Attn,



RE: TRANSFER OF US$168.559 MILLION TO YOUR ACCOUNT

ONLY.



I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important

business. Though, this medium (Internet) has been

reatly abused, I choose to reach you through it

because it still remains the fastest medium of

communication. However, this correspondence is

unofficial and private, and it should be treated as

such.



At first I will like to assure you that this

transaction is 100% risk and trouble free to both

parties.



My name is Mr Ematah George,I work as the operational

manager in account management section in charge of

credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks

here in South Africa. On a routine inspection I

discovered a dormant domiciliary account with a

Balance of US$168,559,000. 00 (One hundred and sixty

eight million five hundred and fifty nine thousand U.S

dollars only}. The account holder[The deceased] was

believed to be incharge of the Former Iraqi President,

Saddam Hussein secret CRUDE OIL transactions in Africa

before his death. On further discreet investigation, I

also discovered that the account holder has died long

ago with his family on a fatal Auto-accident leaving

no beneficiary to the account and no other person

knows about this account.



I am in close contact with the manager of the bank

here who is my partner and he is willing to approve

the ransfer to any reliable and trustworthy foreigner

with foreign bank account because the former operator

of the a/c is a foreigner. I am certainly sure that he

has no writen or oral WILL attached to the account ,

no beneficiary and nobody will come again for the

claim of this money. It is only a foreigner who can

claim this money with legal claims to the account

holder which I will provide to you if you are

interested, therefore I need your cooperation in this

transaction. This money will remain useless in this

dormant account if I did not transfer the fund out to

a foreign account.



I will provide the necessary information and documents

needed in order to claim this money. I only need your

cooperation as a foreigner to provide your safe bank

account information for the transfer. All arrangement

that will ensure a smooth transfer of the fund to the

account which you are to nominate is already in



place.You should provide me with your correct account

information for the transfer and your direct cell

phone lines for easy communication. I wish for utmost

confidentiality in handling this transaction.



At the conclussion of this transaction, your share

will be 15% of the total transfer sum, 80% for me and

my partner while 5% will be set aside for any expenses

both parties might incure during the process of the

transfer. The fund will be transferred to your account

in two parts. I will first transfer USD 38 Million to



your account as a test transfer. I will fly over to

meet you after the successful transfer for sharing

according to the agreed percentages. I will have the

remaining balance of USD130,559 Million transferred to

your account only after the successful sharing of the

first transfer without any disappointment from your

side.



Let me hear from you URGENTLY by Email me.

With (is_eesy@yahoo.com).

You can also fax or call me for more detail.



Best Regards,



Mr Ematah George
