Subject: GOOD DAY
Good Day,
In order to transfer out $26,000,000.00 Million USD (Twenty -Six Million United States Dollars) from our bank. I have the courage to look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable for this important business believing that you will never let me down
either now or in future.
I am Dr. okeke martin the Operation Manager of United Bank for Africa Plc (U.B.A). There is an account opened in this bank in 1985 and since 1995 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records i discovered that if i do not remitt this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Clayton Riedfield and the manager of Granite Minning Nig, an Engineer by profession and he died since 1995 no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proves to me as well that his company does not know anything about this account and the amount invloved is (u.s. $26,000,000.00).
I want to transfer this money into a safe foreign account abroad but i don't know any foreigner, i am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to any local bank here but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in U.S Dollars and the former owner of the account is Mr. Clayton Riedfield and he was a foreigner too.

with the believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the only person that i have contacted for this business for now so please reply urgently.
When the transfer is approved and payment schedule is allocated overseas, through the offshore payment center for final clearance and signing of the final payment release order form by the beneficiary, i want us to see at the oversea paying clearance office face to face for signing of the original binding agreement to bind us together so that we can receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be remitted.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with a foreign account as the real beneficiary. I need your co-operation to make this work fine, because the management of my bank is ready
to approve this payment to any foreigner who has the correct information to this account, which i will give to you when sure of your capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust, according to my instructions and my advice for our mutual benefit because i don't want to make any mistake.
I need your strong assurance and trust and i shall destroyed all document concerning to this transactions immediately we received this money living no trace to any place.
I will use my position and influence on other staffs to effect the legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from foreign payment department with assurance that this money will intact pending my physical arrival in
your country for the sharing and other investment.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 25% out of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 10% will be for expenses , both parties might have incurred during the process of this transaction. I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours Truly,
