I am RA Williams (Mr.), the Chief Auditor of a Financial institutes here in South
Africa and I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a surprising manner and I
want you to bear in mind that this is not a hoax but I respectfully insist you read this
mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open door for unimaginable financial reward
for both of us and believe that you will not let me down and we will work together to
develop trust and confidence in this business .
After going through some old file in the records department, I discover that there is an
account opened in 1997 belonging to the late Mr. Morris Thompson a foreigner and a
miner at Kruger Gold Company a geologist by profession and since 2000 nobody has
operated the account following Mr. Morris Thompson death in 2000. Mr. Morris
Thompson lost his life in the plane crash of Alaska Airlines Flight 261flying to San
Francisco and Seattle from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, which crashed into the Pacific
Ocean not far from Los Angeles on January 31st 2000, including his wife and his only
daughter (Thelma Thompson, and daughter Sheryl Thomps on).
After my further investigation I also discovered that Late Mr. Morris Thompson’s next
of kin was his daughter who died with him. The account has no other beneficiary and
my investigation proves to me as well that his company does not know anything a bout
this account. Since then, no other person knows about this account, and the amount
involved is US$32 Million (THIRTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATE
DOLLARS). I would like to first transfer US$12 million into your overseas account as
a foreigner because Mr. Morris Thompson was a foreigner then later I will transfer the
remaining US$20 million before joining you in person for disbursement and
investment opportunity which you will be an asset to it.
I am only contacting you because of your foreign status as this money cannot be
approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to any foreign account because the
money is in a foreign currency (US dollars) and former owner of the account, Mr.
Morris Thompson was a foreigner. Because of the need to involve a f oreign account, I
need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready
to approve the payment to whoever has the correct information to this account, of
which I will give you later, if you are able to handle such amount in str ict confidence
and trust according to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefits because this
opportunity will never come again in our lives. I need a trustworthy person in this
business because I don’t want to make a mistake and I need your strong assurance,
trust and reliability.
With my position now in the office and the influence of the top director of the
Financial institutes, I will make sure that this money is transferred into any reliable
account, which you can provide with the assurance tha t this money will be intact
pending my physical arrival in your country for my sharing. Your physical presence is
also welcomed in South Africa in which the transfer will be done in your presence. I will destroy all the documents of the transaction immedia tely you receive this money,
leaving no trace in any place .
I have the tendency to invest my own share of the money in your country in
expectation to a sound management and a good capital returns according to your
advice. R

This is spam, they get every ones email address. When you open them it sends them a message that your account is active then they pass it on to other spammers. Same thing happens when you unsubscribe to junk mail. They pass you on. Just mark them spam. It doesn’t do any good to put them on your block list because they change their address like we change our socks. Sometimes it takes time to stop these once they start, but they do stop. I don’t get any spam at all.
