Subject: In Strict Confidence
Dear Confidant,
My name is Ahmed Jamal son of Tanko Jamal former personal assistant on
financial matters to the Sudanese President. I got your contact through the
internet and decided to write you in trust and confidence. It is my humble
decision to solicit for your understanding and cooperation in this
business that will be mutually beneficial to both of us.
At the mid term of the rebellion which is still on till date, my father
thinking fast decided to send my brother and I out of the country (Sudan),
with a total sum of (US$45M)( Forty five million United States Dollars).
This money was meant for the purchase of arms and ammunitions for the war,
but my father had to divert the funds as a way of frustrating the on-going
war that has claimed the lives of millions of Sudanese people.
The bills were carefully moved as diplomatic baggage to Madrid,Spain.
Unfortunately, because of my father’s political influence he was
assassinated last December. Due to our father's death, we decided not to
return to the country but seek for political asylum and look for an
opportunity to safeguard the money for proper investment and prepare for our
future. We however, discovered that as
political asylum seekers, we are not allowed by law to seek for any gainful
employment or open and operate a bank account.
We therefore need your assistance and co-operation in concluding this deal.
You are needed to come over to Madrid, Spain and open a non-resident account
where the entire funds will be deposited and subsequently transferred to
your nominated account by telegraphic transfer. The whole arrangement will
be strictly under our supervision and the transaction will be absolutely
risk-free and the transfer to your account would be completed the same day.
We intend to share the money upon successful completion of the transaction
as follows: -30% will be entitled to you for your assistance, while 65% will
be for us and 5% will be set aside to take care of expenses. Should this
meet your utmost consideration, kindly write back immediately to confirm
your earliest date of arrival?
The confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over emphasized as we
trust and believe that you will oblige us the security and attention it
demands.
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards,
Ahmed Jamal.
