TRANSFER OF USD$35.5MILLION FOR INVESTMENT
ATTN: CEO / DIRECTOR / PRESIDENT
I am Dr Frank Thabo, the Director of delivery operation Trans-World Securities South Africa. Our firm is a security Company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of South Africa especially top Government officials and Military leaders here 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 with anybody because it is top Secret.
To be explicit and straightforward to the point, some time early 1999 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 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 consignment was entrusted in our care.
Since the death of our clinet, President Mobutu Sese Seko, none of his benefactors 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 curiosity decide to secretly open the box that was registered as treasure by our client actually contained a considerable amount of US
Dollars that amount to about USD$35.5Million as quoted in the depository certificate during the deposition of the consignment with our Company.
Since this development, I have been nursing plans secretly Also came to found out from inquiries and foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as the Head of States. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of 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
South Africa to your country for immediate investment with your assistance
I have also decided that you will be generously be entitled to 25% of the total amount, Upon my immediate receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me on the 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. This transaction is 100% risk free. Please Kindly Maintain absolute Confidentiality on this matter.
I await your most prompt response through my fax number or phone number stated above.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr Frank Thabo
