(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
{ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)
Dear sir,
I am Mr.Nelson Christer, the Auditor General of a bank in South Africa,
during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account
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 Mr. Phillip Morris, a foreigner, and a sailor, 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 Phillip Morris until his death was the manager Morris
Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty six million [$26,000.000]
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 126M) One hundred and
Twenty Six million United States Dollars, only I want to first transfer
$26,000.000 [Twenty 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 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
Mr. Phillip Morris 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 I got your
contact address from the Girl who operates computer, 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 before transferring the money to
any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. 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 will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that
you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. 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. At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of
the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both
parties might have incurred
