FROM THE DESK OF,
DR.MAXWELL OWEN
DIRECTOR OF DELIVERY OPERATIONS,
TRANS-WORLD SECURITIES,
35 SHEIKH ZAYED ROAD,
DUBAI,
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.
TRANSFER OF USD$20.5MILLION FOR INVESTMENT.
I am the Director of delivery operations of
Trans-World Securities,Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Our firm is a Security Company of high reputation with years of
outstanding services to people from different parts of the world,
especially leaders around the world.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 with anyone else becuase its confidentiality.
To be explicit and straightforward to the point,
early 1999 a reputable client of ours deposited a
consingment in our company`s vault for safekeeping, and
since then our client has failed to come foward 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
has accumulated as discovered that our client was the
former President of the Republic of Zaire who died of
illness after he was dethroned the same year the
consignmnet was entrusted in our care.
Since the death of our client,President Mobutu Sese
Seko,none of his nobody has come to claim the
consignment with us which means that none of his
relatives or aides had knowledge of this consignment.
Hence, out of curiousity,I decide to secretly open the
box that was registered as treasure by our client.
The box actually contained a considerable amount
of US Dollars that amounted to USD$20.5Million as
quoted in the depository certificate during the
deposition of the consignment with our Company.
Since this development,I have been nursing plans
secretly on how to do it.Also came to found out from inquiries and
foriegn media that our late client syphoned a lot of
money from his country while he was in office as the
Head of States.It is my convinction that the
consignment in our vault was part of the money that our
client syphoned 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 United Arab Eimrates to your Country for
immediate investment with your assistance.
I have also decided that you will generously be
entitled to 30% of the total amount.
Upon my immediate receipt of your reply confirming your
willingness to assist me on this transaction,I will immediately
arrange and transfer all the rights of Ownership of
the consignment to your name to facilitate our easy
clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your
Country for onward Investment.
Please, Kindly Maintain absolute
confidentiality on this matter.
note-THIS IS NOT A SCAM MAIL.
I await for your most prompt reply.
Respectfully Submitted.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr.Maxwell Owen.
Director of Delivery Operations,
Trans-World Securities.
Dubai,
United Arab Emirates.
