{TRANSFER}
{THIRTY SIX MILLION USD}
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 36,000,000.USD}
I AM DR.MANDELA ZUMA ,and I work in the international operation department
in a Local Bank here in South Africa On a routine inspection ,I discovered
a dormant domiciliary account with a BAL Of 36,000,000 (Thirty Six Million
USD) on further discreet investigation I also discovered that the account
holder has long since passed away (dead)leaving no beneficiary to the
account.
Now the secret is that the bank will approve this money to any foreigner
because the former operator of the a/c is a foreigner and from Iraq in
particular and I am certainly sure that he is dead and nobody will come again for the claim of this money.Only a foreigner can claim this money with legal
claims to the account Holder, that is the reason why I decided to contact you
because if i fail to move out this fund out from our bank,the unscruplous top
officials will divert it for their selfish use and i will be left empty handed thats why i so much need your cooperation in this transaction.
I will provide you with the necessary information \all the legal documents
needed in other to claim this money, But only what you will be required
to do is to open an account where this can be transferred urgently even
an empty a\c,is still ok!.So if you are interested \capable,then send
me your private Telephone No And Fax number immediately so that i can call
you for more details.Send to me any account number you would like us to
use to make this transfer.
I want you to keep this transaction confidential because i wouldn't like to experience any third party involvement for security reasons because You doesn't know {WHO LOVE YOUR PROGRESS}.
State your details like these
Bank Name\Address.........
A/C Name.............
A/C Number.\Even an empty a\c is still ok!.......
Swift Code No..............
Routing Number................
And i am assuring you that this transaction is risk free now and in
future. And moreover we are following the normal legal transfer process that will free us from any breach of the law.Finally a 25% of the total fund will be given to you for your steadfast corporation.
I look forward to a favorable response from you as soon as possible.Thank's
for your maximum co-operation and remain blessed.
Best Regards,
DR.MANDELA ZUMA
