SOUTH AFRICA.
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
ATTENTION:
Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly 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.
I am Mr. Samara Jeffery. the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here
South 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. Allan P.Seaman, a foreigner, and
anindustrialist, and he died, since 1996. 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 Allan P.Seaman
until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. S.A.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 126 M) 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. Allan P.
Seaman 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 am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me
down in this business. Send also your private telephone and fax number
including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to 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.
I need your strong assurance that you will never,never let me down.With my
influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money
to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country
for sharing.
The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we
receive this money leaving no trace to any place and to build confidence you
can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make
this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that
you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my
position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of
this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 20% of the
totalamount, 70% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses both
partiesmight have incurred during the process of transferring, while 2% for
charity, as a mark of God's gratitude for the blessing.
I look forward to your earliest reply.

Mr.Samara Jeffery.
