South Africa.
Dear Sir or Madam,
( RE: TRANSFER OF ($125,000.000.00 USD) ONE HUNDRED &
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS)
I want to transfer ($125,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred &
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$125 Million (One
Hundred & 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 youare interested to do this business
with me.There is no risk in this business.
The informations will be as follows
Bank Name:
Bank Address:
A/C Name:
A/C Number:
Swift Code:
Your Telephone:
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.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty five
million [$25,000.000] Upon successful transfer without
any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply
for the payment of the remaining balance of $100
Million to your account. 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. 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.
Contact me urgently via email for further details.
Thank's for your maximum co-operation and remain
blessed.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.John William,
