(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 email address: abcbenedict@gmail.com

Mr. Mccarthy Benedict
