Subject: business proposal urgent reply
Sir, I hope this letter will not come to you as a surprise. It was borne out of my desire to share a mutual business relationship with you. My name is Mr. Timothy Appiah , 42yrs,a Secretary, a Ghana national married with a wife and four children. I work as an administrative Secretary to STANDARD SECURITY AND SERVICES LTD. in Accra-Ghana.
I got the information concerning you from the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and after due consultation with my spiritual adviser, I decided to contact you believing that by the grace of God, you will accept to be my partner in this business. I earn a salary of ¢1.8M – 200 USD equivalent monthly. I joined the services of this company in 1991 as an office assistant. I have been working with this company for nine years. Within this period, I have watched with meticulous precision how African Heads of States and government functionaries have been using STANDARD SECURITIES to move huge sums of money USD, Pound Sterling, French France – (Cash) to their foreign partners. They bring in these consignments of money cash and secretly declare the contents as jewelleries, gold, diamond, precious stones, family treasure, documents etc. Gen. Sani Abacha of Nigeria (dead), Mobutu Sesse Seko of Zaire (dead) Foday Sankoh of Sierra – Leone. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida(Rtd.) of Nigeria etc.
All these people have hundreds of consignments deposited with STANDARD SECURITIES. Their foreign partners, friends and relatives, are claiming most of these consignments. A lot of them are lying here unclaimed for as much as 15 yrs. No body may ever come for them because in most cases, the documents of deposit are never available to any body except the depositors most of them dead. Since the inception of the 2000 millennium, STANDARD SECURITIES MANAGEMENT changed the procedure of claims of consignments. As soon as you are able to produce all the secret information as contained in the secret file of any consignment, it will be released to you upon demand. From our record, more than 120 consignments belonging to Gen Abacha / Mobutu Sese Seko, has been claimed in the past six months. This is why I am soliciting for your co-operation and assistance.
Late Gen. Abacha has 85 consignments deposited with several names and codes. 35 have been claimed in the past six months. Since he’s dead, his first son is dead in a plane crash, the second son is facing trial for murder and embezzlement, the family members are under restricted arrest without communication. I have finished every arrangement for you to come and claim consignment No 1200 containing USD 9M and consignment No 1201 containing USD15.My duty is to supply you with all the information and documents by fax. You will deal directly with the management. The procedure is simple: -
You will apply officially to the Director of Operations of STANDARD SECURITIES for the release of consignment No 1200 and No 1201. They will demand some documents and secret codes. You will then Call me, I’ll supply you with every detailed information. Fax it to them. As soon as they are confirmed correct. They will invite you for the collection. If you do not want to come to Accra, you can arrange with them to transfer the consignment to anywhere on agreement.
No body will ever know I am involved in the deal except the Lawyer who will write an agreement for us. I’ll suggest upon conclusion we share 50 – 50. At the successful conclusion of the deal, you’ll arrange for me and my family to come over to your country. I assure you that the business have been hatched for 5 Years now, it is very secure and risk free. You can get back to me on this same e-mail or to my alternative e-mail address: ………………………………………………………for further Explanations and directives on the procedure. I have secured a telephone number purely for this transaction. Always call me on the number
