Subject: SOLICITING FOR YOUR URGENT ASSISTANCE
CONFIDENTIAL
Sorry to bother you.This is a business proposal which I believe you might
find of interest, and also to solicit for your assistance.
My name is Mr John Ndoum,I was a high ranking officer of the rebel group
of Southern Angola(UNITA)which was led by the late General Jonas Savimbi
who was shot and killed in february 2002 in a shoot out with Angolan National
army.
At the time of the death of our General,i was in Europe, arranging for the
purchase of military hardware for our army on his behalf, because peace
talks with the government had broken
down and a major offensive by government troops was predicted. Unfortunately
before I could finalize the purchase, the news of his death was announced.
I was suddenly left with US$ 26,000,000.00 (Twenty six million United States
dollars )which was brought into Europe through diplomatic means. I immediately
deposited the money with a safe deposits with security firm and declared
it as a consignment containing,
diplomatic valuables and belonging to my foreign affiliate. I quickly requested
for political asylum in the Nederlands.
This proposal is to inform you that I want to transfer this money out from
the Netherlands into your personal or company bank account as soon as possible
for safe keeping, since my asylum status
here do not permit me to hold such huge amount, it can be frozen if the
source is revealed. I also will like you to assist me in investing my
share of the money in a viable venture.
Please note that this transaction demands the highest degree of trust and
confidentiality between us, moreover , I can assure you that it is risk-
free in the sense that, only three people knew about this money and the
arms purchase i.e, General Savimbi, Capt.John Kowanyi and myself.Unfortunately
The two died the same day in the Government offensive.
I have also taken all proper care of all formalities regarding the safety
and risk-free of this transaction. In appreciation of your assistance ,
I have worked out the sharing ratio for this transaction as follows :
70% will be for me, which you will help me under your guide, to invest
in your country under your close supervision and direction, 25% for your
efforts ( help and assistance), and shall set aside 5%for any upfront expenses
we might incure in the course of this transaction.
Now the civil war is over, a permanent peace treaty has been signed and
the country is united. A general amnesty has been offered to all the freedom
fighters.
The money cannot be traced to me, and I believe now is the right time to
try to locate a partner with a good investment knowledge and start putting
the money into a viable investment venture to secure a good future for my
children.
As I urgently await to hear from you, be informed that all communication
on this transaction shall be confidential. Please, if you'll like to help
me, and to earn the 25%, please send your reply immediately to this my new
email address(johnndoum1@mail2world.com).
Thanks, while i wait for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards ,
John Ndoum.
