Dear Sir or Madam,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 152,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and Fifty
two million United States Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want to ask you
to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and
fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank
a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end for
this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr. Boris Carrick, the Auditor General of a bank in South Africa,
during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an
account opened in the bank in 1998 and since 2000 nobody has operated on
this account again, after going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the owner of the account perished with his whole families on
25TH JULY,2000 CONCORDE PLANE CRASH [ Flight AF459]with the whole
passengers aboard 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.
ANDREAS SCHRANNER , a foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 2000. 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 Mr. ANDREAS SCHRANNER until his death was the manager of SCHRANNER
Coy.(pty).SA.
We will start the first transfer with fifty two million [$52,000.000] 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 152M) One hundred and Fifty two million United
States Dollars, only I want to first transfer $52,000.000 [fifty two 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. ANDREAS SCHRANNER 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 got your

you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this
business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently. 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

of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money going
into the account.
