Subject: Your Attention
FROM: FERDINAND NGOMA
DIRECTOR, DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
RE: TRANSFER OF OVER US$15M FOR INVESTMENT.
MR. FERDINAND NGOMA, the Director of Delivery/Operations in a security
company here in South Africa. Our firm is a security company of high
repute with years of outstanding service to the people of 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 to both of us. I have
not discussed this transaction with anybody because it is of top ecret.
To be explicit and straight to the point, Some time early 2001, 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 Mr Nuhan Vaye,Deputy Minister
of public Works,Republic of Liberia, who was Killed by Former Liberian
President CHARLES TAYLOR on July 14th 2003 on allegation of being an
accessory after the fact of a coup Plot.
see :http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2003-07-15-liberia_x.htm
Since the death of our client Mr Nuhan Vaye, none of his benefactors
has come orward to claim the consignment with us, which means that non
of his relatives or aids had any nowledge of this consignment. Hence
out of curiosity I decided to secretly scan,using a sophisticated
scanning machine, the box that our client deposited in our vault. And
to my surprise I discovered that the box that wasregistered as
treasures by our client actually contained a considerable amount of
money in United States Dollars estimated to be over $15million US
dollars. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly to
move the consignment out of the security vault. I also found out from
enquiries and the foreign media that our late client was used by the
Former Liberian President to siphon a lot of money from his country
while he was in office as the President Of Liberia . It is my
conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that
our client siphoned out For charles Taylor but was not able to hand it
over before he was Killed.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 40% of the
total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness
to assist me in 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 for onwards investment. This transaction is 100% risk
free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on
this matter.
I await your most prompt response.
Yours faithfully.
FERDINAND NGOMA
