Subject: CAN I TRUST YOU
Greetings From jac brown.
I write to seek your consent in a private and
confidential matter regarding some funds unaccounted
for in my bank here in South Africa during the last
2005 business year. I need assistance from a
trustworthy and reliable person whom I will fill in as
the beneficiary. Your major role would be to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new
Bank account immediately to receive this money and get
20% of the total funds as commission. There are
practically no risks involved, the transaction will be
executed under a legitimate arrangement that will
protect you from any breach of the law, it will be
simply a bank-to-bank transfer, and all I need from
you is to stand claim as the original depositor of
these funds who made the deposit with my branch so
that my head office can order the transfer to your
designated bank account under few working days.
I am Mr.jac brown, the regional manager of AFRICA DEVELOPMENT BANK (AFDB), and I write you this proposal in good faith; I am married with two lovely kids. It is my duty as the regional manager to send infinancial report to my head office in the capital city Johannesburg at the end of each business year. On the
course of the last year 2005 business report, I
discovered that my branch in which I am the manager
made eight million eight hundred and fifty thousand
united state dollars ($8,850,000.00) which my head
office is not aware of and will never be aware of. I
have placed this funds on what we call escrow call
account with no beneficiary and as an officer of this
bank I cannot be directly connected to this money,
hence i contacted you.
If you accept to work with me I will appreciate it very much as you are the first and the only person
I am contacting for this transaction. At this juncture, I wish to tell you what prompted me to
package this deal. I have a 9-year old daughter who
has leukemia, a disease of the blood, and she needs a
bone marrow transplant or she will die. I want this
transplanting to be done in any good childrens
hospital in your country if there is one. Once this
fund is transferred into your account, I shall resign
from my job and bring my family to start a new life in
your country. I would be grateful if you would help me
invest my own part of the money in a very profitable
business. I have worked for this bank for the past 15
years yet I have nothing to show for it, I really need
your assistance to secure this fund as soon as
possible.
I suggest you give me your private tel:no and fax:no for easy communication stating your abilities in this deal.As soon as you receive this message if you think we can work together so that we can go over the details.Thanks.
Truly yours,
Mr. jac brown.
