Subject: HELLO
Hello,
It may come to you as a surprise hearing from me, but to be precise I
got
your data from the e-mail site member directory in my search for a
competent
business manager/hard working person who is willing and able to be my
friend
and partner, to liaise with me in order to execute a project which I am
convinced that you are capable and trusted to do
this business with me.
I am RONALD VAN BURT,I work with ALL ROUND SECURITY & FINANCE COMPANY
AMSTERDAM,HOLLAND. I have now developed the interest in having a
business
investment outside Amsterdam without my employers knowing about it.
Hence I
contacted you for friendship and mutual business relationship.
The fund in question proposed for this project is $6.8million which I
will
like you to receive on my behalf and to invest it in your business or
in any
business that you think will be profitable in your country.
Please Note: This fund came as a result of a multi-national company
that we
helped to secure an oil drilling contract some years ago. Because of
our
interest, the contract was over-invoiced to the above mentioned amount
and
after the contract, the company received their actual contract sum and
went
back to their country leaving behind this over-inflated sum for me and
my
colleagues to claim.
Now the time has come for me to process and move the fund out for
investment, but I can not do it on my own since I am still working with
ALL
ROUND SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY. This is why I need your help so
that I
can use you or your company to process the release of the fund as it
was
deposited as valuable items in a CONSIGNMENT at ALL ROUND SECURITY AND
FINANCE COMPANY.
Please let me know about yourself/company and also let me know if you
can be
able to receive the CONSIGNMENT on my behalf and invest it in your
company
or any good and profitable business in your country without exposing
me, so
that we can commence with the process of transfer.All you need to send
immediately is your FULL NAMES or COMPANY NAME and your TELEPHONE/FAX
NUMBERS,AGE,OCCUPATION AND CONTACT ADDRESS and Your share will be 30%
for
your assistance, while I and my colleagues will take 65% and 5% will
take
care of any expenses that will be incurred in the transfer of the said
CONSIGNMENT
Please write back if only you know you are capable enough to execute
this
project with me. Please this transaction requires utmost
confidentiality.
Looking forward to your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
RONALD VAN BURT
