After going through some old files. I discovered it, and if I don’t remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited. The owner of this account is Mr. Gillian Zouf [Engr.], a foreigner and a mining engineer at Kruger Gold Company, who died since 2000.
Through the investigation carried out in search of it’s next of kin, no one was found to be his relative as indicated in his file with me the company he was working with before his death has no idea about this money and it has no beneficiary.
The said amount is US$25million (Twenty-Five Million United State Dollars) and I want to transfer this money into overseas bank account for safety purpose. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, if not a foreign account because its’ beneficiary origin, and Mr. Gillian Zouf [Engr.] is a foreigner.

Please send to me your private telephone and fax number including your bank details overseas so that transaction will commence.
