Attn:

My name is (DR. ALAM REMY), I am the operational
manager in account management section incharge of
credit and foreign bills of one of the prime banks
here in South Africa. I am writing in respect of a
foreign customer of my bank who perished with his
whole families on 25TH JULY,2000 in CONCORDE PLANE
CRASH [Flight AF4590] with the whole passengers
aboard.

There is an account opened in this bank in 1998 by
this great late INDUSTRIALIST who died without a
written or oral 'WILL' attached to the account. Since
his death, I personally has watched with keen interest
to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as
no one has come to claim his funds 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 his company.

The total amount involved is 106,000,000.00 USD.[One
Hundred and Six Million United States Dollar]. We wish
to start the first transfer with $6,000,000.00[Six
million] and upon successful transaction without any
disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for
the transfer of the remaining balance to your account.

I have secretly discussed this matter with the general
manager of the bank who I must involve in order to
have a smooth and a successful transfer of the fund to
any foreign bank account which you are going to
nominate. On this note, I decided to seek for a
reliable foreigner who will act as the foreign
beneficiary of the fund from the deceased by providing
his/her bank account where the fund will be
transferred for immediate investment on any viable
project as no one has come up to be the next of kin.

The banking ethics here does not allow such money to
stay more than six years without claim hence the money
will be recalled to the government treasury as
unclaimed after this long period of domancy.

In view of this I got your contact through my personal
search to see if you can assist by providing your safe
bank account for the transfer or find a reliable
person who will be capable of receiving such amount in
his or her personal account. At the conclussion of the
transfer 65% of the fund will be for me, I will give
you 20% of the total transfer sum, 10% for charity
both in Africa and in your country while the remaining
5% will be set aside to settle expenses both parties
might incure during the transfer process.

Upon the receipt of your reply, I will send to you a
detailed information about the transaction. I will not
fail to bring to your notice that this business is
100% risk and trouble free and that you should not
entertain any fear as all modalities for fund transfer
can be finalized within 7 to 9 banking days, after you
apply to the bank as the beneficiary of the fund from
the deceased.

When you receive this letter. Kindly send me an e-mail
through my private email:(alam_b@mail.gr)
or you can call me or fax me. You should also include
your private email,fax and phone numbers for easy and
safe communication.

Respectfully yours,

Dr. Alam Remy.

There was one, you know. Or did it go unnoticed in the press due to extensive coverage of the third anniversary of Diana's death?

That's not even the South African international dialing code! You also have to report any international bank transaction over R5 000.00.

Whoever gets suckered by that deserves it!

I have a fireman mate in Cardiff who is mailed on a regular basis from numerous persons in refugee camps in West Africa promising him riches beyond his wildest dreams. The grammar, spelling and just general surrealism of them means that he actually looks forward to receiving them now just to brighten up his week. :twisted:

Just because I work for an ISP do you think I'd know how to send a forged e-mail? I'm shocked :innocent:

I'd like to think I'd come up with a better story though. and at least use a .co.za domain and a SA number. I'd also work on my grammar a bit.

That would be mischievous. Only two is. I'm sorry, but this one is a pet hate of mine. Especially when people pronounce it like you have spelled it.

Miss-chu-vus not miss-chee-vee-us.
