From: "Edu Jon" <adtgen@msn.com>

Subject: Relocation and Partnership
Dear Friend,
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. We want to transfer to overseas
($85,000.000.00 USD)Eighty five 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. I am trusting in you and believing in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am MR. Edu Jon , I am an Auditor 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. Antonio Diaz Leon, a foreigner and he died, since 2001.
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. Antonio Diaz
Leon until his death was the manager Allied Group of
Companies.
We will start the first transfer with Fifty two million
[$52,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment
of the remaining rest amount to your account. In February
25th 1999, I trusted a foreigner with a similar task but he
ran away with the whole amount of money when it got into his
account. 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.Antonio Diaz Leon is a foreigner too, [and the money can
only be approved into a foreign a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together . Send also your private telephone and fax number
including the full details of the account to be used for the
deposit. 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. Or you will appoint an Attorney
here who will represent you if you are not able to come to
Africa. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal,
sharing and investments. I need your full co-operation to
make this work fine. Because the aragement 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
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 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 atleast 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. I look forward
to your earliest reply through my email address. We have
concluded to allow you tell us how much percentage (%) you
think that will be enough for you in helping us conclude
this transaction. You are free to tell me your mind your
mind or you can ask me any question that you feel.
Yours Truly,
EDU JON
