The Branch Manager
The Amalgamated Banks of South
Africa (Absa),
Durban Branch Office
Hello My Dear
Friend.
How are you today ? i hope you are doing fine? Let me start by
introducing my self. My name is Mr Christo Vrey, i am a branch manager in The
Amalgamated Banks of South Africa (ABSA),
However I am writing to request
for your honest assistance to help me receive the sum of US$6, 750.000.00
million Dollar into your private bank account. This fund was what i discovered
in my branch as operational profit last two years{2007} as a result of my hard
work and commitment to service last 2 years (2007) I have already submitted an
approved (2007 & 2006) End of the Year financial report to my Head Office
here in South Africa.
Moreover, this amount that i want you to receive
for me is an excess fund in my own branch of the bank and my senior directors do
not know anything about this excess fund in my branch and they will never ever
know about it. Since then i placed this money(US$6,750.000.00). on a SUSPENSE
ACCOUNT that is not reactivated, dormant account without any beneficiary for
now.
As a branch manager I cannot be directly connected to this money,
this is the reason why I want your assistance to receive this money into your
private bank account in your country, i will direct you on how we can achieve
this aim.
However if you can come down here in South Africa it will also
help us to see face to face here in my bank and build more trust, then i will
prepare a bank deposit slip in your name and direct you on how to go to my head
office and withdraw this fund after i must have installed your name and your
basic information's in my banks customers computer database system as the
original depositor of this fund, after the withdrawal of this fund from my head
office you will take your share and i will take my share.
I intend to
part 40% of this fund to you while 57% shall be for me, and percent(3%) shall be
for expenses like your coming down here or any other thing that comes up, I also
want you to know that there is no single risk involved in this business. It is
going to be a bank-to-bank transfer to your nominated bank account anywhere you
feel safer in this world, this is if you can not come down here in South Africa,
but if you wish to come i will provide visa for you to come.
All I need
from you is to stand as the original depositor of this fund. If you accept this
offer, I will appreciate your timely response. You can forward your private
phone number for speedy relation on this matter. Remember l am still working in
this bank, your confidentiality is needed in this transaction. Please trust and
honest is the watchword of this our transaction.
Thanks and best
regards,
Mr. Christo Vrey
