Dear Friend,

VERY CONFIDENTIAL.
------------------

I know that this message will come to you as a
surprise since we don't know each other before, but
for purpose of introduction, I am MR. Simon Nkosi,
the Foreign Account Manager of ALMAGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA
(ABSA).

There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and
since 1990,which was managed by me until the demise of the account
owner , who left no surviving beneficiary.
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. ANDREAS B. SMITH a
foreigner, and a miner at Kruger gold co., a geologist
by profession and he died since 1990. 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 his company
does not know anything about this account and the
amount involved is (US$D26M) Twenty six Million United
States Dollars.

I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this
money cannot be approved to anyone who does not have the
information required from his next of kin an information that i
will give to you if we come to an agreement. I
know that this message will come to you as a surprise
as we don't know ourselves before.
We will sign an agreement, but be sure that it is
real and a genuine business. Please reply urgently so
that I will inform you the next step to take
immediately. Send also your private telephone and fax
number . I want us to come to an agreement on how we will each
disbures our shares of the money and meet face to face to sign a
binding agreement to bind us together so that you can receive this
money into your nominated foreign account or any account of your
choice where the fund will be safe.

And I will fly to your country for withdrawal and
sharing and other investments. 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 is Smith's next of kin, who has
correct information
of this account, this information which is highly confidential I
will give to you later so that you can act as the next of kin with
my guidance
, if you are able and with capability to
handle such amount in strict confidence and trust
according to my instructions and advice for our mutual
benefit because this opportunity will never come again
in my life.

I need truthful person in this business because I
don't want to make mistake I need your strong
assurance and trust. With my position now in the
office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's
reliable account, which you can provide with assurance
that this money will be intact pending my physical
arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy
all documents of transaction immediately we receive
this money leaving no trace to any place.

You can also come to discuss with me face to face
after which I will make this remittance in your
presence and two of us will fly to your country at
least two days ahead of the money going into the
account. I will apply for annual leave to get visa
immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act
and receive this fund in 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 of the ministries and
foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given
20% of the total amount, 75% will be for me, and while
5% will be for expenses both parties might have
incurred during the process of transferring. I look
forward to your earliest reply through my email or by
my Tel:

Yours truly,

MR. Simon M Nkosi.



p.s. I believe "Nkosi" is a East African name..don't think too many Bantu's lived in South Africa.

[Bud Cline]

Oh the "AMALGAMATED" Bank of South Africa, well why didn't you say so earlier. They can be trusted with your mother-in-law. Very reputable bank, I have all my millions there in fact. It's all in passbook savings. And Simon? Great guy ole Simon.

[flatfloor]

Simon is the illegitimate offspring of our friend and treasurer Ponzi. :D

[John Bridge]

Uh, Jim. Don't give up too much information here, man. This sc--deal's gonna work. I just deposited the $26 million check in my acount this morning. Gal at the bank told me it wouldn't be credited until 2:PM Monday. She said she could wire your half to Grand Cayman then.

Try to keep it quiet, okay?
