Subject: URGENT REQUEST ..................
Dear Sir/Madam,
We might be strangers to ourselves now but as time goes on incase you are
willing to assist me in making this proposal a reality,we will now probably
meet in person.
We want to transfer to overseas account ($7,000.000.00 USD) Seven million
United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank here in London, I want to ask you,
If you can look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit
to provide either an existing Bank Account or to set up a new Bank A/C
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 for this
important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
I am the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in London, during
the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened
in the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account
again,after going throughsome old files in the records I discovered that the
owner of the account died without a[Heir/WILL] 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 PEDRO F. HASLER a foreigner, a great
industrialist and he died since 1998.
No other person knows about this Account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that until his death he was the manager GOLD ARK [pty].S.A. We will start
the first transfer with Twelve million [$12,000.000] upon successful
transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining rest amount to your Account. The total amount
involve is Seven million United States Dollars only [$7,000.000.00]. I want
to first transfer $4,000.000.00 [Four million United States Dollar] from
this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest.
But I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money can not be approved to a local Person here, without valid
international foreign passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign A/C because
the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the a/c is a foreigner
too, and the money can only be approved into a foreign A/C. However, we will
sign a binding agreement, to bind us together when we meet face to face
after the first transfer of $4 Million before transferring the second part
of $3 Million. I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will
never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I
will inform you the next step to take urgently.
Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face to
build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together
immediately after the first transfer before we fly to your country for
withdrawal, sharing and investments. I need your full co-operation to make
this work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to
any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give
to you upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is
deeply involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down. I have
perfected all modalities for the successful transfer of this money to you as
the beneficiary. Finally, I have to reassure you that this transaction is
100% risk free and should be kept absolutely confidential. Presently, you
can reach me by return mail, you should also include your telephone numbers
if any, for secured communication between us With my influence and my
position in the bank the bank official can transfer this money to any
foreigner's reliable account that you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for
sharing. The bank official Will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build
confidence you can call me for heart to heart discussion through my private
satellite phone which I secured for the security and safety of this business
as you know that this business is confidential.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for
onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance
from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments. I will
provide you with 30% for assisting us and 5% to be set aside for
reimbursement, for expenses that may arise during the process of concluding
the transaction. The fund shall be transferred to you legally in accordance
to all laid down proceduresgoverning transfer of funds.
I look forward to your earliest reply through this email address or my
professional butconfidential
email address: allen_6@3xl.net.
Thanks and God Bless.
Yours truly Mr. Allen Bruce.
N.B Definitely,a transaction of this magnititude needs funds to execute and
make it a reality and before,i contacted you,i have already made a
feasibility study on how much we would need to carryout this project and it
is about $35,000. Do not be alarmed,you are not going to spend any fund of
yours caused before i contacted you,i have already made an arrangement with
an investor in canada,who is going to assist us with the funds needed for us
to complete the transaction.
If you are interested,immediately,give me your telephone/fax number and
contact address for me to give to the investor to contact you and send the
funds needed for us to complete the transaction.
