Subject: FROM:MR.WAYNE OSMOND BHUTELEZI

Dear sir;

My name is Mr Wayne Osmond Bhutelezi, I hail from the Republic of South Africa,
41 years, married with three children. I am the Diretor of Global Security
& Finance Services Limited South Africa. I got the information concerning
you from the foreign department of our chamber of commerce and after due
consideration, I decided to contact you believing that by the Grace of God,
that you will not disappoint me over this deal.

I have been working with this company for over fifteen years. Within this
period, I have watched with meticulous precision how African Heads of State
and Government functionaries have been using Global Security & Finance Ltd
to move sums of money USD, Pounds Sterling, French Francs (cash) to their
foreign partners. They bring in these consignments of cash and secretly declare
the contents as jewelries, golds,diamonds, precious stones, family treasures,
etc. Their foreign partners, friends and relatives are claiming most of these
consignments. A lot of them are lying here unclaimed for as much as five
years. Nobody will ever come for them because in most cases, the Certificate
of Deposit are never available to anybody except the depositors or me since
most of them are dead.

I have through the instrumentality of Global Security & Finance re-deposited
all these unclaimed and overstayed consignment into the Vault Facility of
a reputable Security Company in Europe.

Since the inception of the year 2002, our company's management has changed
the procedure of claims of consignment, as soon as you are able to produce
the secret information as contained in the secret file of any consignment,
it will be released to you upon demand.I have finalized every arrangement
for you to claim consignment No. 1401, 1402 containing $30 Million. I will
supply you with all the information and documents that will facilitate your
easy claim of the consignment.Upon your positive reply of this letter, I
will furnish you with further details and information regarding the modus
operandi for the execution of the transaction.

This business is risk free as I have taken necessary preventive measures.The
mode of sharing will be eqaul, you can reach me by email and I will direct
you on what to do.Upon your positive consideration and reply of this letter
I shall give you a confidential telephone number with which we can discuss
the execution of the business.

Expedite action.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Wayne Osmond Bhutelezi.
