Dear Sir/Madam!!
I am aware that this is certainly an unconventional approach to starting a relationship. I am Dr.
Keithy Wood, the personal account officer to the great late deceased 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 overseas 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. I am
waiting.
Thanks.
Best Regards,
Dr. Keithy Wood.
