Dear,
We want to transfer to overseas account ($ 126,000.000.00 USD) One hundred
and twenty six million United States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in Nigeria,
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 asyou 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 Barrister Ibrahim Usman,the Auditor General of one of the prime banks
here Nigeria, 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 be
forfeited for nothing. The owner of this account is Mr. Allan P.Seaman, a
foreigner, and an industrialist, and he died, since 1993. 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 Allan P.
Seaman until his death was the manager Diamond Safari [pty]. SA.
We will start the first transfer with twenty six million [$26,000.000] 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 126 M) One hundred and twenty six million United
States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty 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 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. Allan P. Seaman 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
contact address from the Girl who operates my computer, I am revealing this
to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business,
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 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.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that
you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my
position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of
this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant
ministries and foreign exchange departments.
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 look forward to your earliest reply through my email

Yours truly
Barr Ibrahim Usman
