Dear sir,
i want to transfer to overseas ($ 30,000.000.00 USD)

I am Mr,FRED JOHNSON the Auditor General of First National Bank
in South Africa Johannesburg, during the course of our auditing I
discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1990 and since 1993 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 1993. 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]. SA.
The amount involved is (USD 30M) Thirty
million United States dollars, only I want
to first transfer $30,000.000 [ Thirty 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

together I got your contact address from the Girl

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.

this work fine. because the management is ready to
