RE: TRANSFER OF USD126,000,000. 00
I am quite Sure that this mail Will come to you as a surprise Since I have
not been having previous correspondences with you.
First, let me start by introducing myself as MR.IKEDI MORRIS, who is working
in account management section incharge of credit and foreign bills in a
prime bank here in South Africa. I discovered a dormant domiciliary account
with Balance Of USD126,000,000.00 (One Hundred and Twenty Six Million USD).
On further investigation, I found that the account holder died with his
family on a fatal road accident. The account has no beneficiary and no other
person knows about this account.
I am in close contact with the bank manager here who is my partner and is
willing to approve the transfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner
with foreign bank account because the former owner of the a/c is a
foreigner.
Theaccount has no writen or oral WILL attached to it. I will provide the
necessary information and documents needed in order to claim this money if
you agree to receive this fund in your account pending my arrival in your
country for sharing and on receipt of your Bank Account Details where the
fund will be transferred.
We will start with TWENTY SIX MILLION. At the end, 70% will be for me, 25%
for you and 5% will be set aside for expenses incurred on both sides during
the transfer. There is no risk involved as every arrangement has been
perfected. We are affected by South African Civil Service Code of Conduct
Laws that prohibits Civil Servants from operating Private Foreign Accounts.
Your cooperation is highly needed.
Yours Faithfully,
IKEDI MORRIS
