ATTN MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO,
DEAR SIR,
I am Mr Frank James, the Director of
Operations FIDELITY SECURITY MERCHANT AND COURIER AGENCY, LAGOS - NIGERIA.
Here in a NIGERIA our firm is a security company of
high repute with years of outstanding service to the
people of 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 got your particulars through a consultant company
base on my research for a trustworthy and established
person that understands investment ethic for entering
into a life time profitable joint partnership
investment and also co-operation with confidence and
trust that you will keep the contents secret and
divulged to any third party.
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 safekeeping.
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 we discovered that our client was the
former President of the Federal Republic of Zaire, who
died of illness after he was de-thrown 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 USD$15 Million
Dollars. Since this development I have been nursing
plans secretly. I also found out from a enquiry’s 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 the money in our care.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me
in transferring this money out of Nigeria to your
Country for immediate investment with your assistance.
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. You have nothing to
worry about, as I will be there to assist you in
anyway necessary with all proper documentation.
This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain
absolute confidentiality on this matter. Please reply
to the above email address with your full information with telephone and fax
so that I can call you.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Frank James.
