    URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
    Hello Good Day,

    My name is MR. HASSAN MOHAMMED SHEARFF, the Chief Auditor of State
    Bank of Mauritius (SBM GROUP) there is an account opened in this bank
    in 2006 and since 2007 nobody has operated on this account again.
    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.

    The owner of this account is Mr. Robert James Courser, a foreigner and
    a Miner at Mauritius Diamond/Gold Company. A Geologist by profession
    died in 2007 No one knows about this account or anything concerning it
    the account has no other beneficiary and the investigation proves to
    me as well that his company does not know anything about this account
    and the amount in the account at the moment is (USD$65MILLION
    (SIXTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)

    As the money is in United States Dollars I need a foreign
    partner/account to transfer the money overseas thus I am contacting
    you. Please kindly indicate and if so contact me on the above phone
    number to enable me inform you on next step to take. There is no risk
    at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be done by the
    attorney and my position guarantees the successful execution of this
    transaction. I need your full co-operation to make this transaction
    work because the management is ready to approve this payment to any
    foreigner who has correct information on this account, which I will
    give you if you indicate your interest. I hope you can be able to
    handle such amount in strict confidence because this opportunity will
    never come again in my life. I need truthful person in this business
    relationship because I don’t want to make any mistake and I need your
    strong assurance and confidentiality. With my position now in the
    office I can transfer this money to any reliable foreign account, with
    assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical arrival
    in your country for sharing.

    All documents regarding this transaction will be destroyed once I
    receive confirmation of the money in your account thus leaving no
    trace to anything. I will apply for annual leave to get visa
    immediately on confirmation to receive this fund into your designated
    account with appropriate clearance forms from the Ministries and
    Foreign Exchange Departments. At the conclusion of this business you
    will be given 40% of the total amount, 55% will be for me, while 5%
    will be for expenses that we might incur during the course of this
    transaction.

    Finally, please if you are interested in this transaction, all I want
    you to do is to send me your Private Mobile Phone Numbers for Easy
    Communication including your personal Full details, like your Full
    Names, Your Age, Your Occupation, ID Copy, and Home Address.

    We received a small box with a larger box inside. Some BBC science-fiction memorabilia or something apparently.
