Subject: VERY IMPORTANT
From Dr. Ato Adolph.
(Re: Transfer of $26,000,000.00)
(Twenty Six Million USD)
Hello,
I am Dr.Ato adolph, the Auditor General of prime banks here South Africa,
during the course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an
account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on
this account again.After going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the
money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will
beforfeited for nothing.
The owner of this account is Mr. Loannard Howell, a foreigner, a miner and
an industrialist.He made millions of dollars before he died isteriously
.Since 1993 no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning
it.
My investigation proved to me that the account has no other beneficiary and
that Mr.Loannard Howell until his death was the manager Howell Coy.(pty).
SA. We will start the first transfer with six million dollars
[$6,000,000.00] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your
side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your
account.
The amount involved is (USD $26M) Twenty six million United States Dollars
only. I want to first transfer $6,000.000 [Six 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 revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me
down in this business. Also send your private telephone number and fax
number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I need your strong assurance that you will never let me down in this
business proposition. With my influence and the position of a bank official
whom is working in our favour 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 to face after which I will make
this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the account.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total
amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring.
I am waiting for your reply.
Best Regards,
Dr.Ato Adolph.
