{KEEP THIS BUSINESS WITHIN YOURSELF FOR SECURITY AND
SAFE REASONS}
Hello,
We want to transfer to overseas [79.500,000,000.00]
Seventy nine million five hundred United States
Dollars) from a Guaranty Trust Bank (Gambia) Ltd, 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 funds quitely.
I am Mr. JAMES WILSON, the accountant personal
confidant to Dr. Ravindra F. Shah who died together
with his wife Dr.Mrs. Manjula Parikh-Shah in a plane
crash on the 1st Oct. 2003 on their way to attend
wedding in Boston.
You can view the below website to have more
information about the deceased.
http://www.shhair.org/Articles/ConcordPlaneCrashKillsNYCouple.htm
Dr. Ravindra F. Shah, is an American, a physician and
industrialist with the Gambia National Petroleum
Corporation for years, he died last years without
having any beneficiary to his assets including his
account here in Gambia which he opened in a Guaranty
Trust Bank (Gambia) Ltd in the year 2000 as his
personal savings for the purpose of expansion and
developement of his company before his untimely death
in 2003.
The amount involved is ($79.500,000,000.00) Seventy
nine million five hundred United States Dollars, no
other person knows about this account, I am contacting
you for us to transfer this funds to your account as
the beneficiary, I want to first transfer
$19.500,000.000.00 (Nineteen million five hundred USD)
from this money into a safe account abroad, after
which we will transfer the remaining (60M) 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 Dr.Ravindra F. Shah is a foreigner
too, and as such the money can only be approved into a
foreign a/c.
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. At the conclusion of this business, you will
be given 30% of the total amount, 65% 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 through my email
address
Sincerely,
JAMES WILSON
