(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLAR
ATTENTION: CEO,
Dear Sir,
I am Mr. Mccarthy Benedict. the Auditor General of one of the prime
banks here South Africa, during the course of our auditing,I discovered a
floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1995 and since 1998 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 1996. 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].S.A.
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 abinding agreement, to bind us together.I am
revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in
this business. 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 20% of the total
amount, 70% will be for me, while 8% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred during the process of transferring, while 2% for charity, as a
mark of God's gratitude for the blessing.
Please,I look forward to your earliest reply through this my private
