Dear Friend,
First let me use this medium to introduce myself.I am Mr.Felix Domingos, the
Manager of the Vault and Treasury Department of Coastal Security
Company,Luanda,Angola.
On the 24th of June,2000,a consignment was Lodged at Our Company by
Mr.Andrew Smith,A Zimbabwean Farmer who fled Zimbabwe for Angola due to the
constant harrassment and Intimidation of White Farmers by President Robert
Mugabe.Two Years Later We were informed by His Wife Mrs. Mildred Smith that
her Husband Died died after a protracted illness.
Following the Death of her Husband,she instructed our Company to Move the
Consignment via Diplomatic Means to Our Affiliate Security Company in
London,United Kingdom so as to enable her Claim the Consignment,which was
effected by our Company.
One Year after the Consignment was moved to the United Kingdom,We were
informed by her Attorney,Barrister Luis Da Silva that she died at the
Edgewood Centre in Portsmouth,United Kingdom and Consequently,Copy of her
Death Certificate was sent to us.
The Consignment have remained unclaimed since her death,and such unclaimed
Consignment are appropriated and returned back to the treasury Department of
Coastal Security Company,Luanda,Angola as a matter of our Correspondence
Service agreement with the Security Company in London.
By Virtue of my Position as the Manager of the Vault and Treasury Department
of Coastal Security Company,I discovered during one of my routine Checks
that the Content of the Consignment where not actually Personal Effects and
Family Treasures which was what Her late Husband Declared on the Consignment
Deposit Agreement with our Company but rather the consignment contains
Twelve Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$12,500,000.00)
Cash and important documents of property title.
Consequently,As one of the Officials that monitored the Delivery of the
Consignment,I decided to seek the Consent and assistance of a credible
individual that will act as Proxy/Relative so that this Funds can be
released to you.I am contacting you for two reasons.
Firstly,because of the responsibility which you handle, which will make the
claim most credible.
Secondly,Her Deed of Will and Testament contains a residuary clause,giving
her lawyer full authority to nominate the Beneficiary to her Residuary
Estate.
The lawyer is aware of this whole process and will confirm you as the next
of kin/Beneficiary to my late customer when it becomes necessary.As soon as
this is done, you will give further instructions to transfer the deposited
funds into an account you will provide, after which we shall then share the
funds upon agreed terms.
When I receive your response with your private telephone and fax for more
confidential discussions,I will provide you with further details.
Respond to my Private email : domingos_me@yahoo.com
Thank you for your understanding.
Mr.Felix Domingos.
