DEAR Erzsebet,
IF THIS MESSAGE COMES TO YOU IN ERROR PLEASE NEGLECT IT,AND DO NOT
TRANSCRIBE OR DESPATCH TO ANOTHER PERSON TO WHOM THIS MESSAGE IS NOT DIRECTED
TO.MORESO IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE CONTENT OF THIS MESSAGE PLEASE CONTACT
ME BY SAYING NO SO AS TO SAVE ME THE AGONY OF A LONG WAIT.
I am MR MR.MAX UZOMA, one of the directors of a security company
vault in lome Togo West Africa.In 1998 there was a client,friend and confidant
of mine who died in fire incident with his wife and children.The fire totally
razed his apartment leaving nothing.
His last name coincided with your last name hence i decided to
contact you. Prior to his death, I was his confidant who held a lot
of issues in trust for him including his bank account,certificate of
deposits of hisconsignment in the security company vault.
My late friend died intestate ( without a will ) leaving no authority
to a next of kin thereby making his treasures vulnerable to claim by
any person with documentary evidence of his tota fund USD18.5million .
Shortly before his death he deposited a trunk box in my company
confiding in me the real content .On my company declaration form he
declared that the box contained family treasure.So only me knows the real
content of the consignment he deposited in our vault. In my country
there is government fiscal policy on dormant or unserviced accounts in
the banks and security companies vaults for a perio d of 7 years .
After such period the accounts are frozen and for consignent at the
security companies vaults,they are confiscated to the benefit of corrupt
government officials.
I am presently in possession of all relevant documents to this fund and
avenues through which this fund can be taken out of the country. If
you are interested in this deal, your last name which is same as his
will be presented to the security company which will be used to claim the
fund as a relation of my late friend.
Because OF the fact that you are a foreigner this will be easy to
handle since he was also a foreigner. The procedure being that you will
be
required to provide a bank account into which you will deposit the fund
on the receipt of the
consignment from my company.
In the light of this, an application of claim of inheritance will be
be written and backed with all rel evant documents on your behalf.After
the application has been processed my company will then release the
consignment to you.This can be released to you in two ways;
1.By your being physically present here to collect the consignment.
OR
2. My company WILL deliver it to you as diplomatic luggage via an
associate diplomatic company.
Because of your efforts, Your share will be 30% of the fund
. Finally be assured that i will use my position and connections to
ensure success. I have finished ground work for the smooth execution of
this deal.
TO ASSURE YOU OF MY PERSON,I WILL SEND MY PHOTOGRAPH TO YOU
TRUSTING THAT YOU WILL KEEP THIS ABSOLUTELY SECRET.
Yours sincerely
MR.MAX UZOMA
