DEAR PARTNER,
RE:TRANSFER OF USD168,559,000.00 MILLION TO YOUR ACCOUNT.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this important business.Though, this
medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you through
it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication. However,
this correspondence is private, and it should be treated in strict
confidence.
At first I will like to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk and
trouble free to both parties. In order to transfer out USD168,559,000.00{
One hundred and sixty eight million five hundred and fifty nine thousand
U.S dollar Only } from our bank here in South Africa.
The fund for transfer is of clean origin. The owner of the fund is a
foreigner, a program leader who was believed to acquire the fund through
his secret Crude Oil deal with the Former IRAQI government.The deceased
died with all the members of his family in an auto-accident in June 23,
1999 without a WILL. The amount involved is USD168,559,000.00
I want to transfer this money into your account as the foreign beneficiary
of the fund. I know that this letter will come to you as a surprise as we
don't know ourselves before, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND A GENUINE
BUSINESS. I CONTACT YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN ONCE THE
FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
Let me hear from you.
