Subject: Hi.........
(RE: TRANSFER OF (52,000,000) (Fifty Two Million British Pounds)
I want to transfer (£ 52,000,000) Fifty Two Million British Pounds from a Prime Bank here in London to an oversea account.
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction.
This is by virtue of its 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 upward 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 Account 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 London.
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 need to move out this money arose when the Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that some of the money held in dormant accounts would be used to fund youth and community projects for your confirmation.
Below is the website where you will find it.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/4017381.stm 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 Britain.
The amount in this account is (52,000,000) (Fifty Two Million British Pounds) 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 you are interested to do this business with me. There is no risk in this business.
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 SIX million [£6,000.000]. Upon successful transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining balance of £46 Million to your account.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here as the owner of the account is a foreigner, 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.
Arranged your account particular as follow below A]. Bank Name.................................B]. Bank Address & phone numbers)............C]. Swift Code...................D]. Your Account Number...........................E]. Your Account Name...........................F]. Your Address (Phone & fax}G]. Your Occupation..............H}. Your Nationality............. I}. Your Names...................
At the conclusion 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 I waited for your response, immediately.
Yours Faithfully, Prof. Monsola Mandela.
