MY AGE:54YRS
I am a professional Accountant I have been in the field for over 8years and
I am 54years old married with 5 children 2 girls and 3 boys I am also from a
Christian home and by the Nature of our tradition and being the first born
of my Father, I will occupy my Father's traditional Throne chair after he
passes on, and being the traditional Chief of our community and as the heir
apparent to the Royal Throne chair I can never, never do anything, that will
tarnish your image or the image of the Great Cesthwayo family, the birth
place and traditional home of Chaka the Zulu the legend, well you can
understand more about our family in a book called Africa who is who or from
the book called the makers of modern Africa, However I am not doing this
business because of the large amount that is involved but rather because
it's safe and very safe for both of us, I will be very happy to welcome you
in my Father's Royal palace when once you touch your feet in the soil of
South Africa and after the successful venture from here, we will go together
to your country,pls You should not entertain any fear for any reason because
I will not do anything that will hurt your feelings and I wouldn't like you
to do anything that will hurt my feeling too, rather the proceed of this
success will benefit both families from generation to generation as long as
you follow my key instructions that will be coming from good source.
I want to transfer ($125,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred & Twenty five million
United States Dollars from a Prime Bank here in South Africa to an oversea
account. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this
transaction. This is by virtue of it's nature as being utterly confidential.
I am sure and have confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a
transaction of this great magnitude.
I solicit your assistance to enable us transfer the said amount into your
safe account for unward investment.You can either provide us with an
existing
account or to set up a new Bank account 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 of this important business trusting
in you and believing that you will never let me down
either now or in future.
I am the personal account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who has an
account in one of the top banks here in South Africa. The account was opened
in 1998 and he died in 2003 without a written or oral WILL and since 2003
nobody has operated on this account again 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 a foreigner and no other person knows about
this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary
and until his death he was the manager of the company.My investigation
through the National immigration department proved to me as well that he was
single as at the time of his entry into the Republic of South Africa. The
amount in this account is USD$125 Million ( One Hundred & Twenty five
Million United States Dollars ) only.
As a matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad for
investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary because the
management of the bank will welcome any foreigner who has correct
information to this account which I will give to you immediately, if you
are interested to do this business with me.There is no risk in this
business.
With my position and my personal contact with the manager of the bank, the
money can be transferred to any account you can provide with assurance that
this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for
sharing.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty five million [$25,000.000].
Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we
shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of $100 Million to your
account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not
be approved to a local person here, but can only be approved to any
foreigner who has the correct information of the account which I will
provide for you.
So you should provide me with your correct account detail where you will
like the fund to be transferred or you can set up a new account for the
transfer even an empty account is ok.
The A/C Details have to be arranged as follows,
BANK NAME:............
BANK ADDRESSE:........
BANK A/ NO:...........
BENEFICIARY NAME:.....
A/C ROUTING NO/SWIFT CODE:.
AND YOUR PRIVTAE TELEPHONE NO:..
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any
expenses both parties incurred in the process of this business
and the remaining 60% will be for me. As soon as I hear from you and upon
your strong assurance that you will not let me down once the fund goes into
your account I will then start the processing of the
transfer of the fund to your account without further
delay.
Contact me urgently via telephone or email for further
details.
Yours In Business,
Mr.Basil Tony.
