Subject: TRANSFER
Good Day,
Re:Transfer of $15,400,000 USD.
My name is Daniel Ujar, Director for accounts and transfer,Firstrand Bank
South Africa.
I wish to transfer the sum of $15,400,000(Fifteen million four hundred
thousand USD)In to any foreign account.I will be glad if you can provide
your account for the transfer of this huge amount.
The above stated fund belongs to a dead brethren.Before his death he said
that it should be
donated to the poor and needy,but such money cannot be transfered into a
local account thats why i decided to contact my fellow men of God to assist
me with a foreign account. I will like to see this money donated to the poor
as my friend instructed before his death.please help
before the bank confiscates the money.
The modalities for the transfer will be discussed on my reciept of your
response to this mail indicating
your intrest to facilitate the transfer.
Anticipating on your co-orperation.
Yours truly,
Dr. Daniel Ujar.
