Dear,Sir,
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.Elhadji Dieye(Chief Executive Officer) of trust bond
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 Germany, Late Engr. John Venema (Snr.) a precious
stone (Diamond) Merchant with THE UNITA rebel movement of Angola, until his
death in August the year 2001, used our services as his fiduciary agent and
account trustees and had a closing balance as at the end of September,2001
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, Reply only to my
Private Email Address:elhadjidieye01@netscape.net.
Thanks
Best Regards,
MR.Elhadji Dieye.
Chief Executive Officer trust bond,Dakar-Senegal.
