Subject: urgent bussiness proposal
From Mohamed Secker The Gambia,
Dear Director,
I am Mr Mohamed Secker Accounts supervisor with National
Bank,Freetown, Sierra Leone. I have urgent and very
confidential business proposition for you. On June 6, 1999,
a Foreign Diamond consultant/contractor with the Sierra
Leonean National Diamond Corporation, Mr.Simon Kelly made a
numbered time (Fixed) Deposit for twelve calendar months,
valued at SD$14,000,000.00, [Fourtheen million]
in my branch. Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification
to his forwarding address but got no reply. After a month,
I sent a reminder and finally I discovered
from his contract employers, the Sierra Leone National
Diamond Corporation that Mr. Simon Kelly died from a rebel
attack. On further investigation, I found out that he died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next
of kin was fruitless. I therefore made further
investigation and discovered that Mr. Simon Ke lly did not
declare any kin or relations in all his official documents,
including his Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of
USD$14,000,000.00 has carefully/confidentially been moved
out of my bank to a Finance security company in the Gambia
for safekeeping. No one can ever come forward to claim it.
According to Sierra Leonean Law, at the expiration of 8
(eight) years,the money will revert to the ownership
of the Sierra Leone Government if nobody applies to claim
the fun d. Consequently, my proposal is that I want you as
a Foreigner to stand in as the rightful owner of the money.
I deposited it in a security company in two trunk boxes
though the security company does not know the contents of
the boxes as I tagged them to be photographic materials for
export. In the circumstance, I want to present you as the
rightful owner of the boxes in the security company so that
you can be able to claim them with the help of my attorney.
This is simple. I would like you to provide immediately your
full names and address as well as your direct telephone and
fax number so that the Attorney will prepare the necessary
documents which will put you in the right place as the owner
of the boxes. The money will be moved out for us to your
country and share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for
you and 10% for any expencies that may occour.There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this
transaction will be done by the Attorney and this will
guarantees the successful execution of this transaction on
your behalf, please reply immediately via my email address.
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more
details and relevant documents that will help you understand
the transaction and swing into the necessary action while I
confide in you hoping you will not betray me at last.
Thanks and God bless
Mr Mohamed Secker
