ATTN: URGENT FUND TRANSFER
I know that this message will come to you as a surprise since we don't
know each other before, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR.
IDRIS ABUBAKAR THE AUDIT DEPT ASSISTANT MANAGER OF AMALGAMATED BANK
OF SOUTH AFRICA (ABSA).
There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since 1990 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.
SMITH B. ANDREAS, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Goal Co. a geologist
by profession and he died since 1990. 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 this company does not
know anything about this account and the amount involved is US$52 million
(FIFTY-two Million United States Dollars).
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 US Dollars and the former owner of the
account is MR. SMITH B. ANDREAS is a foreigner too. I know that this
message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before.
We will sign an agreement but be sure that it is real and a genuine
business. Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take immediately. Send also your private Tel. and a fax number including
the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind
us together so that you can receive this money into a foreign account
or any account of our choice where the fund will be safe. And I will
fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.
Meanwhile you can open a new account in any bank for this purpose if
you like. I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreign
account and a foreign beneficiary.
I need your full cooperation to make this work fine because the management
is ready to give approval to any foreigner, who has the correct information
of the account, which I will give to you later, if you are able and
willing to handle such an amount of money in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because
this opportunity will never come again in my life.
I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make
mistake, I need your strong assurance and trust. With my position now
in the office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable
account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be
in tact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. I will
destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money
leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me
face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence
and two of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the
money going into the account.
I will use my position and influence to effect the legal approvals
and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance
forms of ministries and foreign exchange departments. At the conclusion
of this business, you will be given 30% of the total amount while 10%
will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process
of transferring, 60% will be for me.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email address above.
Best regards,
MR.IDRIS ABUBAKAR
