LAGOS, NIGERIA
ATTENTION:SIR/MADAM
I am MR.CHIMA VICTOR, the Director of Operations CHALLENGE SECURITIES
LTD,LAGOS
NIGERIA. Here in NIGERIA Our firm is a security company of high repute with
years of outstanding service to the people of Africa.I have resolved to
contact you through
this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to
both of us.
I got your particulars through a consultant company base on my research
for atrustworthy and established person that understands investment ethic
for entering into a life time profitable joint partnership investment and
also co-operation with confidence and
trust that you will keep the contents secret and divulged to any third
party.
To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable
client of ours deposited a consignment in our company\'s vault for safe
keeping.And since then our client has failed to
come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable
amount of money in demurrage.Consequently, in our bide to contact this
client
to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered
that our client was the
former president of the Federal Republic of Zaire, who died of illness after
he was de-throwed in the same year the consignment was entrusted into our
care.Since the death of our client President Mobutou Seseseko, none of his
benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means
that non of
his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our
client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the
two boxes that were registered as treasurer by our client actually contained
a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about
US$30 million Dollar.Since this development I have been nursing plans
secretly.
I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client
siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as head
of state.It is my conviction that the consignment
in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned and now that
he is dead there is no trace to this money in our care.I am now soliciting
your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of nigeria
to yourcountry for immediate investment with your assistance.I have also
decided
that you will generously been titled to 30% of the total amount.
Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of
this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights
of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy
clearance
and transfer of the
complete funds to your country.
you have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway
necessary with all proper documentation.
This transaction is 100% risk free.Please maintain absolute confidentiality
on this matter.
Please reply to the above email address with your telephone and fax so that
i can call you.
Thanks.
Yours faithfully.
MR.CHIMA VICTOR
