DEAR SIR,
( 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 transaction. 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 approved 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.
Contact me urgently via email for further
details.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Andrew Savoor.
