Please Daisy_Analysis_Ltd for the purpose of introduction, I am Mr. James Zuma, Chief Auditor of FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA (FNB). Headquarter here in Johannesburg South Africa . There is an account opened in this bank in 1990 and since 2004 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 for nothing. The owner of this account is MR.TONY.RAYMOND, from the United States of America , and a miner at Kruger gold company here in South Africa. , a geologist by profession and he died since Nov 12th 2001. ( http://archives.cnn.com/2001/US/11/12/newyork.crash) 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 (USD18M) {EIGHTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS} .
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in us dollars and 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.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
