ATTN:DIRECTOR/CEO
I am Mr. williams khumalo the chief auditor of ABSA bank South Africa.I got your contact address from my search on the internet. Your impressive and managerial records made me to solicit for your partnership in these regards. You are the only person that I have contacted in this business with the believe that you will not let me down. After going through some old files in the records department,
I discovered that there is an account opened in this bank in 1982 and since 1992, no body has operated on this account. The owner ofthis account is late Mr. Jerom. N Snaga, a foreignerand a miner at the Anglo Gold Platinum Mining Company in Mafikeng, as a geologist by profession and he died since 1992. Up till now, no other person knows about this account or anything concerning it,
the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is US$15,000,000.00 (Fifteen Million United States Dollars)and I want to transfer the US$15 to a safe foreign account abroad. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to any foreign account because the moneyis in US dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Snaga was a foreigner and because of the need toinvolve a foreign account, I need your full co-peration to make this work smoothly because the management is ready to approvethis payment to whoever that has correct information to this account. Of which I will give to you later, if you are able to handle such amount in strictconfidence and trust according to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefits because this opportunity will never come again in my life.I need your strong
assurance reliability. With my position now in the office,
I can transfer thismoney to any reliable account, which you can provid with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money, leaving no trace of any.You can also come to discuss with me face-to-face then the remittance will be made in the presence of both of us. Then we will fly to your country at least two days ahead before money gets into your account.
I have the tendency to invest my own share of the money in your country in expectation to sound management and good capital returns according to your advice. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kindas the fund belongs to us now. Therefore,after the eventual stage of the transfer of this fund, I am offering you 25% of the total fund, 70% will be for me while 5% will be set aside for expenses thatmight incur during the course of this transaction OR you can call me to discuss of the percentage if this did not go well with you.
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this fund, otherbusiness ventures will derive a huge success thereafter. I will use my position to influence to effect approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries and foreign exchange department. I am counting on your sense of confidentiality, as it is my desire to keep this to yourself.Looking forward to your urgent response.
You may contact me on my direct mobile: +27-73 996 4449
Best Regards,
williams khumalo
