FROM, EDWIN JOHNSON
ABSA Bank
Absa Building,
C/o Pretorius and Van der Walt Streets,
P.O. Box 3915 Pretoria 0001
Tel:+ 27 73 190 2028(PRIVATE)
Attn: President / C.E.O.,
Greeting from Johannesburg,
In order to execute and transfer out (US$15Million) Fifteen Million United
States Dollars from Absa Tel:Bank. I have picked up trust and courage to
look for a reliable and trustworthy person like you who will be capable of
this important transaction believing that you will never let me down either
now or in the future since you have a reliable company.
My name is Micjohnson the Chief Auditing Officer of the Absa Bank. There is
an account opened in this bank in 1997 and since 2001, nobody has operated
this account. After going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out urgently, it would be
forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account Late Mr. Thomas C. Green of United Sates of
America, was an Independent miner attached to Kruger Gold Company (KGCSA), a
geologist by profession, and he died last two months. No other person knows
about this amount or anything concerning it, I have contacted US embassy
here and they are not aware of his sum held here in our bank, therefore the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that his family company in L.A. (Thomas Green Security Inc.) does not know
anything about this account and the amount involved is (US$15,000,000.00).
I am contacting you based on the fact that you are a foreigner, because this
money can only be approved for payment to a foreigner, more so it cannot be
approved by local bank here, as this money is in US Dollars, hence the
former owner of this account is a foreigner too. I know that this proposal
will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before, however, I
based my move on trust and God's directive and we still have to meet
possibly, sign some agreement before the final transfer of the fund into any
of your chosen designated bank account.
Please, treat with utmost confidentiality.
I will provide all necessary legal documents needed to back up any claim we
may make including a copy of the detailed information and the account code.
All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this
transaction through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law.
Contact me as quickly as possible after office hours between 16:00pm till
late hours through the above telephone number and please with your personal
contact details..
Expecting your urgent call.
Yours faithfully,
Mr EDWIN JOHNSON
