Subject: INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
Dear sir
Greetings to you and your family .
Do not be surprise to receive this kind of letter from a
total stranger. I got your contact information from South
African Information Exchange(S.A.I.E).
I am Engr. DAVID ZUMA, the director of delivery and
operations Coin Security (pty) ltd, here in South Africa.
To be very explicit and straight, some time early 1997,a
reputable client of ours deposited consignment in our
company’s vault , for safekeeping. Ever since then
our client has failed to come forward to claim his
consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of
money in demurrage. In our bid to contact this client to
redeem the demurrage which had consignment had accumulated,
we discovered that our client was the former President of
the Federal Republic of Zaire presently called the
democratic republic of Congo (D.R.C), who died of illness
after he was dethroned in the same year.
Since the death of our client President Mobutou Seseseko,
none of his benefactors has come forward to put up claims
with us up till now, which implies that there is no next of
kin.
However when I secretly opened the consignment out of
curiosity ,to my greatest surprise I discovered that the
boxes registered as family treasure contained a huge sum of
money amounting to about TWENTY MILLION US DOLLARS AND
DIAMOND with insurance.
Further enquries and reports form foreign media reveals
that out late client siphoned lots of money from his
country, while he was in office as head of state. It even
made a head lines on CNN that over three billion dollars
was found in his Swiss account strongly believed that the
consignment in our vault was part of the money siphoned by
our client.
There is no risk involved in this transactions.
All I needed you to do is to come down and represent as the
beneficiary of the consignment. I will immediately arrange
and transfer all the right of ownership of the consignment
to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer
of the fund to your account for investment.
I shall furnish you with full detailed information as soon
as I receive your full detailed profile.
Please let trust, honesty and confidentiality be our
watch-word while I wait for your urgent responses.
Your faithfully
DAVID ZUMA
