ATT:MANAGING DIRECTOR/C.E.O
I am Njabulo Nkosi, an auditor in PRIME BANK South Africa.I got your
contact address through net
work on line,my interest in investing in your country made me to solicit
for your partnership in these regards. You are the only person that I have
contacted in this business with the believe that you will not let me
down.After going through some old files in the records department, I
discovered that there is anaccount opened in this bank in 1982 and since
1992, nobody has operated on this
account. The owner of this account is late Mr. Jerome N. Snaga, a
foreigner and a miner at the Anglo Gold Platinum Mining Companyin Mafikeng,
as a geologist by profession and he died since 1992. Up till now, no other
person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this
company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is
US$ 14.2 Million (fourteen
Million,two hundred thousand United state dollars ) I want to transfer
this money into a safe foreign account abroad before I resign,but I’ve not
gotten a trusted foreigner. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to
any foreign account because the money is in US dollars and the former owner
of the account Mr.
Snaga was a foreigner and because of the need to involve a foreign
account, I need your full
co-peration to make this work smoothly because the management is ready to
approve this payment to whoever that has correct information to this
account. Of which I will give to you later, if you are able to handle such
amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and advice
for our mutual benefits because this opportunity will never come again in my
life.Ineed your strong assurance, trust and reliability With my position now
in the office,
I can transfer this money to any reliable account, which you can provide
with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrivalin
your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money, leaving no trace of any.You can also come
to discuss with me face-to-face then the remittance will be made in the
presence of both of us. Then we will fly to your country at least two
daysahead before money gets into your account.I have the tendency to invest
my own share of the money in your country in expectation to
sound management and good capital returns according to your advice. Be
assured that you stand no risk ofany kind as the fund belongs to us now.
Therefore,after the eventual stage of the transfer of this fund,I am
offering you 35% of the total fund, 60% will befor me while 5% will be set
aside for expenses that might incur during the course of this transaction OR
you can call me to discuss on the percentage if this did not go well with
you. I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this fund,
other business ventures will derive a huge success thereafter. I will use my
position to influence to effect approvals for onward transfer of this money
to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and
foreign exchange department. I am counting on your sense of confidentiality,
as it is my desire to keep this to yourself.Looking forward to your urgent
response.
Best regards,
Mr.Njabulo Nkosi.
