Dear
I sincerely ask for forgiveness for I know this may
seem like a complete intrusion to your privacy but right about now this is
my option of communication. This mail might come to you as a surprise and
the temptation to ignore it as unserious could
come into your mind; but please consider it a divine wish and accept it with
a deep sense of humility.
I am Mr.Anuka Ifufeh, the Auditor General of NED BANK PLC here South Africa,
during the
course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank 1995 and since 1998 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. Franklin Sullivan, a foreigner, a miner and
an industrialist.He made millions of dollars before he died misteriously
.Since 1998 no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
it. My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary
and that Mr. Franklin Sullivan until his death was the manager Sullivan Coy.
(pty). SA. We will start the first transfer with Thirty six million dollars
[$36,000,000.00] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from
your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your
account.
The amount involved is (USD $136M) Thirty Six Million United States Dollars
only. I want to first transfer $36,000.000 [Thirty 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 revealing this to you with believing God that you will never let me
down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax
number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this
business proposition. With my influence and the position of a bank official
whom is working in our favour 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.
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.
Best Regards,
Mr.Anuka Ifufeh.
NB: YOU SHOULD SEND ME YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER IN YOUR REPLY FOR EASY
COMMUNICATION.
