Subject: VERY URGENT.
Dear,Sir/Mam,
First, I must apologize if my mode of first contact is not acceptable to
you and also solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue
of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know
that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried,but
I am assuring you that you do have anything to worry as I have perfected
every arrangement with my colleague . I have decided to contact you due
to the urgency of this transaction, as I am aware of the high sense of
responsibility placed on you and believe in your discreetness and ability
to handle transaction of this nature. Let me start by introducing myself
properly to you.I am MR.JAMES.C.OKO (Chief Executive Officer) of MODERNE
ASSET DISCOUNT AND MANAGEMENT DAKAR-SENEGAL.
I came to know and pick on you in my Private Search for a Reliable and Reputable
Person to handle this Confidential transaction, which involves the appropriation
and transfer of certain amount of Money to a Foreign Account requiring
Maximum Confidence.
Please the objective of this letter is to first ascertain your sincerity
after your perusal of this proposition, reason being I lost a lot of money
through a similar transaction in the past being that a trusted partner
from Switerland disappeared into tiny air after I transaferred to his custody
a huge amount of money.And I have learnt my lession. Please assure me of
this in your reply.
THE PROPOSITION:
A Foreigner from Canada, Late Engr. John Venema (Snr.) a precious stone
(Diamond) Merchant with THE UNITA rebel movement of Angola, until his
death in August the year 2000, used our services as his fiduciary agent
and account trustees and had a closing balance as at the end of September,2000
worth US$42,000,000.00(Forty two million United States Dollars only),our
firm now expects a next of kin as beneficiary. Valuable efforts are being
made by this firm to get in touch with any of the Venema's Family or Relatives
but to no success since then.
It is because of the perceived possibility of not being able to locate any
of Late Engr. John Venema(Snr.)'s next of kin (He had no wife or children
that is known to us).
The management under the influence of Our Chairman and Few influencial
Members of the Board of Directors, has instructed that arrangement be made
for the fund to be declared "Unclaimed" and subsequently be donated to yet
to be specified trust fund.I strongly believe the chairman might be up to
something funny with his group.
In order to avert this development that will not take care of my interest,one
of my trusted colleague and I who are anticipating interest now seek your
permission to have you stand as the next of kin to Late Engr. John Venema
(Snr.) so that the fund US$42,000,000.00 will be released and paid into
your account as the beneficiary's next of kin. All documents and proofs
to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked out.
We have secured from the probate an order of mandamus suspending declaring
the money as unclaimed with limited time to locate any of the deceased beneficiary's
next of kin, and moreso we are assuring you that this business is 100% risk
free involvement.
Your share stays while the rest be for myself and my colleague for
investment purposes, according to the agreement we shall reach mutually.
As soon as we receive an acknowledgement of receipt of this message in acceptance
of our mutual business proposal, we would furnish you with the two options/modalities
we have carefully perfected for you to choose from with our insider information
depending on your convenience to accomplish the project and disbursement
ratio to suit both parties without any conflict.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please do not make undue advantage
of the trust we are to bestow on you,Your early response to this matter
is needed and I expect you to send your Reply only to my Private Email Address:jamesccoko@yahoo.com.
Thanks and God bless.
Best Regards,
MR.JAMES.C.OKO - Chief Executive Officer Moderne Asset Discount and
Management,Dakar-Senegal.
