ATTN:
Good day! My name is Mr. Robert Savimbi, the Operation Manager of Amalgamated
bank of South Africa (ABSA), there is an account opened in this bank in 1999
and since 2001 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through
some old files in the records, I discovered the owner of the account died
during the September 11th Terrorist attack in the World Trade Center, Since
then I have made several personal inquiries from the embassy to locate any of
my late client extended relatives, but this has also proved unsuccessful if I
do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited.
The owner of this account is Mr. Smith White, a foreigner of United States of
America and a Miner at Kruger Gold Company. A Geologist by profession died in
2001. No one knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account
has no other beneficiary and the investigation proves to me as well that his
company does not know anything about this account and the amount in the
account at the moment is US$23,100.000.00 (Twenty Three Million, One Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars).
As the money is in United States dollars, I need a foreign partner/ account to
transfer the money overseas this I am contacting you. Please kindly indicate
and if so contact me on the above email address to enable me inform you on
next step to take.
I need your full co-operation to make this transaction work because the
management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct
information on this account, which I will give you if you indicate your
interest. I hope you can be able to handle such amount in strict confidence
because this opportunity will never come again in my life. I need truthful
person in this business relationship because I don’t want to make any mistake.
I need your strong assurance and confidentiality.
With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any reliable
foreign account, with assurance that this money will be intact pending my
physical arrival in your country for sharing. All documents regarding this
transaction will be destroyed once I receive confirmation of the money in your
account thus leaving no trace to anything. I will apply for annual leave to
get visa immediately on confirmation to receive this fund into your account
with appropriate clearance forms from the Ministries and Foreign Exchange
Department.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 25% of the total amount,
70% will be for me and the remaining 5% will be set aside for expenses
incurred by both parties. For the confidentiality of this transaction, kindly
contact me on the above e-mail address for more clarification.
Best regards,
Mr. Robert Savimbi.
