There is an account opened in this bank since 1980 and since 1995 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through
some old files in the records, i discovered that if i don't remmitt this money out urgently it would be forfieted for nothing.The owner of this account is Mr.Smith .B. Andreas, a foreigner and a miner at Kruger Gold Co-operation, a geologist by profession and
he died since 1994. 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 the company does not know anything
about this account and the amount involved is USD$12.500.000.00(Twelve Million Five hundred thousand United States Dollars).I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here,but can only be approved to any
foreign account because the money is in United States Dollars and the former owner of the account Mr. Smith .B.Andreas is a foreigner too.This business is real and 100% safe, Please reply urgently so that i will inform you the next step to take immediately.
