{KEEP THIS BUSINESS WITHIN YOURSELF FOR SECURITY AND SAFE REASONS}
Dear Sir\Madam,
We want to transfer to overseas 36,000,000 Pounds (Thirty Six Million
British Pounds) FROM London, 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 setup a new Bank A/C immediately to receive this
money,even an Empty A/C can serve, as long as you will remain 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 Auditor.Michael O Higgin ,the Auditor General of Bank here in London,
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 Peterson A Patman, a foreigner, and a sailor,and he died, since 1993.
and no other person
knows about this account or anything concerning it,the Account has no other
Beneficiary and my
investigation proved to me as well that Mr Peterson A Patman until his death
was the Manager of
Cluff Gold Company Ltd here in UK where he made a Millions of British
Pounds.
We will start the first transfer with SIX Million Pounds [6,000.000 Pounds]
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 (36M British Ponds Only)THIRTY SIX million British Ponds
Only, only I want to first transfer 6,000.000 Pounds [SIX million pounds}
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,but can only be
Approved to any foreigner with valid International Passport or Drivers
license and foreign A/C because the money is in Pounds and the former owner
of the A/C Mr Peterson A Patman is a foreigner too, and the money can only
be Approved into a foreign A/C.
I got your email through my Personal Secretary through the internet,She did
not know you before
neither do I know you she only got it when I told her that I needed an email
Address where I can
send a Confidential Proposal to,though I did not tell her what the content
of my mail was,It only
God that brought us together to do this business and I am revealing this to
you with believe in
God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and
the only person that
I am contacting for this business.
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. I need
your strong assurance that you will never,never let me down. With my
influence and the position
of the Bank official 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.I
will use my position
and influence to obtain all legal Approvals for onward transfer of this
money to your account
with apropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.The
onlything I needs from you now is to keep this business within yourself
untill I instruct you to
spread the Good news to anyone OK.
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 this
process.
Yours,
Auditor.Michael O Higgins
