Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Daniel Hamenya Jr. I am a collage student of London School of
Economics, U.K. I am compelled to contact you concerning a business deal,
which I believe will be beneficial to you and me. My father, His Excellency,
Ambassador Fernandez Hamenya was a diplomat. In his lifetime, he was an
Ambassador emeritus. While in office, he was highly connected because of his
expertise in transferring money to coded accounts for important Clients at
short notices and without detection. Due to his connections in high places,
at the end of his tenure as an Ambassador, he became acquainted with
important African leaders, politicians etc who patronized him to help them
transfer money out of Africa and this he did with relative ease.
I was quite close to him and was privy to his business deals because he used
to confide in me. I was also aware of his numerous trips to Europe and the
Americans to make large cash deposits in several Banks. Recently, my father
came to England en route Liechtenstein to make large cash deposits for one
of his clients. We met on July 6th, 2005 at his hotel room and on July 7th,
2005, I learnt that he was one of the victims of the London Terror attack.
After the recovery of his body, I and my other siblings were making
arrangements for his burial when on July 27th, 2005, one of the Embassy’s
staff contacted me and informed me that my late father took him into
confidence and told him of some boxes kept at the Embassy’s storage house.
The Staff also informed me that now that my father was dead, he had no
option than to hand the boxes over to me. Upon collecting the boxes, I
opened it and to my surprise, it contains large sum of money to the Value of
US$84 Million Dollars. I quickly close the boxes and left it there as the
embassy storage house did not know what the content in the boxes is.
My problem now is how to move this money out of the U.K. into a designated
Bank account. I have tried to use my late father’s old routes to transfer it
but met a brick wall and that is why I have decided to seek for external
assistance in the matter. I can assure you that this business is 100% risk
free, as my late father’s Clients who owns the money would never suspect
that I am involved. For your assistance I will offer you 20% of the total
sum, for your assistance so please get back to me as soon as possible to
enable me give you the details on how we are going to proceed.
1: Full name
2: Direct telephone/fax numbers
I eagerly await your urgent response
Yours truly,
Daniel Hamenya Jnr.
