(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 20,000.000.00 USD} TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS
ATTENTION
My Dear
We want to transfer to overseas account($20,000.000.00 USD) twenty million
United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Africa, I want to ask you to
quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit
to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank a/c
immediately to receive this money,even an empty a/c can serve to receive
this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for this
important business trusting in you and believing in God that you will never
let me down either now or in future.
I am MR.JAMES KHOZA,the Auditor General of one of the prime banks here in
South Africa, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund
in an account opened in the bank in 1997 and since 2000 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. Gordon G. Scott, a foreigner, and an
industrialist, and he died, since 2000. 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
Gordon G. Scott until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. SA. We
will start the first transfer with five million [$5,000.000] 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 20 M) twenty 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.
Gordon G. Scott 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 got your contact address from the Girl who operates my computer, I am
revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in
this business,you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for
this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the
next step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax number
including the full details ofthe 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 25% of the total amount, 70% will be for me,
while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the
process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address.
Yours truly
MR JAMES KHOZA.
