DIRECTOR DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
CHESTER GLOBAL SECURITIES PLC.
TRANSFER OF FUNDS FOR INVESTMENT.
I am MR JAMES REED the Director of Delivery/Operation CHESTER GLOBAL
SECURITIES PLC, UNITED KINGDOM. Our firm is a security and finance company
of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa
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 with anybody because of it is of top secret. To be explicit and
straight to the point. Some time in 1997,a reputable client of ours
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 huge 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 the Federal Republic of Zaire(Now Republic of Congo)who
died of illness after he was dethroned. In the same year the consignment was
entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client President Mobutu
Seseseko,none of the benefactor has come to claim the consignment with us,
which means that none of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of such
consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the box that was
registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable
amount of money in United States Dollars. Since this development I have been
nursing plans secretly.
I also found out from enquiry's and foreign media that our late client
siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as the head
of state. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of
the money that our client siphoned and now that he is dead, there is no
trace to this money in our care!
I am now soliciting noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money
out of UNITED KINGDOM to your country for immediate investment with your
assistance. I have also decided that you will be generously be entitled to
20% of the total amount.
Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me in
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 funds to your country for onward investment.
This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute CONFIDENTIALITY
in this matter. I await your prompt response through e-mail.If you know you
are interested do send to me your full names and your phone contact.
Hoping my proposal will receive your favorable consideration.

DIRECTOR DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
CHESTER GLOBAL SECURITIES PLC.
