STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL URGENT
>From the Desk of: Mr.Samuel okadigbo
Dear Sir,
Do not be surprised about receiving this utmost confidential offer from
somebody you do not know. It is as a result of the urgency and nature
of
the business that made me to contact you in this manner. My name is
Mr.Mr. Samuel okadigbo, a South African National & a senior bank officer
with
one
of the leading banks in South Africa. I am writing this memo following
an
immense opportunity in my office that will be of benefit to us all.
After going through some old files in the record books, we discovered
some
large amount of funds of US$ 14.5M (Fourteen Million five Hundred
Thousand
United States Dollars) lodge in the account of a foreign business man.
The
owner of this account is MR MORRIS THOMPSON, a foreigner from U.S.A; He
was a contractor/consultant to KRUGER MINING (SA) INC a South Africa
Government Own Mining Company.
He died in an air crash along with his family (wife and only daughter)
in
Feb 4th, 2000 in an Alaska Airlines Flight 261 with other passengers on
board. You can confirm this from the website below from publisher by
http://www.cnn.com/2000/US/02/01/alaska.airlines.list/ and this site
for No other person knows about this account or anything concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as
well
that his company does not know anything about this private account in
South Africa.
I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be
approved to a local Bank here, but can only be approved to any foreign
account because the money is in US Dollars and the diseased owner of
the
account is Mr. Morris Thompson is a foreigner too. If we do not remit
these funds out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing to the
Government. Our constraint is to be able to source an honest and
trustworthy individual, to whom we can remit these funds and act as
trustee pending our visit.
I can guarantee you, my colleagues and I are in the position to make
this
opportunity fruitful, provided you can give us the assurance and
guarantee
that our share will be secured and this deal is 100% risk free, keep it
confidential. Visualize this one time opportunity as an indirect
financial
resource; also your area of specialization is not a hindrance. Kindly
contact me by my email above upon your willingness to assisting us.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Samuel okadigbo
