RE: TRANSFER OF ($36,000.000.00 USD THIRTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
Dear Sir,
Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that
this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat
it serious
We want to transfer to overseas ($36,000.000.00 USD) Thirty six million
United States Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, 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 money, 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 Mr, Aban Yanam, the Auditor General of a bank
in Africa, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 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 as the owner of this account is Mr. Frankline Sullivan, a
foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1998. 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 Frankline
Sullivan until his death was the manager Sulliv Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with six million [$36,000.000] 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 136M) One hundred and 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. Frankline Sullivan is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be
approved into a foreign a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from my secretary
who operates computer, 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, so please reply urgently so
that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send also your
private telephone and fax number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign a binding
agreement that will bind us 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 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, ever 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 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.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately
I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive
this fund in your account. I will use my position and
influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the
relevant ministries
and foreign exchange departments.
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.
I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR EARLIEST REPLY
