Road Lake,5743.

South Africa.
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I know that This letter might surprise you because,we have
not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I
believe it is one day that you get know somebody either in
physical or through correspondence.
How ever My name is Mr. Geoff Zulauf, I want to transfer
($125,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred & Twenty five million
United States Dollars from a Prime Bank here in South Africa
to an oversea account. First, I must solicit your strictest
confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of it's
nature as being utterly confidential.
I am sure and have confidence of your ability and
reliability to prosecute a transaction of this great
magnitude. I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer
the said amount into your safe account for unward
investment.
You can either provide us with an existing account or to set
up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money,
even anempty a/c can serve to receive this money, as long
asyou will remain honest to me till the end of this
important business trusting in you and believing that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am the personal account officer to the great late
INDUSTRIALIST who has an account in one of the top banks
here in South Africa. The account was opened in 1998 and he
died in 2003 without a written or oral WILL and since 2003
nobody has operated on this account again 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 a foreigner and no other person
knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was
the manager of the company.
My investigation through the National immigration department
proved to me as well that he was single as at the time of
his entry into theRepublic of South Africa. The amount in
this account is USD$125Million ( One Hundred & Twenty five
Million United States Dollars ) only.
As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund
abroad for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is
necessary because the management of the bank will welcome
any foreigner who
has correct information to this account which I will give to
you immediately, if you are interested to do this business
with me.There is no risk in this business. With my position
and my personal contact with the manager of the bank, the
money can be transferred to any account you can provide with
assurance that this money will be intact pending our
physical arrival in your country for sharing.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty five million
[$25,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining balance of $100 Million to your
account.
I am only contacting you as aforeigner because this money
can not be approved to a local person here, but can only be
approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of
the account which I will provide for you.
So you should provide me with your correct account detail
where you will like the fund to be transferred or you can
set up a new account for the transfer even an empty account
is ok.
The A/C Details have to be arranged as follows,
BANK NAME:............
BANK ADDRESSE:........
BANK A/ NO:...........
BENEFICIARY NAME:.....
A/C ROUTING NO/SWIFT CODE:.
AND YOUR PRIVTAE TELEPHONE NO:
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will
be for any expenses both parties incurred in the process of
this business and the remaining 60% will be for me.
As soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance
that you will not let me down once the fund goes into your
account I will then start the processing of the transfer of
the fund to your account without further delay.
Contact me urgently via this email address for further
details.

private satllite phone.
