Dear Friend,
I am an accountant and a member of the Contract Tender Board (CTB) of the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa (PTY) Ltd also known as PetroSA. I am presently on a special diplomatic duty in the South Africa foreign office in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I got your contact through discreet inquiries in my search for a reliable individual or company who can handle a strictly confidential transaction that involves the transfer of a reasonable sum of money to a foreign account. I have no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business of considerable amount, which will form the bedrock of an extensive business partnership in due course. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on your status that you will handle this transaction with all maturity and confidentiality it deserves.
The money we want to transfer to you amount to a total of US$15.500,000.00 (Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) only. It was extracted from various over-invoiced contracts, masterminded by myself and some of my colleagues for our mutual benefit when the contracts was awarded by the Contracts Tender Board (CTB) of the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa (PeTROSA) Ltd. The above over-invoiced sum has been drafted and short-listed for final payment to a foreign bank account and it has been reflected as an amount to be paid to a foreign contractor for contract that has been executed for the Petroleum, Oil & Gas Corporation of South Africa (PTY) Ltd. The money is currently floating in the suspense account of the South Africa Reserve Bank (SARB) awaiting claim by a foreign partner, which status we absolutely want you to assume. The code of conduct bureau in South Africa has made it an offence for civil servants like us to(A) operate a foreign account (B) own a foreign company and (C) take up contract while still in active service. This is why we need your assistance.
Now is the optimum period to realize this fund following the recent directive given to all-federal parastatals and corporations to pay off all foreign debts. I therefore seek your assistance to allow the remittance of this fund to be made to your personal or company's bank account. We have agreed that 30% of the total sum will be given to you, 65% will be for me and my colleagues and 5% for any expenses that maybe incured during this transaction, after the successful transference of the fund to your bank account.
I want to assure you that all modalities for the successful transfer of this money to your account has been perfectly worked out and as such, there is no fear of failure. However, I would want to believe that you are honest enough and will not raise any misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction. Most importantly, you will keep this transaction very confidential so as not to tarnish the confidence reposed on these officials by the nation's financial house.
If this business proposal interest you, kindly indicate your willingness to me through email or by phone (+ 31-619-310-577) for immediate commencement of the transaction. To enable this fund to be successfully transferred to your account, you will also have to provide the following information:
1.Your company name and address that you wish to use as the beneficiary to claim the fund.
2.Your private telephone, fax Numbers.
3.Your Bank name, address and account number where you would want the money remitted.
More information about the remittance of the fund to your account will be sent to you when I receive your response. Meanwhile, your swift response will help to meet the ultimatum given to all foreign contractors in this payment quarter to ensure that funds are claimed.
We also wish to discuss investment strategy with you. We have the plan of investing part of our fund in real estate with your assistance in your country.
Please, treat this information as confidential.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.George Rhoney.

No.

But I've had loads like it, and can give you several amusing suggestions on how to respond based on the many, many posts here on the subject in the past. There are at least two websites that are devoted to winding up people who send these things.

couldn't one open a new bank account, especially to handle this sort of thing? Then they puit money in and erm you move it somewhere else. Or whatever. It might be quite interesting.

Re: daft idea

All jokes aside, you shouldn't actually even reply to this stuff. Some of the perpetrators are actually dangerous and there is already documented evidence of violent reprisals against people who they manage to trace. If you reply - they know you exist. And that's where it all starts.

I know what to do with the ones from Nigeria etc. The ones we have trouble with are the ones that look like documents from government agencies and demand £25 for data protection registration or other things. One came from an address on Fleetwood pier with a proper stamp on it. Took us a bit to suss that one out!!

Green Card lottery

Absolutely true - the US Government runs a green card lottery every year; I think they have (?) 5,000 to give away. The idea being, presumably, to encourage poor, oppressed, downtrodden etc. masses in line with the founding fathers' dictum.

I think I'm right in saying that UK nationals aren't allowed to participate, presumably on the grounds that we aren't poor, oppressed etc (hah!). I'm also not sure how much they welcome entries from people with lightly tinted skin, big beards and what George Dubya would no doubt call "Muslimicised inclinations" :eek:)

I had a number of these through email and have sent my £250 off and my bank details and awaiting my huge cheque it should be there tomorrow and so Im down to the bank first thing. Im sitting up all night in my coat with my suitcase packed ready for the off.

If that comes off and the £100 Ive invested upfront in a very profitable looking home working offer I should be set for life and if that doesn't work MLM would be as sure as houses.
