PREMIER SECURITIES,JOHANNESBURG

Dear,
TRANSFER OF US$25.5M FOR INVESTMENT.
.I am Mr.Julius Adams ,the Director of delivery/Operations Premier Securities,South
Africa.Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa especially top government officials and military leaders here 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.
To be explicit and straight to the point.Some time early 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 considerable amount of money in demurrage.
Consequently,in our bide to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated I discovered that our client was the former president of the Federal Republic of Zaire,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
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 box that our client deposited in our vault.And to my surprise I discovered that the box that were egistered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars
amounting to about US$25.5million US Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of South Africa to your country for immediate investment with your assistance.I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 40% of the total amount.Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction,I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country for onwards investment.
This transaction is 100%risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter. I await your most prompt response through my telephone number or my mailbox.
Yours faithfully.
MR.Julius Adams.
