Subject: AN INVESTMENT IN YOUR COMPANY
FROM: MR. ADAMS KABELO
DIRECTOR, DELIVERY/OPERATIONS
RE: TRANSFER OF OVER US$15M FOR INVESTMENT.
I am Mr. ADAMS KABELO, the Director of Delivery/Operations in a security
company here in 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. I have not discussed this transaction with
anybody because it is of top secret.
To be explicit and straight to the point, Sometime late 1999, 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 bid to contact this client to redeem the
demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our
client was MR MORRIS THOMPSON a prominent businessman in the United States
of America and a major foreign contractor to South African government, who
died in a plane crash early 2000.You can view the websits below for more
information.

More details about the deceased himself, you can check on
(http://www.nativefederation.org/history/people/mThompson.html)
.
Since the death of our client MR MORRIS THOMPSON, none of his benefactors
has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that none of
his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I secretly scanned the box that our client deposited
in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the metal box that were
registered as treasures by our client actually contained a considerable
amount of money in United States Dollars estimated to be over US$15million
US Dollar.
Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly to solicit for a
foreign partner who will stand as the beneficiary of the deposit in our
company’s custody. I now request your noble assistance in retrieving the
consignment funds from the security company for onward transfer of the funds
out of South Africa to your country for immediate investment under your
trustee.
I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 25% of the total
amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist
me with 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. If interested, furnish me with your contact
telephone number to enable us speak further on this transaction
I await your most prompt response.
Yours faithfully.
Mr Adams Kabelo
