Subject: GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY
Dear Friend,
Having obtained your contact from my internet search I deemed it
necessary to contact you on this very impotant transtion that deserve your
trust. Coupled with my deep interest to invest in your country, I decided
to contact and solicit your mutual assistance on this golden
opportunity. I must apologies for taking some of your valuable time to explain
a
proposal that I imagine will
be of utmost benefit.
My name is Mr John Dasuki a Custom Officer(Deputy Controller) attached
to the Apapa Wharf in Lagos-Nigeria, and presently in a dillema about
what to do on a large Consignment we intercepted at the harbour about
two Months ago. If I was told this, I would never have believed even
considering the wide spread of scams and frauds rocking Africa and other
Countries alike. After the inspection of the seizure we discovered it
contained a large amount
of money believed to have diverted from the Government coffers by
Politicians,totalling 8.5 Million USD and was on it's way to the Overseas
for their cronies. The beneficiary was a Brazilian businessman who have
since denied the Consignment.
This consignment unbelievably was declared by these faceless people as
artifacts. We have started thinking of taking over the seizure as we
feel there will not be any reward after all and will only end up in
another mans pocket as these have always been the case in this
Country. We have placed the consificated Fund in an account with one of
our commercial Bank, awaiting for an offshore account where it will be
moved to. What I want from you is a safe offshore account where we can
effectively transfer this money to and conveniently
reclaim it after wards. We shall make provisions for any
inconveniences we may cause you. Honestly such situations have been
occurring but I have never witnessed any and I have always dismissed them
as scams until now that I have witnessed it myself.
I and my colleagues are working round the clock to effect a hitch free
transaction by God's grace. I have a personal telephone line that you
can reach me, I've never seen anything like these before. Please give me
your views for security reasons. I have to hold on to other vital
information for now.
I want to know where you are now,your age and occupation because i
don't want to deal with a minor but a matured person who can hold Fund on
trust for my after the claim and direct us on how we can make a
profitable investment anywhere in the world without exposing
anything about the transaction.
Kindly confirm your interest through my email address;
johndasuki@bankersmail.com OR chambers@bankersmail.com
Best Regards,
Mr John Dasuki.
