Subject: SOLICITING FOR BUSINESS VENTURE
From: Mr. Richard Khumalo
Telephone: +27-73-2749302
Dear,sir/madam
I am Mr. Richard Khumalo, The Chief Account Auditor Of ABSA Bank in
Johannesburg, South Africa .I got your contact address from your Country
Trade Journal. You are the only person that I have contacted in this
business with my believe that you will not let me down in this business.
After going through some old files in the records department, I discovered
an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 no body has operated
on this account again, the owner of this account is late Mr. Smith B.
Andreas, a foreigner and a miner at Kruger Gold Company, as geologist by
profession and he died since 1990. Up till now, no other person knows about
this account, and the amount involved is US$14 Million (Fourteen Million
United State Dollars).
I want to first transfer US$7 Million (Seven Million United State dollars)
from the fund into a foreign safe account abroad before transferring the
rest, but I have not gotten a trusted foreigner. I am contacting you as a
foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank in South
Africa, but can be approved by any foreign account because the money is in
US dollars and former owner of the account is Mr. Andreas who is a foreigner
and because of the need to involve a foreign account, I need your full
co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to
approve the payment to whoever that has the correct information to this
account, of Which I will give you as we move on, if you are able to handle
such amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and
advice for our mutual benefits because this opportunity will never come
again in my life. I need a trustworthy person in this business because I
don't want to make a mistake and I need your strong assurance, trust and
reliability.
With my position now in the office, I will make sure that this money is
transferred into any reliable account, which you can provide with the
assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your
country for my sharing. I will destroy all Documents of transaction
immediately you receive this money, leaving no trace in any place. You can
also come to discuss with me face to face then remittance will be made in
the presence of both of us. Then we will fly to your country at least two
days ahead of the Money going into the account.
I have the tendency to invest my own share of the money in your country in
expectation to a sound management and good capital returns according to your
advice. Be sure you are standing no risk of any kind as the fund belongs to
us now. Therefore, after the Eventual stage of the transfer of this fund, I
am offering you 30% of the total fund, 70% will be for me and I strongly
believe that associating with you to embark on this fund transfer and other
business ventures will derive a huge success there after. I will use my
position and influence of my friend, the Chief Director in South African
Reserve Bank to effect approvals for onward transfer of this money to your
Account with appropriate clearance form from the Ministries and Foreign
Exchange Department. I am counting on your sense of confidentiality, as it
Desire that you keep this to yourself.
Looking forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards
Mr. Richard Khumalo.
