PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am DR ALEXANDRA KUMA the chief auditor of NED BANK South Africa. I got
your contact address from your country’s Trade Journal. Your impressive and
managerial records made me to solicit for your partnership in these regards.
You are the only person that I have contacted in this business with the
believe that you will not let me down. After going through some old files in
the records department, I discovered that there is an account opened in this
bank in 1994 and since then, no body has operated on this account.
The owner of this account is late GENERAL.SANI, ABACHA. The Nigerian
former head of state and he died since 1997. Up till now, no other person
knows about this account or anything concerning it, the account has no
other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this
country does not know anything about this account and the amount, involved
is US$ 80 Million
( EIGHTY Million United State Dollars) I want to first transfer US$40
Million (Forty Million United States Dollars) from the money into a safe
foreign account abroad before the rest, but I’ve not gotten a trusted
foreigner.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a local bank here, but can be approved to any foreign account
because the money is in US dollars and the former owner of the account late
GENERAL SANI,ABACHA. was a foreigner and because of that I need to involve
a foreign account, I need your full co-operation to make this work smoothly
because the management is ready to approve this payment to whoever that has
correct information to this account. Of which I will give to you later, if
you are able to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust according
to my instruction and advice for our mutual benefits because this
opportunity will never come again in my life.
I need your strong assurance, trust and reliability. With my position now in
the office, I can transfer this money to any reliable account, which you can
provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical
arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of
transaction immediately we receive this money, leaving no trace of any. You
can also come to discuss with me face-to-face then the remittance will be
made in the presence of both of us.
Then we will fly to your country at least two days ahead before the money
gets into your account. I have the tendency to invest my own share of the
money in your country in expectation to sound management and good capital
returns according to your advice. Be assured that you stand no risk of
any kind as the fund belongs to us now. Therefore, after the eventual stage
of the transfer of this fund, I am offering you 35% of the total fund, 60%
will be for me while 5% will be set aside for expenses that might incur
during the course of this transaction OR you can call me to discuss
on the percentage if this did not go well with you.
I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this fund other
business ventures will derive a huge success thereafter. I will use my
position to influence to effect approvals for onward transfer of this money
to your account with appropriate clearance forms from the ministries
and foreign exchange department. I am counting on your sense of
confidentiality, as it is my desire to keep this to yourself.
Looking forward to your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Dr. Alexandra Kuma.
