Subject: REPLY
*FROM DR.KELSI MBEKI*
*PHONE +27 790 514 464*
*FAX +27 866 636 389*
*EMAIL: kelsimbeki@gawab.com*

*ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO*
* *
*I am Dr. Kelsi Mbeki, the account officer of a reputable bank in South
Africa. There is an account open in this bank in 2002 and since 2004 and
nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old
files in the records, I discovered that if I do not remit this money out
urgently it would be forfeited for nothing. *
* *
*The owner of this account is Mr. Morris Thompson, a foreigner, Business Man
and a miner at Kruger Gold Company, a Geologist by profession and he died
since 2003.No other person knows this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that this company does not know anything about this account and the money
involved is One hundred and Thirty Six Million United States Dollars (US$
136 Million). *
* *
*I want us to first transfer US$ 36 Million from this money into your safe
overseas account before the rest. I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be
approved to any foreign account because the money is in United States
Dollars and the former owner Mr. Morris Thompson is a foreigner too. I know
that this message will come to you as surprise as we don't know ourselves
before. We will sign an agreement, but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business. You can view the web site bellow for more information on our late
client.http://archives.cnn.com/2003/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ *
* *
*I only got your contact information from my secretary who operates
computer; with believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business, considering my position as a public servant. You are the only
person that I have contacted in this business; so please reply urgently so
that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. *
* *
*Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details
of your account to be used for the deposit. I want us to meet face-to-face
and sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive
this money into your account where the fund will be safe. And I will fly to
your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investment. *
* *
*Meanwhile, I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner
with foreign account and foreign beneficiary. 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 as soon as you indicate your sincerity to co-operate with
me, and capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefit because this
opportunity may never come again in my life. I need a truthful and God
fearing person in this business because I don't want to make a mistake so I
need your strong assurance and trust. *
* *
*With my position in the office I don't want anything that will jeopardize
my job so I advice that we should make secrecy and confidentiality our
primary working condition, bearing in mind that I am a public servant. I
will also use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward
transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of
the ministries and foreign exchange department. *
* *
*At the conclusion of this business, you will be giving 25% of the total
amount, 70% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might
have incurred the process of the transfer. I look forward to your earliest
reply through my alternative email address: kelsimbeki@gawab.com*

*Yours sincerely,*

*Dr.Kelsi Mbeki*
