Good day,
I got your contact over the Internet as a trustworthy and
reliable person. Please pay attention and understand my
reason of contacting you today through this email .We want
to transfer to overseas ($49,000.000.00USD) Forty Nine
Million United States Dollars) from a Prime 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. Solomon Zulu the Auditor General of prime banks 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 Late Mr. Morris Thompson, a foreigner, an
American who unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash
of Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed on January 31
2000. You may read more about the crash on visiting this
C.N.N News Internet website.
http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/
Since he died 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
Late Mr. Morris Thompson until his death was the executive
manager of Die bold, Incorporated LTD]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with fifty two million
[$9,000.000] upon successful transaction without any
disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment
of the remaining rest amount to your account, 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 (US dollars) and the real owner of the a/c Mr.
Morris Thompson is a foreigner too, [and the money can only
be approved into a foreign a/c
However, 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. 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. 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 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 need your strong
assurance that you will never, never let me down.
With my influence and my position in 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 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.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 20% of
the total amount, 80% will be for me.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my private
e-mail address: outreachfinancier@yahoo.co.uk
