Subject: Thanks for your reply.
Dear Mr.VICTIM-FULLNAME,
I am most grateful for your mail.Let me first introduce myself properly.I am Daniel Lakele Zuma cousin to Jacob Zuma former South Africa president, married with four children.Please I would want you to introduce yourself as in your occupation and position in office,age and marital status.
In my first email I already explained the source of the fund in question and the reason I require your assistance.This mail will serve to give you further details as to how we intend this transaction to be successfully concluded.Note that the stated fund is no longer in an offshore account.The urgency of the matter and the fact that the South African government was fast closing in on the funds made us to quickly get the funds out of the earlier mentioned offshore account.As at now,I have successfully deposited the US$70.5 million dollars with a private security firm in Europe as physical cash.The money was packed into four metallic trunk boxes as physical cash and delivered to Europe where it is now kept in the security vault of the private security company whose details I will provide to you as soon as we reach an agreement to proceed.
It is imperative that you know that my role in this transaction will be very silent considering my status and my relationship with Jacob Zuma.So I implore you to handle this transaction with utmost commitment and very confidential.
I hope you were not too embarrassed by my first email to you since you do not know me.I did not know how to move the funds out without having trouble with the South African internal affairs,so I resulted to putting fate to test and making a random contact.I got your email address from the web email directory and decided to introduce this transaction.I am communicating with only you at this moment with regards to this transaction,and I would not have any cause to do otherwise,except you state your intention to withdraw your assistance.
I am looking for a third party who would stand as the beneficiary to the funds and retrieve it on my behalf from the security and Finance Firm.I can later repossess it after it has been transferred out of there in your name and with your assistance.
All the necessary documents required to get the funds transfered out of the security and finance firm are in my attorney's possession and he will be sending them to you after we must have come to a conclusion and reached an agreement.Not before.
Thus,I would need you to get back to me on the following issues,
1.That you are in a position to be trusted with such a large amount of fund and ready to sign an agreement clearly stating the percentage we will agree on?
2.That you are willing to contact the security and finance firm holding the funds to discuss the terms of releasing and transferring the funds to your nominated bank account and bear the expenses that would be involved.In other words you will have to pay certain charges to the firm for their administrative and handling charges so that they can release the four trunk boxes containing the money to you?
3.That you are in a position to hold and invest 60% of my share if possible on my behalf pending when I am able to meet with you in your country,do note that I have a very tight schedule?
4.That you are ready to contact my lawyer who will assist in preparing the documents and send them to you?
5. That you are in a position to travel to The Netherlands were the boxes are kept in the security company's vault?
6.That you fully understand this transaction up to this stage and you are ready to proceed under these terms?
If you are ready to proceed under these terms,then contact me immediately to start discussing the final modalities of this transaction. But if you have any question up to this stage,please ask and I will be more than happy to respond to them.
This is not like the first one you did, you will go and see the boxes you are paying for, it's as simple as that.
I would want you to send me your confidential telephone number as I requested in my first email to enable my attorney contact you.
Best Regards,
Daniel Lakele Zuma.
