ATTENTION
DEAR PARTNER,
IN ORDER TO TRANSFER OUT ( FIFTEEN-MILLION POUNDS STERLINGS) FROM OUR BANK HERE
IN LONDON. I HAVE THE COURAGE TO LOOK FOR A RELIABLE AND HONEST PERSON WHO WILL
BE CAPABLE FOR THIS IMPORTANT TRANSACTION,BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME
DOWN EITHER NOW OR IN FUTURE.
I AM MR.DAVID MARK THE AUDITOR AND COMPUTING STAFF OF A BANK HERE IN SCOTLAND
UNITED KINGDOM. THERE IS AN ACCOUNT OPENED IN THIS BANK IN 1995 AND SINCE 2001
NOBODY HAS OPERATED ON THIS ACCOUNT AGAIN, AFTER GOING
THROUGH SOME OLD FILES IN THE RECORDS, I DISCOVERED THAT IF I DO NOT REMITT
THIS MONEY OUT URGENTELY, IT WILL BE FORFEITED FOR NOTHING.
HOW THE MONEY CAME ABOUT:
THE OWNER OF THIS ACCOUNT IS MR JOHN HUGHES FOREIGNER FROM AND THE MANAGER OF
PETROL CHEMICAL SERVICE HERE IN LONDON, A CHEMICAL ENGINEER BY PROFFESSION AND
HE DIED SINCE 1995.AND THEN,SINCE 2001, NOBODY KNOWS
ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT OR ANYTHING CONCERNING IT, THE ACCOUNT HAS NO OTHER
BENEFICIARY AND MY INVESTIGATION PROVED TO ME AS WELL THAT HIS COMPANY DOES NOT
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT AND THE AMOUNT INVOLVED IS
(15,000,000.00) POUNDS STERLINGS
I WANT TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY INTO A SAFE FOREIGN ACCOUNT ABROAD BUT I DON'T
KNOW ANY FOREIGNER, I AM ONLY CONTACTING YOU AS A FOREIGNER BECAUSE THIS MONEY
CAN NOT BE APPROVED TO ANY LOCAL BANK HERE IN SCOTLAND,
BUT CAN ONLY BE APPROVED TO ANY FOREIGN ACCOUNT BECAUSE THE MONEY IS POUNDS
STERLINGS AND THE FORMER OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT IS JOHN HUGHES AND HE WAS A
FOREIGNER TOO.
I KNOW THAT THIS MESSAGE WILL COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE AS WE DON'T KNOW OUR
SELF BEFORE,BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE BUSINESS.I BELIEVE IN GOD
THAT YOU WILL NEVER LET ME DOWN IN THIS INVESTMENT.
WHEN THE TRANSFER IS APPROVED AND PAYMENT SCHEDULE IS ALOCATED OVERSEAS,THROUGH
THE OFFSHORE PAYING DELEGATE FOR FINAL CLEARANCE AND SIGNING OF THE PAYMENT
REALEASE FORM BY THE BENEFICIARY, I WANT US TO SEE AT
THE OVERSEA PAYING CLEARANCE OFFICE FACE TO FACE OR SIGNING OF THE ORIGINAL
BINDDING AGREEMENT TO BIND US TOGETHER SO THAT,WE CAN RECEIVE THIS MONEY INTO A
FOREIGN ACCOUNT OR ANY ACCOUNT OF YOUR CHOICE WHERE THE FUND WILL BE REMITTED.
I AM CONTACTING YOU BECAUSE OF THE NEED TO INVOLVE A FOREIGNER WITH A FOREIGN
ACCOUNT AS THE REAL BENEFICIARY. I NEED YOUR CO-OPERATION TO MAKE
THIS WORK FINE, BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT IS READY TO APPROVE THIS PAYMENT TO ANY
FOREIGNER WHO HAS THE CORRECT INFORMATION TO THIS ACCOUNT,WHICH I WILL
GIVE TO YOU WHEN SURE OF YOUR CAPABILITY TO HANDLE SUCH AMOUNT IN STRICT
CONFIDENCE AND TRUST.
ACCORDING TO MY INSTRUCTIONS AND MY ADVICE FOR OUR MUTUAL BENEFIT BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY MISTAKE,I NEED YOUR STRONG ASSURANCE AND TRUST.I
SHALL DESTROY ALL DOCUMENTS CONCERNING THIS TRANSACTIONS IMMEDIATELY WE
RECEIVED THIS MONEY LEAVING NO TRACE TO ANY PLACE.
I WILL USE MY POSITION AND INFLUENCE ON OTHER STAFFS TO EFFECT THE LEGAL
APPROVALS AND ONWARD TRANSFER OF THIS MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT WITH APPROPRIATE
CLEARANCE FROM FOREIGN PAYMENT DEPARTMENT. WITH ASSURANCE THAT
THIS MONEY WILL BE INTACT PENDING MY PHYSICAL ARRIVAL TO YOUR COUNTRY FOR THE
SHARING AND OTHER INVESTMENT.HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU IMMEDIATELY.
THANKS
MR.DAVID MARK .
