ATT:THE PRESIDENT/CEO
In order to transfer out (USD 6.5 M) six. Five million United States
Dollars) from Absa Bank. I have the courage to ask you to look for a
reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business
believing that you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr .KEN VUYOS the Chief auditor of (ABSA) Bank. There is an account
opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated on this
account again. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently it would
be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Smith B.Andreas,
a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold co, a geologist by profession and he
died since 1990. 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 this company does not know
anything about this account and the amount involved is (USD 6.5 M ) six.
Five million United States Dollars.
I want to transfer the whole of the money into a safe foreigners account in
abroad. But I don't know any foreigner. I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but
can only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in us dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr. Smith
B.Andreas he is a foreigner too.I know that this message will come to you as
a surprise as we don't know ourselves before. We will sign an agreement, but
be sure that it is real and a genuine business.
I only got your contact address from my secretary who operates computer;
with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You
are the only person that I have contacted in this business; so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take immediately. 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 or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that
you can receive this money into a foreign account or
any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to
your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account and foreign beneficiary. 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 later immediately, if you are able and
with capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because this
opportunity will never come again in my life.
I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake
I need your strong assurance and trust. With my position now in the office I
can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you can
provide with assurance that this money will be
intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I will
destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money
leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me face to
face after which I will make this remittance in your presence
and two 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 effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this
money to your account with appropriate clearance forms
of the 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 transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours truly,
MR KEN VUYO
