Dear Sir
RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000. 00
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is
100% risk and trouble free to both parties.
My name is Mr Walter Memela I work as the operational
manager in account management section in charge of credit
and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in South
Africa. On a routine inspection I discovered a dormant
domiciliary account with a Balance Of US$48,223,000. 00
(Forty eight million two hundred and twenty three thousand
U.S dollar).On further discreet investigation, I also
discovered that the account holder has died long ago with
his family on a fatal Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary
to the account and no other person knows about this account.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who
is my partner and he is willing to approve the transfer to
any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign bank
account because the former operator of the a/c is a
foreigner and from Australia in particular. I am certainly
sure that he has no writen or oral WILL attached to the
account , no beneficiary and nobody will come again for the
claim of this money. It is only a foreigner who can claim
this money with legal claims to the account holder which I
will provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need
your cooperation in this transaction. The difference in
country of origins is not a hindrance to the success of this
transaction. This money will remain useless in this dormant
account if I did not transfer the fund out to a foreign
account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents
needed in order to claim this money. I only need your
cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account
information for the transfer. All arrangement that will
ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the account which
you are to nominate is already in place.You should also
provide me with your direct phone lines for easy
communication. I wish for utmost confidentiality in handling
this transaction.
At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be
30% of the total transfer sum, 65% for me and my partner
while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties
might incure during the process of the transfer. The fund
will be transferred to your account in two parts. I will
first transfer USD 20 Million to your account. I will fly
over to meet you after the successful transfer for sharing
according to the agreed percentages. I will have the
remaining balance of USD28,223 Million transferred to your
account only after the successful sharing of the first
transfer without any disappointment from your side.
Let me hear from you URGENTLY.
Best Regards,
Mr Walter Memela
