Subject: I have an urgent important business proposal with you.
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Respectful One,
Please accept my humble apologies if I had caught you unaware,I frankly do not mean any harm or to embarass you.only want to know if you can co-operate with me to execute this deal that is laying stagnant in the vault of this company hence a foreigner is urgently needed.
I am Mr.David Boama Konteh,Assistant Director of Delivery/Operations,in a Finance Corporation here in the Republic of Senegal.Our firm also operates a Security Company of high repute with years of outstanding services to foreigners and the people of Africa especially top
government officials and military leaders here in Africa.I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us and of which you have the right to decline without exposing my intentions to my company authorities.
I have not discussed this transaction with anybody because it is of top secret.To be explicit and straight to the point, sometime early 1999 a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safekeeping and since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment,which has accumulated a considerable amount of
money in demurrage.
Consequently,in our bids to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the former chief Rabel Leader of the Federal Republic of Sierra Leone,who died of illness in prison custody for war crimes he commited in his country after he was captured by (United Nation peace keeping force).
Since the death of our client Mr.Fudel Sankoh,none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us,which means that none of his relative or aids had any knowledge of this consignment.Out of curiosity regarding the event of the september 11
incident on the attack of world trade center in New York USA and blood Diamond deals going on between African Leaders,the company decided to scann all deposited valuables in our storage department to be sure that there where no explosive items.
In one of the boxes our chief security officer discovered that the box registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United State Dollars,(USD$14,500,000) in estimation according to the document enclosed in the box.The discovery was reported to me as the operational director and Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly after a personal thorough investigations.I also found out from enquiries and foreign medias that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was incharge as Rabel Leader through DIAMOND SALES.It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money in our care.
Now the chief security officer who dicovered this money have been reired for good,this is the reasons I now solicit your noble co-operations to assist by applying/coming forward as the next of Kin/Business partner in moving this box out to you or to our affiliates in Europe which is where through collective arrangements it can be retrieved for our sharing.
Being a Director of Delivery and Operations I do not fully have unlimited powers to take away this box hence,I had to seek for a reputable and reliable business inclined third party,hence my intention is to leave the company after this transaction. Please if you are interested contact me for more directives,as I await for your most favourable response.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.David Konte
