3/5 RIDER HAGGARD
CLOSE, JO, BORG:
SOUTH AFRICA.
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD)
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS
ATTENTION:
Though, this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I
choose to reach you through it because it still remains the
fastest medium of communication. However, this
correspondence is unofficial and private, and it should be
treated as such.
I am Mr. Peter Clark. the Auditor General of one of the
prime banks here South Africa, during the course of our
auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened
in the bank in 1995 and since 1998 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 anindustrialist, and he died, since 1996. 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]. S.A.We will
start the first transfer with twenty six million
[$26,000.000] 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 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million
United States Dollars only. I want to first transfer
$26,000.000 [Twenty six 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. However, we
will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together.
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will
never let me down in this business. Send also your private
telephone and fax number including the full details of the
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 20% of
the totalamount, 70% will be for me, while 8% will be for
expenses both partiesmight have incurred during the process
of transferring, while 2% for charity, as a mark of God's
gratitude for the blessing.
I look forward to your earliest reply.
Regards,
Mr.Peter Clark.
