Subject: Proposal From Mr, Bababello Aku(Please Urgent Respond And Always Confidential
Attn: Sir/Madam
From Mr Bababello Aku.
Madrid Spain.
16/05/2007
Dear sir,/Madam
Compliments of the day, It is my warmest pleasure writing you this confidential business proposal irrespective of the fact that we have not met or done anything that will repose absolute confidence but nevertheless. I am very determined to communicate you with much conviction that you will give my proposal a consideration. Please don’t count errors or doubt how I got your e-mail address. I was searching for reliable and reputable companies and individuals alike in your country before I came across your contact.
I am Mr,Bababello Aku. a son of the late Mr. Abel Aku. who died recently in the on going crisis in liberia, western Africa. My father, an aide to exile president Charles Taylor, died as a result of uprising against his Government by rebel groups.
Meanwhile, before the death of my father he had taken me and our last son Dako to Madrid Spain to deposit the sum of Fourty Five MILLION US Dollars ($45 million US Dollars) in a Security Company. Initially, he intended investing this money in a garment factory in spain, before the rebel forces assasinated him.
This money was deposited as a family treasure and personal effect to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This money was part of millions of dollars the president mapped out for the purchase of weapons and other defensive logistics. My father sensing the weakness of the ruling Government, he took us to Spain to deposit the money in a private security company as family treasure and personal effect. This is because the money involved is a physical cash sealed in a storage safe.
As he returned from arms negotiation from eastern Europe, he was assasinated by the rebels and thus prompted us to seek asylum in Spain where the money and the whole documents are with right now. This resulted to killing and mass action by the government and rebel soldiers. Infact, a lot of people have been killed because of this war of which my husband was one of the victims. Perhaps, if you are conversant with world news you can understand me better.
It is against this background that I am soliciting your assistance to help us especially sourcing for reliable and trustworthy ventures where the money will be invested when transferred to your account in your country, Since the law of Spain prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to operate a bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction.
We are now saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account into which this money can be transferred without the knowledge of my home government who are bent on taking everything we have got. At the moment, We are faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in Thailand for fear of seizure or going through this same experience or seizure because of terrorist activities/narcotics agencies.
I am soliciting your willingness to help me explore possible areas we can invest our money in your country. I would equally appreciate your willingness to help me relocate my immediate family of three to your country where I will invest the sum. The cash, ($45 MILLION US DOLLARS) means for the would-be project is under my custody. I will therefore appreciate it, if you can travel to meet with us in Madrid Spain, hence our permit (Refugee) on ly allows us to make a single trip out of the country guranted asylum. Again to enable us have a memorandum of understanding, discuss on likely profitable and reliable ventures where the money will be invested in your country and negotiate on what percentage to offer you for your assistance and support in making the transfer a success.Infact I will give you 30% from the total sum while 5% will mapped out for all kinds expenses we are going to make during this great profitable transaction after the consignment is released from storage.
If you are willing to assist us, please reply us and include your private e-mail and telephone number. If you choose not to assist us,my family and I are trusting that you will keep our communication to you strictly confidential. Note That this business is 100% risk free and your coming down here is guaranteed. This transaction is honest, trustworthy and confidentiality.We look unto God for your positive prompt response.Please always respond to with this official email address:mr_aku208@yahoo.es
Yours sincerely,
Mr Bababello Aku.
(for the family)
