I am Mr. TABHO WESLEY, the External Auditor of a ABSA BANK SOUTH AFRICA.
During the Course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account
opened here in the bank in 2002 and since 2003 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 An Heir apparent to the throne, hence
the money is Floating and if I do not remit this money out Urgently it will be
forfeited for nothing's. Paul Wellstone, his wife Sheila and daughter Marcia
died Friday in a small plane crash near Eveleth, Minnesota, that also killed
three staff members and two pilots. Go to CNN NEWS; http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/25/plane.crash.minn/
The owner of this account who is Sen. Paul Wellstone, A foreigner and
senator died, since 2002,until now no other person(s) knows about this Account
or could give any documentary evidence Concerning this account. As such this
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as Well that
Sen. Paul Wellstone until his death was the Manager Oriental Gold Company, in
CONGO. However, if you are interested in this business we will start the first
money transfer with three million U.S. Dollars (U.S. $3,000,000.00) upon

Million United States Dollars. (U.S. $3,000,000.00) from this money into a safe
foreigner's account abroad before the rest. I am only Contacting you as a
foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local account, without
valid International foreign Agreement, but could only be Approved to any
foreigner with valid international Credentials: passport or drivers license and
foreign Account because this sum is in U.S. dollars and The former owner of the
account Sen. Paul Wellstone is a Foreigner too, this money could only be
approved Into a foreign account.

regards. As a matter of urgency, I will inform you the next Step to take, while
