DR CHRIS NBA,DIRECTOR
GLOBAL SECURITY COMPANY
[G.S.C]LIMITED
2/3 INTERNATIONAL AIR PORT
ROAD LAGAO NIGERIA
TELE;234-1-4353389.
TRANSFER OF US$7 MILLION FOR INVESTMEN.
I am Dr Chris Nba the Director of Delivery/Operations in the above mentioned
Security Company. Our firm is a security company of high repute with years
of outstanding service to the people of Africa,europe especially top
government officials and military leaders 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 in 2000, a
reputable client o four , 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 bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage
which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the
former President of Zaire, who died of illness after he was dethroned in the
same year.The consignment was entrusted into our care. Before the death of
our client, President Mobutu Seseseko, none of his benefactors has come
forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that none of his
relation or aides had any knowledge of this consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly scan the box that our client
deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the box, that
was registered as treasures by our client, actually contained a considerable
amount of money in United State Dollars, amounting to US$7 Million,for this
reason I quickly paid the demurrage, Since this development I have been
nursing plans secretly.
I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that the late client
siphoned 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 our cleint siphoned and now that he is dead there is no trace of this
money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in
transferring this money out of Nigeria 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 confirming your willingness to assist me of
this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the right of
ownership of this consignment to your name, to facilitate your easy
clearance and transfer of the complete fund to your country for onward
investment.This transaction is 100% risk free. I await your most prompt
response.
NOTE THAT THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS TRUST AND BELIEVE.
I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON AS YOU READ THIS.
Yours Faithfuly,
Dr.Chris Nba
