I got this e-mail and I'm going to post it without comment so others can judge for themselves...
FROM PAUL MABUZA
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: 27-83-4160-572
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO
I am PAUL MABUZA (FCAA), the chief accountant of African Development bank (ADB).
There is an account open in thisbank in 1999 and since 2001 nobody has operated
on this account again.
After going through some old files in the records, I discovered that if I do not
remit this money out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing. The owner of this
account is Mr. Smith B. Andreas, a foreigner, and a miner at Kruger Gold Company, a Geologist by profession and he died since 2000.No other person knows this account or anything concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this company does not know anything about this account and the money involved is Thirty Six Million United States Dollars (US$ 36 Million).
I want us to first transfer US$ 16 Million from this money into your safe overseas
account before the rest.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to
a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money
is in United States Dollars and the former owner Mr. Smith B. Andreas is a foreigner
too. I know that this message will come to you as surprise as we don;t know ourselves
before. but be sure that it is real and a genuine business. I only got your contact
information from my secretary who operates computer; with believe in God that you
will never let me down in this business, considering my position as a public servant.
You are the only person that I have contacted in this business; so please reply
urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take immediately.Send also your
private telephone and fax numbers . I will fly to your country for withdrawal and
sharing and other investment.
Meanwhile, I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with
foreign account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this
work fine because the management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner
who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you as soon as
you indicate your sincerity to co-operate with me, and capability to handle such
amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and advice for
our mutual benefit because this opportunity may never come again in my life.
I need a truthful and God fearing person in this business because I don;t want
to make a mistake so I need your strong assurance and trust. With my position in
the office I don;t want anything that will jeopardize my job so I advice that we
should make secrecy and confidentiality our primary working condition, bearing in
mind that I am a public servant. I will also use my position and influence to effect
legal approvals and onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange department. At the conclusion of this business, you will be giving 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred the process of the transfer. I look forward to your earliest reply.
Yours sincerely,
PAUL MABUZA.
