DIRECTOR, DELIVERY/OPERATIONS, TRANSWORLD SECURITIES,MADRID SPAIN
RE:TRANSFER OF US$25.5 M FOR INVESTMENT.
I am SR PHILLIP SANCHEZ, the director of delivery/Operations Tran world
Securities, Madrid Spain. Our firm is a company of high repute with
years of outstanding services, especially top Government officials and
military leaders 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 early
2000 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, has accumulated a
considerable amount of money. 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
Federation 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 Mobutu Seseseko, none of his
benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which
means that non of his relatives or aids has 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 boxes that were registered as treasure by our
client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United
States Dollars amounting to about US$25.5 million US Dollars.
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 assist me in transferring
this money out of Madrid Spain to your country for immediate
investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will
generously be entitled to 35 % while 55% will be for me and 10% for
taxation and miscellaneous expenses of the total amount. Upon my
receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me, 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
confidential on this matter. I await your most prompt response through
my telephone+34616826749 or e-mail address. srphillipsanchez@myway.com
Yours faithfully
Sr. Phillip Sanchez.
