FROM MR MARTIN MAPUM NYERENYE
I5 HILTON STREET
JOHANESBURG SOUTH AFRICA
EMAIL: mnyerenye@yahoo.com
Dear sir/MD/CEO.
CONFIDENTIAL
I do foresee the surprise this letter will bring to you as it comes from a stranger. But rest assured as it
comes with best of intentions. However, your address was courtesy of a business journal at the World Trade
Centre in Johannesburg. But after due consideration from your profile, I became aware and assured of your
credibility of handling this trust and my future. Thus, after my humble decision to solicit for your
understanding and co-operation in this transaction, as it will be beneficial to all of us involved.
My name is MR.MARTIN MAPUM NYERERE, from Tanzania. I am the son of the Late President of Tanzania JULIUS
MWALIMU NYERERE, who died about five years ago. My father used his position then to make for himself and
us some fortune. My father died after a protracted illness. I was studying when my father died and I was
forced to return for the funeral. His
attorney notified me and my family about my father's will with his chambers. When I was going through the
will, I discovered that my late father had used his position then to make some money, which he brilliantly
transferred and deposited it with a private Security
Company here in Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. He deposited this consignment as valuables.
The Security Company does not know that this consignment contains cash money, except the attorney and me.
The amount is Twenty million United States Dollars (USD 20 MILLION). However, my aim of contacting you is
to help me and take this sum into your nominated account in your country or any other part of the world.
Secondly, you will also help me look for a profitable investment overseas because I don't have knowledge
of international investments. As a result of my present situation, I won't be able to conclude this
transaction alone with your efforts and trust.
If you are interested in helping me out, try and contact me with the above phone number, or e-mail address
indicating your interest to help me, not forgetting to include your private phone and fax numbers for easier
communication. I will then furnish you with more details. I have mutually agreed to compensate you with
20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% for expenses in the course of the transaction. Then the
remaining 75% will remain for my family and me, which you will help us invest.
Be informed that this transaction needs utmost trust and confidentiality. Note also that the transaction
attracts no risk on your side hence all the modalities for safe, smooth and successful transaction have
been arranged by me.Email:mapumnyerere@aim.com
Looking forward to receiving your urgent reply.
God bless you.
Best Regards.
MR.MARTIN MAPUM NYERERE
