Subject: Dear DIRECTOR.
MR. Kenneth Nyerere.
Tel+27 83 722 7768
Dear DIRECTOR,
I do foresee the surprise this letter will bring to you as it comes from a stranger. But rest assured as it comes with best of intentions. However, your address was courtesy of a business journal at the world trade centre in Johannesburg. But after due consideration from your profile, I became aware and assured of your credibility of handling this trust and my future. Thus, after my humble decision to solicit for your understanding and co-operation in this transaction, as it will be beneficial to all of us involved.
My name is Mr. Kenneth Nyerere, from Tanzania. I am the son of the late president of Tanzania JULIUS MWALIMU NYERERE, who died about some years ago. My father used his position then to make for him and us some fortune. My father died after a protracted illness. I was studying overseas when my father died and I was forced to return for the funeral. His attorney notified me and my family about my fathers will with his chambers.
When I was going through the will, I discovered that my father had used his position then to make some money, which he brilliantly transferred and deposited it with a private security company here in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa.
He deposited this consignment as valuables; the security company does not know that this consignment contains cash money, except the attorney and me. The amount is Twenty-Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars {USD28.5 MILLION}
However my aim of contacting you is to help me and take this sum into your nominated account in your country or any past of the world. Secondly, you will also help me look for a profitable investment overseas because I do not have knowledge of international investment. As a result of my present situation, I won¡¯t be able to conclude this transaction alone.
If you are interested in helping me out, try to contact me with this phone and fax numbers {+-27-83-722-7768} indicating your interest to help me, not forgetting your private phone and fax numbers for easier communications. I will then furnish you with more details. I have mutually agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% for expenses in the course of the transaction. Then 75% will remain for my family and I who you will help us invest.
Be informed that this transaction needs almost trust and confidentiality. Note also that the transaction attracts no risk on your side hence all the modalities for safe, smooth and successful transaction have been arranged by me.
Looking up to hear from you urgently.
Thanks and God bless,
MR.KENNETH NYERERE.
