ATTN:
Good day! My name is Mr. Victor Kamala, 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 thus I am contacting you. Please
kindly indicate and if so contact me on the above phone numbers 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. Victor Kamala.
