{URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL)
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 152,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS
Dear sir/madam,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00USD) One
hundred and Fifty two million United StatesDollars) 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 MR Don Mike, 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 oney out urgently it
will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Arthur Coleman , a
foreigner, and an Industrialist, who died since 1993 and 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 Arthur Coleman until
his death was the manager of Coleman Coy.(pty). SA. We will
start the first transfer with fifty two million
[$52,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining amount to your account.The amount
involved is (USD 152M) One hundred and Fifty two million
United States Dollars only. I want to first transfer
$52,000.000 [fifty two million United States Dollars 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 a 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. Arthur Coleman is a foreigner too, [and the
money canonly be approved into a foreign 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 on the next
step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and
fax numbers 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 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 thispayment 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
instructions 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 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 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 actand 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. 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 transfering.
I look forward to your earliest reply to this e-mail box
