Dear Friend,
( RE:
TRANSFER OF ($125,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS
I want to transfer ($125,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred & Twenty
five million United States Dollars
from a Prime Bank here in South
Africa to an oversea account. First, I must solicit your
strictest
confidence in this ransaction. This is by virtue of it's nature as
being utterly
confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your
ability and reliability to prosecute a
transaction of this great
magnitude.
I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said
amount into your safe account for
unward investment.You can either
provide us with an existing account or to set up a new Bank
account
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as
long as you will remain honest to me till the
end of this important business trusting in you and
believing that
you will never let me down either now or in future.
I am the personal
account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who has an account in
one of
the top banks here in South Africa. The account was opened in
1998 and he died in 2003 without a
written or oral WILL and since
2003 nobody has operated on this account again 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 and
no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was the
manager of the
company.My investigation through the National
immigration department proved to me as well that
he was single as at
the time of his entry into the Republic of South Africa. The amount in
this
account is USD$125 Million ( One Hundred & Twenty five Million
United States Dollars ) only.
As a matter of fact, I have decided to
transfer this fund abroad for investment. Your
assistance as a
foreigner is necessary because the management of the bank will welcome
any
foreigner who has correct information to this account which I
will give to you immediately, if
you are interested to do this
business with me.There is no risk in this business. With my
position
and my personal contact with the manager of the bank, the money can be
transferred to
any account you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending our physical
arrival in your country
for sharing.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty five
million [$25,000.000]. Upon successful transfer
without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of
the remaining
balance of $100 Million to your account. I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this
money can not be approved
to a local person here, but can only be pproved to any foreigner
who
has the correct information of the account which I will provide
for you.
So you should provide me with your correct account detail
where you will like the fund to be
transferred or you can set up a new
account for the transfer even an empty account is ok. At the
conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any
expenses both parties incurred
in the process of this business and
the remaining 60% will be for me. As soon as I hear from you
and upon
your strong assurance that you will not let me down once the fund goes
into your account
I will then start the processing of the transfer
of the fund to your account without further
delay.
You should send
the a/c information as stated below.......together with your telephone
nos. both
Home, Office & Cell phone for easier & faster
communication.
Bank Name...........
Bank Address.........
A/C
Name..............
A/C Number...............
Swift
Code..................
Your Telephone................
Routing
Number..................
State Country.....................
After the
proper sharing of the first $25Million, we will decide how to transfer
the 2 phase
whether to use the same of your account or if you will set
up a new Bank account to receive the
second tranche of 100M.When
calling do not add South African country code beacuse it's a satelite
phone only add your country dial out code and dial direct.and always
Contact me urgently via

phone: +874-763593730 +870-763593730 for further
details.
