Dear Beloved
,
I have picked-up the trust and courage to write you this letter with divine
confidence that you are a reliable and honest person who will be capable for
this important business transaction believing also that you will never let
me down either now or in the future.
My name is MR. SIFISO MDODA a senior Auditing Officer with the ABSA Bank in
South Africa.There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1996
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 would be forfeited to the government as dormant account.
The owner of this account is Mr. Tarry Fritz, a foreigner, he was a miner
at Kruger Gold Company, a geologist by profession, and he died since 1996 in
a plane crash. No other person knows about this account or anything
concerning 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$12million) Twelve million United
States Dollars.
I want to transfer this sum of Twelve million United States Dollars into a
safe foreign account abroad. I am contacting you based on the fact that you
are a foreigner because this money can only be approved for payment to a
foreigner.
I know that this proposal will come to you as a surprise as we don't know
ourselves before. However I got your contact from a trade consultant here in
South Africa, though I did not disclose the purpose of my seeking for a
foreign business partner to him.
Although we will still have to meet to sign some agreement before the final
transfer of the fund into any of your designated bank account. I have
involved a very senior official in the operational department, and we have
agreed that after the transfer of the money into your account, you shall be
entitled to 30% of the total sum, my colleagues and I will have 60% while
10% will be used to reimburse any expenses incurred.
All necessary precautions have been taken to ensure a risk free situation on
the side of both parties.
Please note that this deal can only take place on the following
conditions;
1. You will provide the bank account and other relevant
particulars/information for easy and onward Remittance of the Twelve million
USD.
2. Absolute confidentiality and sincerity will be required and guaranteed,
considering our positions in the bank.
3. Assurance that our own share will be released to us in good faith when
this money finally gets into your account.
All things being equal, this transaction will be within 10 working days as
soon as we hear from you.
Please treat with utmost confidentiality.Due to security porposes, i will
advise you Contact me as quickly as possible through this email address.
Expecting your urgent response,
Yours faithfully,
MR. SIFISO MDODA
