3/5 RIDER HAGGARD
CLOSE, JO, BORTO:
SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTENTION:
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLAR
I am contacting you in view of the fact we will be of Great
assistance to
each other,like developing a cordial business relationship.
I am Mr.James
George. the Auditor General of one of the prime bankshere
South Africa,
during the course of our auditing,I discovered a
floatingfund 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 an
industrialist, 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 30% of
the total
amount, 60% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses
both parties might
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,
Best Regards,
Mr.James George
