(STANDARD BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA)
JOHANNES BURG BRANCH(SBG). There is an account opened
in this bank in 1985 and since 1995 nobody has
operated on this account again. After going through
some old files in the records I discovered that if I
do not remit this money out urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing according to Souh Africa laws
and act of 1993,the money willbe revert this country
government treasury after 15 years if there is no
valid claim. I need a foreign partner that will
present as arelative to this late man. I concluded to
transfer this money overeas for proper investment that
will benefit me.The owner of this account is Mr.
Daniel B.Jones, a foreigner,and a Miner at Kruger Gold
Co.a geologist by profession and he died since 1995.
No other person knows about this account or any thing
concening 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$34,000,000 Thirty Four
million dollars. I am only contacting you as
aforeigner because this money can not be approved to a
local bank here, but can only be approved to any
foreign account because the money is in US dollars and
the former owner of the account is Mr. Daniel B.
Jones,who is a foreigner too. I know thatthis message
will come to you as a surprise as we don't know
ourselves before,we will sign agreement, but be sure
that it is real. I only got your contact address from
my secretary during a normal routine search, i believe
in God that you will never let me down in this
business, you are the only person that I have
contacted in this business, so please reply urgently
so that I will inform you the next step to take
urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax
number. I want us to met face to face or sign a
binding agreement to bind us together so that you can
receive this money into a foreign account or any
account of your choice where the fund will be safe. I
am contacting you because of the need to involve a
foreigner withforeign account and foreign beneficiary.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine.
because the management is ready to approve this
payment to any foreigner who has correct information
of this account, which I will give to you later
