that there is an account opened in 1980 belonging to the late Mr.
Jerome
N. Snaga a foreigner and a miner at Kruger Gold Company a geologist by
profession and since 1990 nobody has operated the account following Mr.
Snagas death in 1990. Since then, no other person knows about this
account, and the amount involved is US$82 million (EIGHTY TWO MILLION
UNITED STATE DOLLARS).*
**
*I would like to first transfer US$12 million into your overseas account as,
a foreigner because Mr. Snaga was a foreigner then later I will
transfer
the remaining US$70 million before joining you in person for
disbursement
and investment opportunity which you will be an asset to it. I am only
contacting you because of your foreign status as this money cannot be
approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to any foreign
account
because the money is in a foreign currency (US dollars) and former
owner
of the account, Mr. Snaga was a foreigner.*
*Because of the need to involve a foreign account, I need your full
co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to
approve the payment to whoever has the correct information to this
account, of which I will give you later, if you are able to handle such
amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and
advice for our mutual benefits because this opportunity will never come
again in our lives. I need a trustworthy person in this business
because
I don't want to make a mistake and I need your strong assurance, trust
and
reliability.*
*With my position now in the office and the influence of the top bank
director of the Nigeria Reserve Bank, I will make sure that this
money is transferred into any reliable account, which you can provide
with
the assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical
arrival
in your country for my sharing. Your physical presence is also welcomed
in
NIgeria in which the transfer will be done in your presence. I
will
destroy all the documents of the transaction immediately you receive
this
money, leaving no trace in any place.*
*I have the tendency to invest my own share of the money in your country
in
expectation to a sound management and a good capital returns according
to
your advice. Rest assured you stand no risk of any kind as the fund
belong to us now, therefore after the eventual stage of the transfer of
this fund, I am offering you 30% of the total fund, 65% will be for my

incurred
during the cause of this transaction.*

transfer and other business ventures will derive a huge success there
after. I will use my position to effect approvals for onward transfer
of
this money to your account with appropriate clearance form from the
ministries and foreign exchange department. I am counting on your sense
of
confidentiality, as it is my desire that you keep this to yourself and
endeavor to furnish me with your private telephone (mobile preferably),
fax numbers and your bank details where you would like the first
payment
to be transferred into for a quickly arrangements and approval.*
