Date: Tue, 31 Aug 2004 23:12:54 +0100 From: "conti@handbag.com" Subject: BUSINESS TRANSACTION/INVESTMENT. BUSINESS TRANSACTION/INVESTMENT. Good Day. I am making this contact based on my need to contact someone to whom the sum of Ten Million United States Dollars{$10,000,000.00.USD}from a prime Bank in Africa would be transferredcto overseas, I want to ask you if you are capable of receiving this fund, but if you are not quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank account immediately to receive this money, provided you/him will remain honest to me till the end of this important business transaction while trusting in you and believing in God that youwill never let me down either now or in future I am Mr conty wetego, the Auditor of a prime bank in Africa. During the course of our auditing,I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 no body has operated this account again.After going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without an (heir) hence the money is floating, and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited to the Bank and written off as uncollectable The owner of this account was Mr.Allan P. Seaman, a foreigner, and an Industrialist died since 1993.My investigation shows that no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it. According to my investigation, the account has no other beneficiary,andthat Mr. Allan P.Seaman until his death was the Managing Director of Diamond Safari(PTY)SA and the sole BENEFICIARY TO THE ACCOUNT. I am only contacting you because as a local person, I cannot claim the money without a, registered FOREIGN company here. The money can only be approved for payment to only licensed foreign account because the original account owner Mr.Allan P.Seaman is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved for payment into a foreign account as well. However, we will sign a binding agreement,to bind us during the course ofthe transaction, I am revealing this to you with the belief in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply soonest so that I will inform you the next step to take. Send also your private telephone and faxnumber for easier communication. I await your urgent response. Best Regards Mr conty Mbeky wetego.
