Dear,
(CONFIDENTCIAL)
I know that This letter might surprise you because,we have
not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I
believe it is one day that you get to know somebody either
in physical or through correspondence.
How ever My name is Dr.Wilfred Mbella,I want to transfer
25,000.000.00 USD) Twenty five million United States Dollars
from a Prime Bank here in South Africa to an oversea
account.First,I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction. This is by virtue of it's nature as being
utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence of your
ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this
great magnitude.I solicit your assistance to enable us
transfer the said amount into your safe account for unward
investment.
You can either provide us with an existing account or to set
up a new Bank account 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 of this
important business trusting in you and believing that you
will never let me down either now or in future. I am the
personal account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who
has an account in one of the top banks here in South Africa.
The account was opened in 1998 and he died in 2003 without a
written or oral WILL and since 2003 nobody has operated on
this account again hence 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 a foreigner and no other person
knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and until his death he was
the manager of the company.My investigation through the
National immigration department proved to me as well that he
was single as at the time of his entry into the Republic of
South Africa. The amount in this account is USD$25 Million
(Twenty five Million United States Dollars ) only. As a
matter of fact, I have decided to transfer this fund abroad
for investment. Your assistance as a foreigner is necessary
because the management of the bank will welcome any
foreigner who has correct information to this account which
I will give to you immediately, if you are interested to do
this business with me.There is no risk in this business.
With my position and my personal contact with the manager of
the bank, the money can be transferred to any account you
can provide with assurance that this money will be intact
pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. I
am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can
not be approved to a local person here, but can only be
approved to any foreigner who has the correct information of
the account which I will provide for you. So you should
provide me with your correct account detail where you will
like the fund to be transferred or you can set up a new
account for the transfer even an empty account is ok.
The A/C Details have to be arranged as follows,
BANK NAME:............
BANK ADDRESSE:........
BANK A/ NO:...........
BENEFICIARY NAME:.....
A/C ROUTING NO/SWIFT CODE:.
AND YOUR PRIVTAE TELEPHONE NO:
At the conclussion of the transfer you will take 35%,5% will
be for any expenses both parties incurred in the process of
this business and the remaining 60% will be for me. As soon
as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance that you
will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I
will then start the processing of the transfer of the fund
to your account without further delay.
Yours faithfull
Dr.Wilfred Mbella.
