DEAR FRIEND
I must solicit your strictest confidence in this information and transaction, virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. I am Mr.Benno FATAULA, Bank Manager in island north of Africa with big office and pyramid at Fotaka-Lispera Konta-sta-proin-kremmasta. I hoped that you will not expose or betray this trust and confident that I am about to establish with you for the mutual benefit of you and I.
Many funds was deposited in the bank by some gentlemen from a big country who had lot of problem and crashed down in 1989. The gentlemen like to deposit money in the island because is in the Urozon. The total initial amount deposited in the bank was thirty billion, five hundred million,3 hundred thousand euro, forty seven (euro 13,500,354,000 this is big number, sorry if there is some mistake). The bank was bying a lot of Greek bonds, but there is a lot of money in the reservoir still. This discovery was brought to my office so I decide to become Director and do some things with the money. I decided to seek ways through which transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.
I see it appropriate to convert this fund for personal utilization so I need your urgent assistance in transferring the sum of euro 10.5 million into your account. The esteemed fortune teller Figi revealed to me that the country will bankrupt soon and no transaction will be permitted. So kindly disclose your answer within 7 working banking days. This money is becoming a loan to you, but you don’t need to pay back. Please don’t stress about the payability of yours because the authorities in the island are dormant. The President and the Chief Banker don’t like to talk to each other. I give some loans to respected persons and parties so there is no problem in the future. Also the members of parliament they don’t know what is ELA.
I want our bank to release this fund to you to use for your convenience. I check your background and I am convinced of your integrity, transparency and honest disposition so we need to proceed to this laudable transaction. Upon the receipt of your reply and indication of your capability, I will give you full details on how the business will be executed and also note that you will have a percentage of the above mentioned sum if you agree to handle this business with me while some percentage will be for me to establish legitimate process that will protect you from any breach of the law.
