Absa Bank Of South Africa Corporate Head Office, Braanmfotien, Johannesburg, South Africa, Tel: +27-733 512 725. Fax: +27 0866 1898 48. My name is Mr. MARK PATRICK, the present Branch Manager of a bank here in South Africa. I write you this proposal in good faith, believing that I can trust you with the information, I am about to reveal to you. Like I said, I have a transaction that will benefit both of us, as your assistance is required as a foreigner. I used to head the Accounts department in my bank head office, but last December I was asked to take position of a manager of our branch in Johannesburg who passed on, so that was how I became the present manager and discovered a fortune. As I resumed on duty, I discovered an account with total sum of $35,000,000 Million that has not been operated on for the past 4 years.
