Attn,
RE: TRANSFER OF US$48,223,000. 00
(Forty Eight Million Two Hundred and Twenty Three Thousand United States Dollar).
My name is Dr. Jeremiah Miller; I work as the operational manager in Account Management Section in charge of credit and foreign bills of one f the prime banks here in South Africa.
I earnestly need your cooperation in transferring the aforementioned fund out of a dormant account in our bank to any foreign account, which you will nominate.
In this regards, it is my wish to split this transfer into two [2] phases, to see your capablity, as I didn't know you before. At first, I will transfer the sum of $20 Million (Twenty Million United State Dollars Only).
Upon a successful transfer without any disappointment from you, I will travel to meet you face to face in your country for sharing and investment. Subsequently, we will apply for the release of the remaining balance of the fund to the same account ok.
As soon as I confirm your willingness to act as the foreign beneficiary of this fund, I will use my position in the bank/my connection with the General Bank Manager-[whom I must involve], to provide you all the necessary data needed for a smooth and urgent transfer of this fund to any foreign a/c of your choice.
At the conclusion of this transaction, I will offer you 25% of the total transfer sum, 70% for me and my partner (Bank Manager), while 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties might expend during the process of the transfer.
You should also provide me with your direct phone and fax lines for easy and safety communication.
I wait to hear you soon.
Dr. Jeremiah Miller
