CONFIDENTIAL DOCUMENT
ATTENTION:
I am james kenneth the chief auditor of NED BANK of
South Africa.I got your contact address from your
country s Trade Journal.Your impressive and managerial
records made me to solicit for your partnership in
these regards. You are the only person that I have
contacted for this bussiness as at now, with the
believe that you will not let me down.After going
through some old files in the records during the
audict for the year in my own department which I am
supper heading now, I discovered that there was an
account opened in this our bank since 1982 and 1992,
and since then till now nobody has operated on this
very account. The owner of this account as I
discovered from bank record secretly , is late Mr.
Jerome N. Snaga, a foreigner and a miner at the Anglo
Gold Platinum Mining Company in Mafikeng south africa,
as a geologist by profession and he has died since
1992 and Up till now, no other person knows about this
account or anything concerning this money , no other
persons name or group was puting as the beneficiary
of this money beacuse according to my investigation
which I made last few months ago proved to me that
his family and his company does not know anything
about this account , beacuse they have fold up after
the death of late Mr. Jerome N. Snaga, a foreigner and
a miner at the Anglo Gold company in south africa
here and the amount involved in this discovered
account is US$ 23.5Million . SO I want to transfer
US$8 Million (eight Million UnitedStatesDollars) out
from this very money to a safe foreign account in
abroad first ,before the rest,but I ve not gotten a
trusted foreigner who will claim this money in his
name as the beneficiary which I will secretly put
your name in this very file hence this money is own by
a foriengner not a citizen.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money can not be approved to a local bank here, but
can be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in US dollars and the former owner of the
account Mr.Snaga was a foreigner and this money ,
needs to involve a foreign account according to bank
proccedures.
So I only need your full co peration inoder for both
of us to make this bussiness smoothly because the
management is ready to approve this payment to whoever
that has correct information to this very account of
which I will give to you later, if you are able to
handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instruction and advice for our mutual
benefits because this opportunity will never come
again in my life.I need your strong assurance, honesty
trust and reliability beacuse With my position now in
this office there is nothing to be afriad of atull.
With my full position now at my department I can
even transfer this money to any reliable account,which
you can provide to me with assurance that this money
will be intact pending my physical arrival in your
country for sharing of this money. I will destroy all
documents of transaction immediately we receive this
money, leaving no trace of any and also resigned from
my post in the office.You can also come here for us to
discuss with me face-to-face then the remittance will
be made in the presence of both of us. Then we will
fly to your country at least two days ahead before
money gets into your private account.I have the
tendency to invest my own share of the money in your
country in expectation on sound management and good
capital returns according to your advice. Be assured
that you stand no risk of any kind as the fund
belongs to us now. Therefore,after the eventual stage
of the transfer of this fund,I am offering you 25% of
the total fund, 50% will be for me while 5% will be
set aside for expenses that we might incured during
the course of transfering or you mail me to discuss
on the percentage if this, did not go well with you. I
strongly believe that associating with you to embark
on this fund will yeild a good fruit of geting this
money out for our own benefit, other business ventures
will derive a huge success there after. I will use my
position to influence to effect approvals for onward
transfer of this money to your personal account with
appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and
foreign exchange department. I am counting on your
sense of confidentiality, as it is my desire now,
keep this to yourself.Unless otherwise indicated or
obvious from the nature of this transmittal, the
