Date: Wed, 30 May 2007 09:52:08 +0200
Subject: FUND MANAGEMENT.
DE BEERS CORPORATION LIMITED
Incorporated in Republic Of South Africa
Reg No.1943/002352- AMS-ZAE0000013141
ATT:SIR,
I am Mr. Jono Sono the Financial Manager of De Beers Gold Platinum in South
Africa; It is my privilege to solicit for your partnership in this business,
after going through the record department of the company I discovered that
there are some large deposit of precious stones Diamond/ Platinum in one of
Central Security Depository account since 1986 valued at ONE HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY SIX MILLION RANDS (R186M) (US$28,000-000-00M) Up till now no other
person knows about it, because the file containing all information was
forgotten by the former Chief Auditors of the company since 1995. I was
fortunate to find it in one of the old record book, at first I could not
believed my luck. Until I made inquiries and found that every thing about it
is totally forgotten. I consulted a lawyer that helped me to investigate and
changed some of the name in the file.
But I have not gotten a trusted and capable individual who will stand as the
rightful owner of this consignment. I need your full co-operation because
the management is going to approve this consignment with preference payment
due in respect of the holder of dematerialized information. Which is in my
possession now. Off which I will provide to you later if you will be able to
handle this in strict confidentiality trust according to my instruction and
advice for our mutual benefit. With my position now in the office I will
approve it and transfer to any reliable account. I will use my position to
influence and effect the approvals with appropriate clearance forms from the
office of Minister of Minerals and Energy.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I’ve done all necessary arrangement for smooth transfer of this
consignment out of South Africa before contacting you. Be assured that you
stand no risk of any kind because this precious opportunity belongs to us
now. Therefore, before the eventual stage of the transaction I want to know
how you want us to share the percentage? Which I want you to suggest, my
idea is that we should go into partnership in this regard. I am counting on
your sense of understanding, as it is my desire you keep this to yourself.
Looking forward to your response.
Kind Regards.
