Address by Mr.Reuben Hugo,
of First Rand Bank Pretoria.
South Africa.
Dear Sir/Madam,
We want to transfer to over seas ($36,000.000) [Thirty Six Million USD] from a Bank here in South Africa, I want to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and willing to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this fund, even an empty account can serve to receive this fund.
I am Mr.Reuben Hugo, I work in the International Remittance Operation Department in our Bank here in South Africa. However, I discovered a dormant domiciliary account with some of $36,000.000) [Thirty Six Million USD] on a routine inspection, on further discreet investigation, I also discovered that the account holder has long since passed away (dead) leaving no beneficiary to the account. The bank will approve this fund to any foreigner because the former operator of the account is a foreigner and from Hawalli, Kuwait in particular and I am certainly sure that he is dead, and nobody will come again for the claim of this fund a foreigner can only claim this money with legal claims to the account Holder; therefore I need your cooperation in this transaction.
We will start the first transfer with [$6,000.000] upon successful transfer without any disappoint from your side, we shall apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account. But I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local person here, without necessary information needed in order to claim this money which I am going to provide to you. I have secretly discussed this matter with the General Manager of the bank who I must involve in order to have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to any foreign Bank account which you are going to nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing his/her bank account where the fund will be transferred for immediate investment on any viable project as no one has come up to be the next of kin. The Banking ethics here does not allow such money to !
stay more
than six years without claim hence the fund will be recalled to the Government Treasury as unclaimed after this long period of domancy.
I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down, with my influence and the position together with the Bank Manager we can transfer this fund to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that the fund will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing and investment. The bank Manager will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive the fund 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 fund going into the account.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approval document that will accompany the fund into your account with appropriate clearance forms from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange control unit. At the conclusion of this transaction. I will give you 25% for your coopration.
Finally, Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a detailed information about the transaction. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is 100% genuine andlegal you should not entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer can be finalized within 14 banking days, after you apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from the deceased.
Contact me for more informations, and foreign payment procedures through my private email @ <reubenhugo@hotmail.com> so that I can reply you in office and at home.
Sincerely,
Reuben Hugo
