Dear Sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 126,000.000.00 USD)
One hundred and Twenty six million United States
Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you to
quietly look for a reliable and honest person who

receive this money, as long as you will remain honest
to me till the end for this important business
trusting in you and believing in God that you will
never let me down either now or in future.
I am Stephen Pablo,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.The amount involved is (USD 126M) One
hundred and 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.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us
together I got your contact address from my secretary
who operates computer, I am revealing this to you with

face to build confidence and to sign a binding
agreement that will bind us together before
transferring the money to any account of your choice
where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your
country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.
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, upon your
positive response and once I am convinced that you are
capable and will meet up with instruction of a key
bank official who is deeply involved with me in this
business.
