six million United States Dollars) from Co-operative Bank

either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank

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.Samuel Moyo, the Auditor General of Co-operative
Bank Of 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.Keith Lathan
Coulter,a foreigner and an industrialist,and he died,since
1993 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.Keith Lathan Coulter until
his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty].SA.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty six
million[$26,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side,we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your
account,The amount involved is (USD 26M) Twenty six
million United States Dollars, only I want to first
transfer $6,000.000 [six million United States Dollar 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 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.Keith Lathan Coulter is a foreigner too and the money
can only be approved into a foreign a/c.

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
