Good Day ,
I am Mr Elhadj Muhamed, the Senior & Auditor
General of a Bank, during the course of our
auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an
account opened in the bank in 2000 and since 2003
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 a foreigner, a miner and an
industrialist. He made millions of dollars before
he died victoriously .Since DEC 26 2003 website
details as follow:
<http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/12/26/benin
.crash/>
and no other person knows about this account or
any thing concerning it.
My investigation proved to me that the account
has no other beneficiary and that until his death
he was the manager director of aluminium & steel
industries (PTY). SA. We will start the transfer
with the total sum involved {twenty Five million
dollars [$25,000,000.00 only, into your account,
as a safe foreigners bank account abroad, but I
don't know any foreigner abroad that's why I have
contacted you to bear the legal sole beneficiary
of the fund.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God
that you will never let me down in this business.
Also send your private telephone number and fax
number including the full details of the account
to be used for the deposit. I need your strong
assurance that you will never let me down in this
business proposition.
With my influence and the position in the bank,
as an official whom is working in our favour we
can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account which you can provide with
assurance that this money will be intact pending
my physical arrival in your country for sharing.
The bank official will destroy all documents of
transaction immediately you receive this fund
leaving and they will be no trace to any place
and to build confidence you can wrote immediately
to discuss with me the modalities,after I will
make this remittance in your presented account
and fix my resign date, to fly down to your
country at least 7 days ahead of the fund
transferred and confirm into the account.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be
given 45% of the total amount, 50% will be for
me, while 5% will be for expenses might have
incurred during the process of transferring. I
am waiting for your reply.
Best Regards,
Elhadj Muhamed
