is Mr. Frankline Sullivan , a foreigner, and
a sailor, and he died, since 1993. and no other
person knows about this account or any thing
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and my investigation proved to me as well that
Frankline Sullivan until his death was the manager
Sullivan Coy.(pty). GH.
We will start the first transfer with six
million [$6,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account,The amount involved is (USD 26M)Twenty Six million United
States Dollars,
only I want to first transfer $6,000.000 [Six
million United States Dollar from this money into a
safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I
don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as
a foreigner because this money can not be approved to
a local person here, without valid international
foreign passport, but can only be approved to any
foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in US
dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr.
Frankline Sullivan is a foreigner too, [and the money
can only be approved into a foreign a/c.
Arrange your A/c as follows:
1]A/C NUMBER:...............

that you will never let me down in this business, you
are the first and the only person that I am contacting
for this business,so please reply urgently so, that I
will inform you the next step to take urgently.
Send also your private telephone and fax number
including the full details of the account to be used
for the deposit as started.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and
to sign a binding agreement that will bind us
together before transferring the money to any account
of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we
fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.
I need your full co-operation to make this work
fine.because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you, upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,never
let me down,With the influence and the position of the
bank official we can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account which you can provide
with assurance that this money will be intact pending
our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The
bank official will destroy all documents of
transaction immediately we receive this money leaving
no trace to any place and to build confidence, you can
come immediately to discuss with me face to face after
which I will make this remittance in your presence and
three of us will fly to your country at least two days
ahead of the money going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately

this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5%
