{EIGHTEEN

(RE: TRANSFER
OF ($ 18,000,000.USD)
{BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITY/YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED}
My name is Micheal Biko, and I
work in the International operation
department in a Local Bank here in
South Africa. On a routine inspection I
discovered a dormant
domiciliary account with a BAL. Of 18,000,000 (Eighteen
Million USD)
on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the
account
holder has long since passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to
the
account.
The bank will approve this money to any foreigner because the
former
operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in particular
and I am
certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come again
for the claim of
this money A foreigner can only claim this money with
legal claims to the
account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation
in this transaction.
I will provide the necessary information needed
in order to claim this
money, But you will need to open an account
where this can be transferred.
If interested send your private
Telephone No. And Fax number including full
details of the account to
be used for the Deposit I wish for utmost
confidentiality in handling
this transaction as my job and the future of my
family would be
jeopardized if it were breached.
The informations will be as
follows.......
Bank Name.........
Bank Address........
A/C
Name.............
A/C Number..............
Swift Code No..............
Routing Number................
I want to assure you that the
transaction is without risk if due process is
followed accordingly.
Finally I will give you 25% for your corporation.
I look forward to a
favorable response from you.
Thank's for your maxinium co-operation
and remain blessed.
Best Regards,
Micheal Biko.
