Subject: GET BACK TO ME...
(RE:TRANSFER OF ($126,000.000.00 USD}
{ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)
Dear,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 126,000.000.00 USD)One hundred and 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 of this
important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
I am Dr.Emmanuel Macandela,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 1995 and since 1998 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.Ahmed Tariq, a foreigner, and a
sailor, and he died, since 1998. 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 Mr.Ahmed Tariq until his death
was the manager Attariq Coy.(pty). SA. We will start the first transfer with
Twenty six million[$26,000.000] 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 total amount involved is (USD 126M) One hundred and Twenty Six million
United States Dollars, only I want to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty 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(united state dollars) and the former
owner of the a/c Mr.Ahmed Tariq is a foreigner too, [and the money can only
be approved into a foreigner a/c.
However,we will sign a binding agreement,to bind us together I got your
contact address from my secretary who operates computer, I am revealing this
to you with believe in God 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,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,celebration and possible
investments as you may advice.
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 also need your strong assurance that you will never,never let me down.
With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable account which
you will 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 I hear from you that you are ready to
act and receive 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.
So the most important thing to do now,is for you to send your private
telephone and fax number including the full details of the account to be
used for the deposit. You should try to arrange the A/C Information as
follows,
BANK NAME :
BANK ADDRESS :
BANK A/C NO :
A/C HOLDER :
SWIFT CODE :
PRIVATE TELEPHONE NO :
As the need may arise either to call you in the day or night as ocassion
warrants. N.B:{NOTICE BOARD} Any a/c can serve to receive this money,be it a
newly opened a/c or the one you have before {existing}can serve to receive
this fund,provided that the A/C is valid and can carry up-to the said
amount,but more prefarabally,the newly opened A/C.
You should also note that,At the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me,while 5% will be for
expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of
transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Dr.Emmanuel Macandela.
