Subject: Confidential Business Proposal Of Mutual Benefit
Dear sir,
First let me use this medium to introduce myself.I am Mr.Machado Domingos, the Manager of the Vault and Treasury Department of Coastal Security Company,Luanda,Angola.
On the 24th of June,2000,a consignment was Lodged at Our Company by Mr.Andrew Smith,A Zimbabwean Farmer who fled Zimbabwe for Angola due to the constant harrassment and Intimidation of White Farmers by President Robert Mugabe.Two Years Later We were informed by His Wife Mrs. Mildred Smith that her Husband Died died after a protracted illness.
Following the Death of her Husband,she paid the required cost of delivery and instructed our Company to Move the Consignment via Diplomatic Means to Our Affiliate Security Company in London,United Kingdom so as to enable her Claim the Consignment,which was effected by our Company.
One Year after the Consignment was moved to the United Kingdom,We were informed by her Attorney,Barrister Luis Da Silva that she died at the Edgewood Centre in Portsmouth,United Kingdom and Consequently,Copy of her Death Certificate was sent to us.
The Consignment have remained unclaimed since her death,and such unclaimed Consignment are appropriated and returned back to the treasury Deaprtment of Coastal Security Company,Luanda,Angola as a matter of our Correspondence Service agreement with the Security Company in London.
By Virtue of my Position as the Manager of the Vault and Treasury Department of Coastal Security Company,I discovered during one of my routine Checks that the Content of the Consignment where not actually Personal Effects and Family Treasures which was what Her late Husband Declared on the Consignment Deposit Agreement with our Company but rather the consignment contains Twelve Million,Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$12,500,000.00) Cash and important documents of property title.
Consequently,As one of the Officials that monitored the Delivery of the Consignment,I decided to seek the Consent and assistance of a credible individual that will act as Proxy/Relative so that this Funds can be released to you.The lawyer is aware of this whole process and will confirm you as the next of kin/Beneficiary to my late customer when it becomes necessary.As soon as this is done, you will give further instructions to transfer the deposited funds into an account you will provide, after which we shall then share the funds upon agreed terms.
I am contacting you for two reasons.Firstly,because of the responsibility which you handle, which will make the claim most credible.
Secondly,Her Deed of Will and Testament contains a residuary clause,giving her lawyer full authority to nominate the Beneficiary to her Residuary Estate.
When I receive your response with your private telephone and fax for more confidential discussions,I will provide you with further details.
Regards.
Mr.Machado Domingos.
