Dear Sir,
I am Dr Temba, The Director of Operations,
FIRST SECURITIES DISCOUNT HOUSE LIMITED, JOHANNESBURG, here in SOUTH AFRICA.
Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding
service to the people of SOUTH 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 have not discussed this
transaction with anybody because of its top secret. To be explicit and straight
to the point. Sometime 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 bid 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-throned 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 family treasurer by our client actually contained a considerable
amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$30million
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 South Africa to your country for immediate
investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will generously
be entitled to 30% of the total amount.
Upon the receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me
of 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 funds to your country.
Secondly, I will arrange for the consignment already labelled as family
treasure to be lifted by diplomatic means to our security company's correspondence
in oversea where I will meet you. You have nothing to worry about, as I
will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all paper documentation.
This transaction is 100% risk free.
WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU URGENTLY
Thanks.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Temba Peter.
