Re: Transfer of ($10,400.000.00) Ten Million Four Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars.
We want to transfer to abroad ($10,400.000.00 USD). Ten Million Four Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars from a Security Company, Servetrust Finance
Inc., Liverpool,England. I want to quietly look for a reliable and honest
person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank
account or set up a new bank account immediately to receive this money, even
an empty account can serve as long as you will remain honest to me till the
end of this important business transaction. I want to believe that you will
never let me down either now or in the future.
I am Mr Yusuf Ugo the auditor general, Servetrust and Finance
Inc.,Liverpool,England. During the course of our auditing, I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the security company in 1999 and since
2001 nobody has opperated 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 has been floating and if I do not remit
this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this
account was Mr. Manfred Schichegger, a foreigner, and an industrialist, he
died since 2001 and no other person knows about this account or anything
concerning it. The account has no beneficiary and my investigation proved to
me as well that Manfred Schichegger until his death was the Managing
Director, Dobrava Mbh $ Co.
We will start the first transfer with Six million united states dollars
($6,000.000.00), upon successful transfer without any disappointment from
your side, we shall re-apply for the transfer of the remaining Four million
four hundred thousand united states dollars ($4,400.000.00) into your
account bringing the total sum Ten million four hundred thousand united
states dollars ($6,400.000.00). I am contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a valid international
passport, driver’s license and foreign account because the money is in US
dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Manfred Schichegger is a
foreigner.
I will like us to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together in the
business, I am revealing all these to you with belief that you will never
let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person I am
contacting for the business so please reply urgently for me to tell you the
next step to take.
You should forward your telephone and fax numbers and your bank account
details that will be used in transferring the money. You will have to give
me the assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival
in your country for sharing and disbursement of the fund.I look forward to
your earliest response.
Best regards,
Mr Yusuf Ugo
