MY DEAR FRIEND,

Please We want to transfer to overseas account  ($26,000.000.00 USD)
twety six  millionUnited States Dollars) from a Prime Bank in
Africa, I want to ask you to  quietly  look for a reliable and
honest person who will becapable  and fit to provide either an

for this important business trusting in  you and believing  in
God that you will never let me down  either now or in future.

I am Mr.Mark Davis, The Auditor General of one of
the prime banks here South Africa, during the course of our
auditing,I discovered a floating fund  in an account opened in the
bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account
again, after going through some old files in the records I
discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir]  
hence  the money is floating and  if I do not remit this money out
urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is  Mr.  Allan P.Seaman, a foreigner,
and an industrialist, and  he died,  since 1993. and  no other
person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to
me as well that Allan P. Seaman   until his death was the manager
Diamond Safari  [pty]. S.A. We will start the  first transfer with
twenty six million [$6,000.000] upon successful transaction
without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the
payment of the remaining  rest amount to your account.

The amount involved is (USD 26 M)  twenty six million United
States Dollars only. I want to first transfer $6,000.000 [ six
million United States Dollar] from this money into a safe
foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't know any
foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money can not be approve to a local person here,without
validinternational foreign passport, but can only be approved to
anyforeigner with a/c  because the money is in one of  the
clearing house london now for an easir transter in your account  
Mr. Allan P. Seaman is a foreigner too,and themoney can only be
approved into a foreign a/c However, we will sign a binding
agreement, to bind us together.

that I am contacting for this business. So that I will inform you
the next step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone

used for the deposit.I want us to meet face to face to build
confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will  bind us
together before transferring the money to any account of  your
choice where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your country
for withdrawal, sharing and investments.

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
