- Good day,I know that this message will come as a surprise to you, hence we do not know each other, but for the purpose of introduction, I am Mr.solomon Akpan, the Chief Auditor of African Development Bank (ADB). There is an account that was opened here in 1990 and since 2008; nobody has operated on this account. After going through some old files in the record, I discoveredthat if I do not remove this money out urgently, it would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this money is Mr. Karl Heinze Waraf, a foreigner and aminer at Kruger Gold Company,a Geologist by profession.He died in 2001 and there are no other beneficiaries.My investigation has proved to me that his company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved US$4.6 million, I am only contacting you as a foreigner, because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here.It can only be approved in any foreign account because the money is in US Dollars. The former owner (Mr. Karl Heinze Waraf) is a foreigner too. I acknowledge the fact that this is a big surprise to you, especially because we do not know each other, but be sure that this is a REAL and GENUINE business. We will meet and sign a mutual agreement. Please respond urgently so that I will inform you of the next step to take immediately,and send your full details of the account to be used for the deposit. I would like us to meet face to face so we can sign the binding agreement so that you can receive this money into your foreign account and as a foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work excellently, because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who provides the correct information of this account of which I shall provide them to you later when you show your commitment. Immediately, after you have showed your interest and capability to handle such amount of money, you will follow my instructions and advice for our mutual and honest business transaction, because I do not want to make any mistakes at all. I need your strong assurance and trust, 65% for us and 30% is for you, why 5% is for the expenses that could be incurred throughout the course of this transaction. I look forward to your earliest response through my E-mail,Thank you for your time.Mr.solomon Akpan
