ATTN:Lange,
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON!
YOUR ATTENTION IS REQUIRED ON THIS BUSINESS INVESTMENT FOR THE MATTER
OF URGENCY!
It's my indeed with all pleasure to write you this letter, Though this
message may approach and appears desperate to you, as a difficulties
encountered in efforts to establish your mind on this business in part of
your country since both are complete a strangers. I came to know you on my
private search for you to be reliable as a reputable person to handle this
confidential transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money
in your foreign account that required maximum confidence within us.
I am BARRISTER.DESMONTUTU (Esq.) a solicitor at law. And the personal
attorney to MR.Ima Lange ,a foreign National, meanwhile I came by informing
you that Mr.IMA Lange , was late when he was involved in (AIRCRASH) that
occurred on the Thursday date 9th of Jan, 2003 With an air craft {US Airways
Express Flight 5481} which crashed that Thursday at Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport, killing all 21 aboard passengers were involved as you
can confirm from the website when that incident take place if it is needed
by you.
Before reaching for this information’s all got your contactinformation
through the help of my sister-in-law who works with the American Chambers of
Commerce and Tourism, though I did not disclose to her my humble intention
for an honest foreigner like you, Having noted the confidence reposed on
your person by the sponsor of the recommendation, My late client was as well
a one time secret Agent in transferring on the investment fund overseas for
the late head of state {GENERAL SANI ABACHA}. Mr.Ima Lange , was also an
international contractor that handles Oil and Gas Energy contracting for the
largest Oil Corporation in Africa in London Branch Office.
As time goes Mr.Ima, Deposited a total sum of US$20,000,000.00 {TWENTY
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS} In {SECURITY COMPANY IN LONDON} hoping of
transferring the fund to the UNITED STATE OF AMERICA for a personal
investment as soon as he comes back from conference in USA. While all the
documents information was given to me by him for safe keeping due to the
trust which he head on me in depositing the consignment fund with the
Security company.
After my enquiring in other to locate a member of the Late Mr.Ima's Family
through his country Embassy, as he did not use his country address to secure
the consignment fund with the security Company and that all prove abortive.
That is why I decide to contact you for assistant of repatriating the fund
and properties left behind by the late Mr.Ima, before it will get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Security Company since been his
personal attorney can not prove the next of kin to the client. Particularly,
the {SECURITY COMPANY}, just issued me a notice to provide the {NEXT OF KIN}
or have the Consignment Fund confiscated within the next 30 official working
days from now Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for
the claim, now that I am seeking your honest consent by presenting you as
the {NEXT OF KIN} to the late decease since you’re bearing the same related
surname with the late Mr.Ima, and been a foreigner to my late client, that
is in order to suite the purpose of transferring the fund in your name for
our private investment use. Before we made the attempt to secure the
consignment fund out from the security Company and before then, We have to
agree by using the fund for a personal investment in your country, while
every income will be share as follows, 60% to me and 40% to you.
If this proposal is ok by you do not wish to take undue advantage ofthe
trust fund, I hope to bestow on you and your company, then kindly get to me
immediately and Furnishing me with your most confidential Telephone, Fax
number also your contact home address and all this information is to be

for the release and subsequent transfer of the Funds in your favor.
