I wonder how many corrupt bank managers there are in Africa? I expect there are quite a lot.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I know that this message may come to you as a surprise since we do not know each other before now, but for purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Tony Kante, an Auditor in ABSA BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA. During my usual auditing in the bank, I found out about an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since 2000 nobody has operated on this account.

After going through some old files in the record, I discovered that the owner of this account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Co, died since1997. And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation has proven as well that his Company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is Forty Million United States dollars (USD$40 M).

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can only be approved to a foreigner with a proof that he is related to the deceased,  Mr. Smith B. Andreas.

I need your full co-operation to make this work; I want you to come in as a distance cousin to late Mr. Smith B Andrea. And the management will be ready to approve the transfer of this money to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you later.  If you are able and willing to handle such amount in strict confidence and abide to my instructions and advice, we shall all benefit because this is a life time opportunity. With my position now in the bank I can lobby for the transfer of this money to your account, which you will provide with the assurance that the money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing. As I will apply for my annual leave the money gets to your account.

I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the departments of Justice and finance . This is my private email address: tonykante2@executivemail.co.za

Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately. Send also your private telephone and fax numbers including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit. At the conclusion of this business, you will get 30% of the total amount, 65% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might incur during the transfer process.

Yours truly,

Mr. Tony Kante

That’s a great phrase, “re-profiling funds”.

Department of Sport and Recreation

ATTENTION: Sir/Madam

I write, asking for your indulgence in re-profiling funds to tune of Twelve Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$12.8m), which we want to keep safely overseas under your supervision.

In other words, we would like you to receive the said funds on our behalf. The Funds were derived over time from a project awarded to a foreign firm by my Department, and presently the actual contract cost have been paid to the original project executors, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have in principle obtained approval to remit overseas.

Kindly pardon the use of a medium informal as this for reaching out to you to make a request of great importance to us.

Currently, I work as a Director of Projects at The Department of Sport and Recreation here in Pretoria.

I have the authority and approval of my partners involved in this transaction to negotiate a suitable compensation for your participation and I propose 22.2 percent, while we also propose that we receive 46.6 percent and 31.2 percent be earmarked for purposes of taxation.

This endeavour has a minimal risk factor on your part provided you treat it with the utmost discretion. You are advised to reach me through email for further clarifications.

I am available for further clarification via alternative email:
michaelsipo00@gmail.com

I kindly wait to hear from you.

Yours Sincerely,
Engr.Michael Sipo
