From: "isaac uno" <edoamen@gmail.com>
Date: Tue, 20 May 2008 11:54:22 +0200
Subject: confidential
Dear Friend,
The purpose of my writing to you is because i am searching for a foreign
business partner who is in a position to assist me with my urgent business
proposal, as time is not on my side. A partner, who understands what
confidentiality, means and who has the necessary
facilities I require in embarking on this important venture. I decided to
contact you through email as it has remained the only possible means I
consider safe to contact you. I apologize if this is not suitable to you.
We want to transfer to abroad $US16.5m (Sixteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) from A Security Company, Serveis
Galdian 111 SL Spain Branch. I am contacting you in a non-official capacity.
To provide either an existing bank Account or to set up a new bank account
immediately to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to
receive
this money as long as you will remain honest to the transaction.
We will Start the first Transfer with Six Million U.S.Dollars
[$6,000.000.00] upon successful Transfer without any disappointment from
your side, we shall re-apply for the Transfer of the remaining Ten Million
United States Dollars [$10, 500.000.00]
I am an Accountant with Serveis Galdian 111 SL, Spain.
During the Course of Our Auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an
account opened with the Security Company in 2001 and since 2006 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 an
[Heir], Hence the money has been floating and if I do not remit this money
out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing to the Spanish Government.
>From my investigations I found out that the owner of this account was
Mr.Robert Hendrickson a foreigner, and an Industrialist, he died since
2006 no other person knows about this account or anything concerning
it except and most probably you as you read this letter.
The account has no beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that Mr. Robert Hendrickson until his death was the Managing Director,
Autohaus Fuchs.
I am contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved
to a foreigner with a valid International Passport, Drivers License and
foreign account because the money is in US Dollars and the former owner of
the account Mr. Robert Hendrickson is a foreigner.
I am revealing all this to you with the belief that you will never let me
down in this business. For your active participation, I have two options
of compensating you.
Firstly you can choose to have 25% of the total money for your assistance
or you can go into partnership with me for the proper and profitable
investment of the entire money in your country in any lucrative business you
will advise me of. Of course, the investment must be under your direct
management and supervision. As soon
as the money has been transferred into your account, I shall come to your
country and meet you face to face to work out the modalities of the
investments.
Please notify me of your choice in your reply. I have also set aside 5% of
the total sum $16.5M for all kinds of expenses that may come our way in
the process of this transaction. Please note that this 5% for expenses is
not with me at the moment but shall be deducted
from the money as soon as you have received it in your account. Be
informed that this transaction is risk free as all modalities have been
put in place for a hitch free transaction.
To commence this transaction, I require you to immediately indicate your
interest by a return e-mail to the below email address and enclose the
following: your full name and address, your private telephone and fax
number your Age and occupation I will discuss with you in details when I
receive your response.
Please reply to my private email: philipjones@myway.com
Thanks.
PHILIP JONES
