Subject: A LETTER FROM MR EBERE
ATTN:SIR/MADAM
[RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000.00]
[confidential]
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business having
gone through your remarkable profile
on the internet. Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly
abused, I choose to reach you through it
because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However,
this correspondence is
unofficial and private, and it should be treated as such.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk
and trouble free to both
parties.
My name is MR MIKE EBERE, I work as the operational manager in account
management section in
charge of credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks here in
South Africa. On a routine inspection I
discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a Balance Of
US$48,223,000. 00 (Forty eight million two
hundred and twenty three thousand U.S dollar).On further discreet
investigation, I also discovered that
the account holder has died long ago with his family on a fatal
Auto-accident leaving no beneficiary to the
account and no other person knows about this account.
I am in close contact with the manager of the bank here who is my
partner and he is willing to approve
the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner with foreign
bank account because the former operator
of the a/c is a foreigner and from Australia in particular. I am
certainly sure that he has no writen
or oral WILL attached to the account , no beneficiary and nobody will
come again for the claim of this
money.
It is only a foreigner who can claim this money with legal claims to
the account holder which I will
provide to you if you are interested, therefore I need your cooperation
in this transaction. The difference
in country of origins is not a hindrance to the success of this
transaction. This money will remain
useless in this dormant account if I did not transfer the fund out to a
foreign account.
I will provide the necessary information and documents needed in order
to claim this money. I only
need your cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank account
information for the transfer. All
arrangement that will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the
account which you are to nominate is
already in place.You should also provide me with your direct phone
lines for easy communication. I wish for
utmost confidentiality in handling this transaction.
At the conclussion of this transaction, your share will be 25% of the
total transfer sum, 70% for me and
my partner while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties
might incure during the process of the
transfer. The fund will be transferred to your account in two parts. I
will first transfer USD 20 Million to
your account. I will fly over to meet you after the successful transfer
for sharing according to the
agreed percentages. I will have the remaining balance of USD28,223
Million transferred to your account only after the successful sharing of the
first transfer without any disappointment from your side.
Have a nice day as I entrust this transfer into your
hands.
Let me hear from you Urgently
Best Regards
MR MIKE EBERE
