FIRST SECURITIES DISCOUNT HOUSE LIMITED
FROM THE DESK OF MR JAMES ANGULU.
DEAR SirMa
I am MR JAMES ANGULU, (jamesangulu@myway.com)The director Of Operations,
FIRST SECURITIES DISCOUNT HOUSE LIMITED, JOHANNESBURG,
here in SOUTH AFRICA.Our firm is a security company of high repute with
years of outstanding service to the people of SOUTH
AFRICA.I have resolved to contact you through this medium
based on business proposal that will of mutual
benefit to both of us. I have not discussed this
transaction with anybody because of its top secret. To
be explicit and straight to the point. Sometime, early
last 1997; a reputable clients 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 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 the Federal Republic of Zaire,
who died of illness after he was de-throned in the
same year the consignment was entrusted into our care.
Since the death of our client, President Mobutou
Seseseko, none of his benefactors has come forward to
claim the consignment with us, which means that non
of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this
consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to
secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited
in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that
the two boxes that were registered as treasurer by our
client actually contained a considerable amount of
money in United States Dollars amounting to about
US$30million Dollar. Since this development I have
been nursing plans secretly. I also found out from
enquiries and the foreign media that our 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
that our client siphoned and now that he is dead
there is no trace to this money in our care. I am now
soliciting your noble assistance to assistant me in
transferring this money out of South Africa to your
country form immediate investment with your
assistance. I have also decided that you will
generously be entitled to 30% of the total amount.
Upon the receipt of your reply 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 funs to your country.
Secondly, I will arrange for the consignment already
labelled as family treasure to be lifted by
diplomatic means to our security company's
correspondence in oversea where I will meet you. You
have nothing
to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in
anyway necessary
with all paper documentation. This transaction is 100%
risk free.(jamesangulu@myway.com)

MR JAMES ANGULU
