Default email scam

67 Cresent Close,
Lynnwood Road
Hatfield Pretoria
Gauteng, South
Africa.


{INTERNATIONAL HERITAGE TRANSACTION}
{One Hundred & Seventy
Two Million Six Hundred And
Fifty Four Thousand United State Dollars}
{(RE: TRANSFER OF ($172,654,000.00 USD}
{BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY/YOUR
ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED}

Dear Sir/Madam!!

I sincerely ask for
forgiveness for I know this may seem like a complete intrusion to your
privacy but right about now this is my option of communication. This
mail might come to you as a surprise and the temptation to ignore it as
unserious could come into your mind; but please consider it a divine
wish and accept it with a deep sense of humility.

I am aware that
this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a
relationship. I am Duru Nbeki ,the personal account officer to the
great late diseased who has an account in one of the top banks here in
South Africa. The account was opened in 2001 and he died in 2004
without a written or oral WILL and since 2004 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 and Govt. of
South Africa will confiscate the funds for their personal use which I
personally don't want such incident to happen being that this is a
great opportunity for me.

My contact is for you to please assist me
to transfer the fund ($172,654,000.00 USD) One Hundred & Seventy Two
Million Six Hundred And Fifty Four Thousand United State Dollars from a
Cooperate Bank here in South Africa to an oversea account. First, I
must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This is by
virtue of its 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 onward 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 because this
business is my life. 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 & Ministries here 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 ($172,654,000.00 USD) One Hundred & Seventy Two
Million Six Hundred And Fifty Four Thousand United State 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 Fifty million [$50,000.000]. Upon successful transfer
without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining balance of $122,654,000.00 Million to your
account. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money
cannot 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. So you should provide me with your correct
account details where you will like the fund to be transferred to, or
you can set up a new account for the transfer even an empty account is
ok. At the conclusion of the transfer you will take 45%, 6% will be for
any expenses both parties incurred in the process of this business and
the remaining 49% 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. If you are interested,
please forward the following information as below:

{1} Your
Name/company's name and full address,
{2} Bank Name:............
{3}
Bank Address...
{4} Account No:.........
{5} Swift Code...{if any}
{6}
Account Holder's Name: ..........
{7} Your telephone Nos.both Home,
Office & Cell/Mobile and faxNumbers...
{8} Your Occupation
{9} Your
Valid ID

Upon the receipt of the above details, payment will be
activated by the feeding of your data into payment system, followed by
a signal that will be sent to the paying bank to remit funds into your
nominated bank account within 5 official working days of receipt of the
above information. Contact me urgently via email privately for further
details:dnbeki@myway.com

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Mr,Duru Nbeki.
