Director of operations & delivery
Stallion Securities Company
South Africa
Dear,
I am Mrs. Flora Geneva the director of operations & delivery in the above-mentioned
security company here in South Africa. Our firm is a reputable security
company with years of outstanding services to the people of South Africa,
especially top government officials and military leaders here in Africa.
I have resolved to contact you through this medium based on business proposal
that will be of mutual benefit for both of us. I have not discussed this
transaction with anybody because it is a top secret. To be explicit and
straight to the point, sometime in early 1997, a reputable client of ours
deposited a consignment in our company?s vault for safekeeping. 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 bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage, which his consignment
had accumulated, we discovered that our client was the former president
of Zaire, who died of illness after he was dethrone in the same year.
The consignment was entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client,
president Mobutu Seseseko, none of his benefactors has come forward to claim
the consignment with us, which means that none of his relation or aides
had any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided
to secretly scan the box that our client deposited in our vault. And to
my surprise I discovered that the box that was registered as treasures by
our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States
dollars, amounting to US$65.5m (sixty five million five hundred thousand
united states dollars). Since this development I have been nursing plans
secretly.
i also found out from enquires and foreign medial 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
our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no trace of this money
in our care. i am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring
this money out of south Africa to your country for immediate investment
in your country. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled
to 60% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your
willingness to assist me on this transaction, I will immediately arrange
and transfer all the right of ownership of this consignment to your name,
to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete fund to your
country for onward investment. I need to let you know that there is no risk
involved in this transaction.
I have the believe that with your full assistance this can be done within
a short time, and with unity and honesty we will be able to move forward
in life.I await your most prompt response through my personal e-mail address
as mentioned.

With immense regards
Mrs. Flora Geneva
