ATTN:DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
Dear,
In order to transfer out (USD 26 M) twenty six million
United States Dollars) from African Development Bank.
I have the courage to ask you to look for a reliable
and honest person who will be capable for this
important business believing that you will never let
me down either now or in future.
I am DR.JOHN YUSUF,the Chief auditor of African
Development Bank (ADB). There is an account opened in
this bank in 1980 and since 1990 nobody has operated
on this account again. After going through some old
files in the records, I discovered that if I do not
remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited
for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. MANTO
A.JOHNNY, a foreigner, and a miner at kruger gold co.,
a geologist by profession and he died since 1990. 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 this
company does not know anything about this account and
the amount involved is (USD 26M) twenty six million
United States Dollars million dollars. I want to first
transfer USDM twenty six million United States Dollars
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 cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can
only be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in us dollars and the former owner of the
account is Mr. MANTO A.JOHNNY he is a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a
surprise as we don't know ourselves before. We will
sign an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a
genuine business.
I only got your contact address from my secretary who
operates computer, with believe in God that you will
never let me down in this business. You are the only
person that I have contacted in this business; so
please reply urgently so that I will inform you the
next step to take immediately. 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 or sign a binding agreement to bind
us together so that you can receive this money into a
foreign account or any account of your choice where
the fund will be safe. And I will fly to your country
for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner with foreign account and foreign
beneficiary. 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
later immediately, if you are able and with capability
to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual
benefit because this opportunity will never come again
in my life. I need truthful person in this business
because I don't want to make mistake I need your
strong assurance and trust.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable account, which you
can provide with assurance that this money will be
intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction
immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to
any place. You can also come to discuss with me face
to face after which I will make this remittance in
your presence and two of us will fly to your country
at least two days ahead of the money going into the
account.
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 effect legal approvals and onward
transfer of this money to your account with
appropriate clearance forms of the 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
during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours truly,
DR.JOHN YUSUF..
