RE:TRANSFER OF $28.5 million(USD)
In order to transfer out $28.5 million(USD) from GRAND FINANCE AND TRUST BANK.
I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and
confidential business believing that you will never let me down either now or
in future.Because it is highly confidential and secret.
I am MR.JOHNSON GUBE,the MANAGER of GRAND FINANCE AND TRUST BANK.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since year 2000 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 will be forfeited for nothing or reverted into the selfish
government purse.
The owner of this account was Mr.Hassan Balhas Ghadar, a foreigner, and a miner at D&D INVESTMENT
CO., a geologist by profession and he died since year 2000.
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 his company does
not know anything about this account and the amount involved is $28.5 million(USD).
I want to transfer the $28.5 million(USD) into a safe foreigner's 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 a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international
passport or drivers license and foreign account.
Because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the account Mr.Hassan Balhas
Ghadar,was a foreigner too.
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don’t know ourselves before,
but be sure that it is real and a genuine business as I have put in place the neccesary
logistics that will ensure a hitch free transfer into your account upon acceptance.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 urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax number for urgent communication.
I would have liked us to meet face to face but as a bank top official,I am not allowed by
law of the land to travel outside the country for now.Kindly assist me so that you can receive
this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be safe.
I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments once you confirm the
money in your account. 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 immediately,if you are able and capable 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 and your strong
assurance and trust are equally needed.
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 and I want to
remind you that your share has been calculated at 30% of the total sum.
I want to tell you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal because all the documents that will back up this transaction will be available, so
that no body will question the fund when it is finaly tranfered to your
account.
I am waiting for your urgent reply so that I will give you more information about
this transaction through my private mobile email navigator: banktransferproject@yahoo.fr or my phone contact.
Regards and God bless.
MR.JOHNSON GUBE.
