URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
TRANSFER OF (US$34,000,000.00)
(THIRTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS)
Dear Sir/Madam,
We want to transfer to overseas ($34,000.000.00 USD) Thirty four million
united states dollars from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you to quietly
look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to
provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to receive
this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this
important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am MR.COLLINS U. EKEH, the Auditor General of ECOBANK NIGERIA LIMITED,
during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account
again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that
the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr.Arthur Coleman ,a foreigner, and an Industrialist,
who died since 1993 and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation
proved to me as well that Arthur Coleman until his death was the manager
of Coleman Coy.(pty). SA. We will start the first transfer with twenty
four million dollars(US$24,000,000.00) upon successful transaction without
any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of
the remaining amount to your account.
The amount involved is (US$34M) Thirty four million us dollars United States
Dollars only. I want to first transfer us$24,000.000 [twenty four 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 can not be approved to a local person
here, without valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved
to a foreigner with valid international passport or drivers license and
foreign a/c because the money is in US DOLLARS and the former owner of
the a/c Mr. Arthur Coleman is a foreigner too, and the money can only
be approved into a foreign a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together. I got your
contact address from my Secretary who operates computer. I am revealing
this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for
this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you on the
next step to take urgently.
Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details
of the account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face to face
to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together
before transferring the money to any account of your choice where the fund
will be safe before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
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, upon your positive response and
once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instructions
of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,never let me down. With
my influence and the position of the bank official, we can transfer this
money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country
for sharing.
The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately
we receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence
you can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I
will make this remittance in your presence and three 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 actand receive this fund in your account.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for
onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance
from the relevant 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 forexpenses both parties might have incurred during
the process of transfering.
