Hello,

I sent you an email about a week ago but i did not get any response from you, so i assumed that you did not receive my message and i decided to send it again. My name is Mr. Hugo Steyn, I work with a Bank in South Africa, and i am the regional manager who has been running the activities of the Private Banking Sector in our branch office here in Johanesburg for some years now.
I have contacted you because i have a business proposal for you to handle with me from my Bank that will definitely benefit you and i, if both of us can have a mutual understanding with each other. I have access to Fifty three million US dollars (58 million Dollars) that has been in a domant and non functional account in my bank for some years, And i have drafted a perfect and safe plan to move this money out of our Bank, but i obviously need partner abroad to assist me make arrangements to secure safe bank accounts Abroad where we can transfer this money out, and this is the reason why i need your assistance.

I understand that my proposal may sound a little strange to you, but i assure you that i have made geniune and safe plans. Please understand that i cannot give you all the details now in order to protect my career until i am sure that i can trust you to work with me.  I will surely explain everything with details of my bank and the proof of the source of this money if you are interested in this deal before we proceed. I see this as FREE MONEY that belongs to nobody so that is why i have decided to move this money out of my bank because i have discovered that if I do not make this move urgently, it will be forfeited for nothing and the rich owners of this Bank will definitely divert the funds to their own accounts if they eventually discover it.
I live and dine in the banking world so i assure you that the entire transaction will be executed under 100% legitimate arrangements without putting anybody or my career at any risk.  I will explain every detail as regards the history about the source of this money if you indicate your interest, then you will decide if you want to work with me or not and we can then agree on the % sharing terms that we both will work on. Waiting for your reply.

Regards
Hugo Steyn

There is actually a Hugo Steyn that works at Standard Bank in quite a senior position as well. I am sure he wont be very impressed with this one.
