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 nee!
d
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.
