My name is Mr, Ben Lucas account officer to the great late diseased who has an account in one of the top banks here in South Africa. The account was opened in 2001 and he died in 2004 without a written or oral WILL and since 2004 nobody has operated on this account again hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing and the Govt.of South Africa will confiscate the funds for their personal use which I personally don't want such incident to happen being that this is a great opportunity for me. My contact is for you to please assist me to transfer the fund ($172,654,000.00 USD)One Hundred & Seventy Two Million Six Hundred And Fifty Four Thousand United State Dollars from a Cooperate Bank here in South Africa to an oversea account.

duty to send a financial report to my head office in the capital city, Pretoria, at the end of each financial year.I have moved the funds into what the bank call Escrow Holding Account with no beneficiary.

So my contacting you is to assist me receive the funds in your bank account in your country; which I know is possible if you liaise properly with me and get 30% of the total funds as your benefit.
