Subject: RE: COLLECTION OF FUND (US$72,900,000.00)
Dear Valued Friend,
RE: COLLECTION OF FUND (US$72,900,000.00)
UNDER SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.
Pardon me if I have offended you by contacting you for such a big
transaction through an ordinary letter, which makes it suspicious
considering the type of fraud proposals moving around the world today.
I am Mr. Max Kraft, 63 years old man, a Consultant and Broker.
I was hired by a German Businessman Mr. Peters Werner, to
broker an investment deal between him and an oil company in Venezuela. This
deal was executed in January, 1997 and matured for termination in
January 2001. On maturity, the German Businessman and the oil firm
decided to terminate the investment in cash to avoid payment of
investment tax, which amounted to several tens of millions of US Dollars
to the American Internal Revenue Service (IRS). A special arrangement
was made between a top German banker working with a German bank based in
New York, the Oil Company and the businessman to terminate the
investment in cash payment under a fictitious name, with an arrangement
to change it later with a power of attorney, which they prepared and
handed over to the banker. I was directly involved, well paid and
mandated to organize and carry out the deal. All the cash was withdrawn
in August 2001 and transported to Canada by direct bank vault delivery
to a private diplomatic deposit bank for safekeeping pending
the collection.
The real content of the boxes was not declared to the private diplomatic
deposit bank as it was delivered as personal family treasure
and diamonds. The codes for the deposit, secret codes for the opening of
the boxes and its combination locks were given to me. Mr Peters Werner,
the German businessman was planning to go to Canada by mid November 2001
with me for the collection when the unexpected happened in Sept 9/11
Attacks on the twin tower, which claimed his life and that of the top
banker. This left me devastated and confused as I have not yet handed
over the deposit details to the owner and the power of attorney prepared
for the change which was signed and at the same time was still with the
banker in his office which was lost to the twin towers attacks. It was
agreed with the deposit bank that the consignment would be collected on
or before 12 months from the date of delivery.
Since last December, the diplomatic deposit bank vault manager has been
calling me to bring or tell the owner to come over for collection,I assure
you that this transaction has
been well organized, 100% safe, legal, risk free and should be kept very
confidential. Please contact me for more comprehensive details if you
think we can do this together.
