I am Dr.Mark Chuks, the Auditor General of a bank in
Africa, during the course of our auditing I discovered
a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in
1995 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this
account again, after going through some old files in
the records I discovered that the owner of the account
died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and
if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing. the owner of this account is
Mr. Frankline Sullivan, a foreigner, and a sailor, and
he died, since 1998. and no other person knows about
this account or any thing concerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved
to me as well that Frankline Sullivan until his death
was the manager Sulliv Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty six
million [$26,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall
re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account.

Twenty Six million United States Dollars, only I want
to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty Six million
United States Dollar from this money into a safe
foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't
know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be approved to a
local person here, without valid international foreign
passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner
with valid international passport or drivers license
and foreign a/c because the money is in us dollars and
the former owner of the a/c Mr. Frankline Sullivan is
a foreigner too, [and the money can only be approved
into a foreign a/c.

payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you, upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are
