Attn:President/CEO
Compliments of the day to you. Obviously this message might come as a surprise to you, but please consider it as a high priority issue, which will definitely change our destiny.
I am Miss Becky Bisi, The Chief Auditor for the Amalgamated Bank of South Africa (ABSA BANK) for duration of 17 years now, with about 10 months left for an over-due retirement.
There is a Draft Account opened in this bank in 1988 by longtime client of mine Mr. Smith Brent, who was a foreigner and a miner at Kruger Mining Company, he was also a geologist for several other mining conglomerates
In Africa, before he passed away in 1995 due to severe cardiac arrest in a South Africa Hospital, leaving nobody as the next of kin or beneficiary of the money after his death. As his financial auditor before his death, I am aware of every details of his bank account from 1990-2004 when the last
Deposit was made before his death. As a matter of fact the amount in this account is currently Eighteen Million United States Dollars (US$18,000,000.00) waiting to be approved for immediate payment by the bank
To any foreign account holder with accurate details concerning this account from 1988-1995, when the last deposit was made.
In other words No withdrawal or deposit has been made since 1995 to Date into this account.
I am contacting you as foreigner because this money cannot be approved for payment into a local account, but can only be approved for a foreign
Account, because it was insured and there is aclause in the depository agreement by the Bank and (Mr. Smith Brent) which states that on Nocondition can any
Local withdrawal be made from this account unless the money is transfer into a foreign account. In effect withdrawals can be made only when the money has transferred from the vaults of the bank to a foreign bank account.
If you are willing and capable of handling such amount in strict
Confidence and trust according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefits.
Because this opportunity will never come my way again. I will use my Position and influence to
Effect all the legal approvals and onward transfer of this money into your nominated overseas bank account with the appropriate clearance certificate from the Ministries and Foreign Exchange
Department.
I will physically be in your country for sharing as soon as you
confirmed the money in your bank account, but agreement will be signed by both parties .
Concerning the sharing modalities to avoid misunderstandings.
Finally, you should reply urgently by sending your bank account details with your private telephone and fax number to enable my attorney to certify you as beneficiary of the said money at the Ministry of justices make sure you read carefully and understand the contents of my mail.
Thanks and God Bless.
