Subject: Confidentiality Coop
Dear VICTIMNAME,
Thanks for your response to my proposal. It would be a pleasure working with you on this project to secure and invest the funds in your country, for mutual benefits.
I know your face and you father on the television and i will be happy to work this out with if you can trust me. but i am assuring you is legitimate
The money we are transferring belongs to me and two partners all living here in Banjul, Gambia. I have their mandate to coordinate the confidentiality cooperation between us and you for transfer and investment of the funds. Two of my partners are from Sierra Leone and used to work in the Diamond Mining Corporation in that country. The money was acquired from private diamond sale deals carried out over the years between some overseas buyers and ourselves. It is all from clean and legitimate source. However, due to the peculiarities of Africa as a result of frequent changes in government and incidents of civil wars, like most other people here do, the money has been waiting to be transferred overseas for investment.
I am aware this kind of confidentiality transaction is not something one comes across every time in your Western world, but anyone who has had extensive dealings with African countries would not find it strange. Discrete money transfers have always been carried out by top officials in Africa in collaboration with silent partners just as you are to us now. We are desirous of proceeding an honest and mutually rewarding relationship with you whereby you assist us to receive and invest this funds in America.
Surely, I know we are taking a risk by dealing with somebody unknown to us. However, in our present situation, for the sake of maintaining confidentiality of the transaction, we have no choice than to put our fate in the human trust for each other. Sometimes in business, one cannot help but to trust and hope for positive result. We cannot transfer this fund to an offshore account in our own names, due to the laws here in my country.
As soon as we commence the transaction, it will only take us seven working days to have the money transfer to your account, relevant documents of title and full disclosure for the funds will be obtained in your name and copies made available to you. Your responsibility will be to act as our overseas associate, provide a suitable bank account under your control into which we process the transfer. You receive the funds, take out the offered commission of 20% and make the rest of money available to be invested in your country for benefit of me and my partners.
Having made these explanations, I therefore look forward to a rewarding relationship with you, bound by friendship and mutual respect for each other’s interest, while I await your prompt response.
The reason why we are giving you this percentage is for you to be able to take care of any tax that arise there in your country as the money hit your account
All we need from you is a new bank account not your own personal account details and your personal phone and fax number As Follows including means of identification e.g diplomatic passport or drivers liencence
bank name
bank address
account number
aba number
account name
The bank handling the transaction is in canada ans soon as i get all this information from you i will ask them to contact you as the beneficiary of the money.
All document relating to this transaction will be obtain from our central bank and be sent to you for your record,
My local telephone (220 4 481 205) is difficult to reach from outside my country,
But presently i am putting a satilite phone together for this transaction and will let you have the number
Mapalla John.
