{BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY/YOUR ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED}
Dear sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($136,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Thiry
six million United States Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you
to quietly 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.
My name is Mr. Ida Hubert, and I work in the International operation
department in a Local Bank here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL. Of 136,000,000 (One
Hundred and Thirty Six Million USD) on further discreet investigation, I
also discovered that the account holder has long since passed away (dead)
leaving no beneficiary to the account which was opened in the bank in 1990
and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again, after going
through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the
account died without a [heir] 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 Ahmed Tariq a foreigner, and he died, since 1993. and 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 Ahmed Tariq until his death was the manager ATariq Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with Thirty six million [$36,000.000] 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 amount involved is (USD 136M) One hundred and Thirty Six million United
States Dollars, only I want to first transfer $36,000.000 [Thirty Six
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 nternational 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 Ahmed Tariq is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be approved
into a foreign a/c.
