Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

Betreff: URGENT ASSIST FUND TRANSFER..
Hello,
I know that This letter might
surprise you because,we have not
met neither in person nor by
correspondence. But I believe it is one
day that you get know
somebody either in physical or through
correspondence.
I want to transfer ($136,000.000.00 USD) One Hundred &
Thirty six million United States Dollars from a Prime Bank here in
South Africa to an oversea account.First, I must solicit your
strictest
confidence in this transaction. This is by virtue of it's
nature as
being utterly confidential. I am sure and have confidence
of your
ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of this
great
magnitude.
I solicit your assistance to
enable us transfer the said
amount into your safe account for
unward investment.You can either
provide us with an existing
account or to set up a new Bank account
immediately to receive this
money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as
long as you will remain honest to me till the
end of this important
business trusting in you and believing that you
will never let
me down either now or in
future.
I am the personal
account officer to the great late INDUSTRIALIST who has an account in
one of the top banks here in South Africa. The account was opened in
1998 and he died in 2003 without a written or oral WILL and since
2003
nobody has operated on this account
again hence the
money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it
will be forfeited for
nothing.
The owner of this
account is a foreigner and no other person
knows about this account
or anything concerning it, the account has no
other beneficiary and
until his death he was the manager of the company.
My investigation
through the National immigration department proved to
me as well that
he was single as at the time of his entry into the
Republic of
South Africa. The amount in this account is USD$136
Million ( One Hundred & Thirty six Million United States Dollars )
only.
As a matter of fact, I have decided to
transfer this fund abroad
for investment. Your assistance
as a foreigner is necessary because
the management of the bank
will welcome any foreigner who has correct
information to this
account which I will give to you immediately, if
you are
interested to do this business with me.There is no risk in this
business. With my position and my personal contact with the
manager
of the bank, the money can be transferred to any account
you can
provide with assurance that this money will be
intact
pending our
physical arrival in your country for
sharing.
We will start the first
transfer with
Thirty six million [$36,000.000]. Upon successful
transfer without
any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply
for
the payment of the remaining balance of $100 Million to your
account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner
because this
money
can not be approved to a local person here, but can only
be approved
to any foreigner who has the correct information of
the account which
I will provide for you.
The
informations will be as follows..
Bank
Name..
Bank Address..
A/C Name...
A/C
Number.....
Swift Code No...
Phone numbers home and
office...
So you should provide me with your
correct
account details and your phone numbers, where you will like the
fund
to be transferred or you can set up a new account for the
transfer even an empty account is ok. At the conclussion of the
transfer you will take 35%,5% will be for any expenses both parties
incurred in the process of this business and the remaining 60% will be
for me. As soon as I hear from you and upon your strong assurance
that
you will not let me down once the fund goes into your account I
will
then start the processing of the
transfer of the
fund to your account
without further delay.
Contact
me urgently via email
(pat1030colo@latinmail.com) for
further details.
Thanks. Yours
Faithfully,
Mr.Patrick Colombo. |
