Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 15.49.52 +0100
Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
FROM: REV.FR.FRANK JAMES
THE DIRECTOR DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
CLOBAL SECURITY COMPANY.
LAGOS NIGERIA
ATTN: DEAR FRIEND,
I am REV.FR.FRANK JAMES, the Director of
Delivery/Operations in a security company here in NIGERIA.
Our firm is a security company of high repute with
years of outstanding service to 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. I have not discussed this transaction with anybody
because it is of top secret. To be explicit and straight to
the point, Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours
deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safe
keeping. 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 bide to contact this client toredeem the demurrage
which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that
our client was the former president of the Federal Republic
of Zaire, President Mobutu Sese seko, who died of illness
after he was dethroned in the same year the consignment was
entrusted into our care.
Since the death of our client , none of his benefactors has
come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means
that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this
consignment. Hence out of curiosity and unknown to other
directors.
I decided to secretly scan the box that our client
deposited in our vault.And to my surprise I discovered that
the two boxes that were registered as personalbelongings
by our client actually contained a considerable amount of
money in United States Dollars estimated to be over
US$15million Dollar.
Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly.
I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that
our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country
while he was in office as head of state. It is my
conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of
the money that our client siphoned,hence he did not
disclose the contents and now that he is dead there is no
trace to this money in our care.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in
claiming and transferring this money to your country for
immediate investment..This you and I could do by using the
NIGERIA office here or its affliate in Europe depending
on where will be convenient for your visit. I have also
decided that you will generously be compensated with 30% of
the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming
your willingness to assist me of this transaction,I
will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of
ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate
your easy claim, clearance and transfer of the funds to
your country for onwards investment. This transaction is
100% risk free.Please maintain absolute confidentiality on
this matter.
I await your most prompt response.
Yours faithfully.
REV.FR.FRANK JAMES
