ATTN.Dear Friend,
From DR,Hassan Aliou.
RE: TRANSFER OF ($26,000.000.00 USD} TWENTY SIX
MILLION DOLLARS.
I want to transfer ($26,000.000.00 USD) Twenty six
million United States Dollars from a Bank here
in Dakar Senegal to 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 for 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 a great late
INDUSTRIALIST who has an account in one of the top
banks here in Senegal. The account was opened in
1996 and he died in 1998 without a written or oral
WILL and since 1998 nobody has operated on t
his account again hence the money is floating and if I
do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing since the bank
has been sold on Wed, 19 Mar 2003 to another bank and
the management of the bank is now ready to release the
fund to any foreigner who has the correct information
of the account before fully handing over the
management to the new bank.
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 point of his entry into the Republic
of senegal. The amount in this account is USD$26
Million ( Twenty six 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 you
immediately, if you are interested to do this business
with me.
There is no risk to 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 Six million
[$6,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we
shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining
balance of $20 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 to 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.
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%
for you, 5% for any expenses incurred in this business and the remaining 60% 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 to
process the transfer of the fund to your
account without further delay.
Contact me urgently for further detail.
Thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
DR,Hassan Aliou.
