Subject: HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL

DIRECTOR DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
TRANSWORLD SECURITIES, SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/CEO
I am Mr. RAYMOND BANDA, the Director of
Delivery/Operations, Transworld Securities, South
Africa. Our firm is a security company of high repute
with years of outstanding service to the people of
Africa especially top government official’s 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 secret. To be explicit and
straight to the point. Some time 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 bide
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
dethroned in the same year the consignment was
entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client
President MOBUTUO SESESEKUO, 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 treasure by our client actually
contained a considerable amount of money in United
States Dollars amounting to about US$16.5(sixteen
million five hundred thousand US Dollar). Since this
development I have been nursing plans secretly.
I also found out from inquiries and the foreign media
that our late client syphoned 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 syphoned 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 my receipt of your reply confirming your
willingness to assist me of 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 through my email address and
telephone number as abovewritten.
Yours faithfully.
MR. RAYMOND BANDA
