Subject: URGENT BUSINESS
Good day,
It may surprise you to receive this e-mail from me, especially when we
haven't had any previous dealings. However I contacted you through this
means because I received information about you.
Secondly, I am using this means so that my personality can be sheilded until
I am sure of your willingness to assist me in achieving the purposes of
this business which will be of a high benefit to you and to my family.
I am Lieutenant Colonel Umar Ali Military Commander of POLISARIO (Political
Front for the Liberation of Western Sahara) and a member of council of the
National Secretariat of Western Sahara(Saharawi Democratic Republic). Prior
to my promotion to this rank/commander, I was the second in command to the
former military Commander General Haamid Yasir.
He was however killed in battle in early AUGUST.
THE PURPOSE OF CONTACTING YOU: The struggle for the liberation of the Saharawi
people from the strong grip of Morocco and it's despotic government, hasza
enjoyed funding from private,religious and corporate organizations around
the world, people and organizations recognizes our struggle.
These organizations are the ones who assist/aid POLISARIO with funds and
materials in execution of this war with Morocco. Before the death of my
former Military commander(General Haamid Yasir ), we were given some funds(US$34,000,000.00)
by an international solid mineral multi-national company donor to procure
ammunitions for POLISARIO.
My boss moved and deposited these funds with a private security/finance
company in EUROPE. In my bid to audit our quarterly accounts I realized
that the records of the $34Million was not reflected in the books. As I
continued my private investigation I unclosed the source of these funds.
I found out that it was my boss who deleted every record of this larges
sum from the accounting books because his intentions is to keep this particular
funds for himself.
I called him to a meeting(two of us) over this issue - that was in JUNE
last year.
He told me at the meeting that the funds as part of the donations POLISARIO
(Political Front for the Liberation of Western Sahara) get year in and year
out is to be kept for his use and the future of his family since the future
of the survival of the struggle is uncertain.
I saw his reasons and readily agreed with him because he promised me a good
fraction of the money there and then, especially when I know that the money
will never have a record trace ever. However, as fate may have it General
Haamid Yasir died at the war-front and I became the military commander in
SEPTEMBER 2nd. And in addition to that l am the only person on earth who
has previlege of knowing the information of this cash deposit.
I have all the relevant documents pertaining to this deposit.
I want to claim this funds knowing fully well that I have all the relating
documents needed to claim these funds.
These documents are the Certificate of Deposit with which the Cash was deposited,
and also the Deposit Agreement. I therefore want you to team/partner with
me to collect the funds in EUROPE as I require a foreigner to perfect this
operation.
Let me know your terms. I will provide all the necessary documents in my
disposal to lay claim to these funds -which as the requirement agreed-upon
with the security/finance company.
The issue is this: I will transfer legal ownership of these funds to you
so that you can then be the new beneficiary of the funds that way my link
to the funds terminated,for a smooth movement of the funds to you. There
are no risks involved in this business because I remain here and hold all
machineries involved in this business. I should also clearly state here
that as long as you keep this business confidential there is no means whereby
risk can be imported to it.
This is because someone elses knowledge remain the only thing that can import
any risk to this deal.
This is a simple and straight forward business, but must be kept highly
confidential so that we can record success in it within the next 10 working
days.
Upon the receipt of a positive response from you, I will give you further
details; outlining the method of operation which has been mastered to pull
this transaction through soonest.
Therefore, if you are interested, please reach me with e-mail below
while I perfect a better communication means for this project. Let me reiterate
it again, I will want everything about this transaction to be treated in
confidence even if you are not interested.
I await your response.
Yours, Col.
Umar Ali
