The latest Nigerian Scam attept...

FROM: HENDRIK MANUEL
TEL: 27 76 586 1691
FAX: 27 86 517 3941
EMAIL: mr.hendrikmanuel@financier.com
DATE: 24/02/2011
Good day!

In order to transfer out (US$15 Million) Fifteen Million United States Dollars from (ABSA) BANK. I have picked up the trust and courage to write you this letter with divine confidence that you are a reliable and honest Person who will be capable for this important business transaction believing also that you will never let me down either now or in the future.

My name is Mr. Hendrik Manuel a senior Auditing Officer with the ABSA in South Africa There is an account opened in this bank in 2000 and since 2002 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 to the government.

The owner of this account died since 2002. 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 this company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is (US$15 Million) Fifteen Million United States Dollars.

I want to transfer this sum of Fifteen Million United States Dollars into a safe foreign account abroad. I am contacting you based on the fact that you are a foreigner because this money can only be approved for payment to a foreigner, more so it can not be approved by any local bank here, as this money is in US Dollars hence the former owner of this account is a foreigner too. I know that this proposal will come to you as a surprise as we don't know ourselves before. However I got your contact from a trade consultant here in South Africa though I did not disclose the purpose of my seeking for a foreign business partner to him.
I have involved a very senior official in the Operational department and we have agreed that after the transfer of the money into your account, you shall be entitled to 30% of the total sum. We the officials will take 60% while 10% is for expenses. All necessary precautions have been taken to ensure 100% risk free situation on the side of both parties.

Please note that this deal can only take place on the following conditions: -

1. You will provide the bank account and other relevant Particulars/information for easy and onward Remittance of this money.

2. Absolute confidentiality and sincerity will be required and guaranteed, considering our (me and my partners) positions in the bank.

All things being equal, this transaction will be within 10 working days as soon as we hear from you. Please treat with utmost confidentiality. Contact me as quickly as possible through my fax No: +27 865173941 or above telephone number.

Regards,
MR. HENDRIK MANUEL.

10/1 Kettlebell rountine...my fav

Warm-up: 15 minutes MMA combos on the heavy bag

Swings 20 x 55#
See-saw press 2 x 10 x 40#
front squat  8 x 110#
bent rows 2 x 8 x 55#

Single arm swing 2 x 10 x 55#
barbell bench press 10 x 165#
Farmer's stairs 3 flights @ 110#
Lat pulls 8 x 165#

I really like this routine, effective without being debilitating. Easier on my sometimes
problematic old-man lower back than super high rep snatches & swings.
I have lost 12-15 lbs since May by training with bells 2-3 times a week & making no other changes in my regular routine.
