Subject: Sir Stephen James Dodson
Attention:
Dear Sir,
I wish to communicate with you via this means due to my desire to work with
you in this particular project as an European and my specific interest to do
business in Switzerland/Europe. I decided to contact you via this means due
to the urgency of this transaction.
My name is Sir Stephen James Dodson; I am 58 years old, born in Tennessee,
United States of America. I am the Personal Adviser to Sarkis Soghanalian
one of the world’s most accomplished arm dealer and former US secrete agent.
I am contacting you for a business investment of $120,000,000.00 USD (One
Hundred and Twenty Million United States Dollars) in Switzerland. This money
was realized from one of Sarkis Soghanalian arm deal with one of the African
countries in the West Africa in the early Ninety’s. I went for the
negotiation of this deal and was directed to safe keep the money in a blind
trust account in any of the Banks/Financial institution in West Africa
because at that time, my boss Sarkis Soghanalian was having problem with the
United States Government over a certain deal, which finally put him to a six
years imprisonment in the US.
So I deposited this money in a Security Company in Accra Ghana in my name.
Now, I want to bring this money into your country through you and your
Company for investment. I have settled with my boss and he has given me the
full custody of the fund before my contract finished with him. I need your
documented assurance as my security, in agreement to this deal and I will
immediately release all the documents concerning this deposit to you and
direct you accordingly.
I am in Accra at the time of the dispatch of this email and have finalize
all delivery protocols with the security company senior Directors that I
will be sending somebody for the claim, which they directed me on what to do
to enable them release the deposit to you as soon as possible under my
directives. I therefore need your immediate response to this proposition to
enable us move forward with it.
Finally, in other to clear doubt about this transaction and my person, I
will send you my data page international passport and drivers license when
necessary and also send you one of the documented interviews my boss had
with a media in recent years over his involvement with the US Government and
some other arm deals.
Finally, note that this transaction demand maximum confidentiality in the
highest order for the security of both parties, I will prefer only email
communications for now;
I am waiting your positive response.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
Sir, Steve Dodson.
