RE: TRANSFER OF ($16,000.000.00 USD}SIXTEEN MILLION
DOLLARS).
My name is MR. PETROS OBASAEROGBE,I am the operational
manager in account section incharge of credit and foreign
bills of one of the prime banks here in South Africa. I am
writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank (MR.
ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who perished with
his whole families on 25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [
Flight AF4590 ] with the whole passengers aboard.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by this
great late
INDUSTRIALIST who died without a written or oral WILL
attatched to the account. Since his death , I personally
has watched with keen interest to see the next of kin but
all has proved abortive as no one has come to claim his
funds 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 his company.
I have secretly discussed this matter with the general
manager of my bank who I must involve in order to have a
smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign
bank account which you are going to nominate. On this note,
I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as
the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by
providing his/her bank account where the fund will be
transferred into for immediate investment on any viable
project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.
The banking ethics here does not allow such money to stay
more than six years without claim hence the money will be
recalled to the government treasury as unclaimed after this
long period of domancy.
In view of this I got your contact through my personal
search to see if you can assist by providing your safe bank
account for the transfer or find a reliable person who will
be capable of receiving such amount in his or her personal
account.At the conclussion of the transfer 65% of the fund
will be for us here, we would give you 20% of the total
transfer sum, 10% for charity both in Africa and in your
country while the remaining 5% will be set aside to settle
expenses both parties might incure during the transfer
process.
TO PROCEED, I would like you to send me the information of
any account of your choice where you will like this fund to
be transferred into.This transaction is totally free of
risk and trouble as the fund is a legitimate fund which
does not originate from drug,money laundry, terrorism or
any other illegal act.
Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a
detailed information about the transaction.I will not fail
to bring to your notice that this business is 100% risk and
trouble free and that you should not entertain any fear as
all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 7
to 9 banking days, after we apply to the bank as the
beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
CONTACT;MOST CONFIDENTIALLY MY PERSONAL EMAIL ABOVE OR FAX:27115076691
Best regards,
MR. PETROS PETER OBASAEROGBE
