Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM Mr. C.E Luck

FNB BANK LTD.
JOHANBNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
DEAR SIR/MADAM.
I know that this business proposal will come to you as surprise since we
don’t know each other before but that doesn't mean that you will not be of
a great help to me, but first let me introduce myself, I am Mr. C.E Luck ,
the CHIEF AUDITOR OF( FNB)) SOUTH AFRICA.
There is an account opened in this bank in 1996 and since 2002 nobody has
operated on this account again but all this came to light after an internal
auditing that I conducted by going through some old files in the records, I
discovered that if I do not remit this money out immediately it would be
forfeited for no reason.
Therefor the owner of this account is Late Mr.Jonas M.Savimbi The formal
UNITA(ANGOLA) Rebels leader. and he died since 2001. 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 this company does
not know anything about this account and the amount involved is US$ 29,000
000:00.(TWENTY NINE MILLION US DOLLARS ONLY)
I am only contacting you as a foreigner partner because this money can not
be approved to a local
bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money
is in US Dollars.

business. Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to
take immediately. Send also your private telephone number and fax number
including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face in other sign a binding agreement together
that will guard both parties. I am assuring you that everything regarding
this transfer is 100% free risk.I need your strong assurance and trust. With
my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any
foreignreliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this
money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for
sharing.
I will use my position and influence to effect the legal approvals and
onward transfer of this money
to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion of this business, please i
want to get all this information from you.
(1)What is the bank taxation where this fund is going.
(2)How many of you are involved in this project.
(3)What is your current position in the establishment or company where your

(4)I would like you to give me an insight of investing in your country by a

start the transfer without any delay.
