Subject: I anticipate your urgent and favorable response
From the desk of:
Mr. Alfa Johnson,
Director of Operations,
AV Diplomatic Global Services Ltd.
Plot 3 AV Security Complex,
Victoria Island,
Lagos,Nigeria.
Dear Sir/Madam,
It is indeed with a heart of hope that I am contacting you in the
context below. I am appealing to you to treat with utmost secrecy and
absolute confidentiality.
I am Mr. Alfa Johnson, a Nigerian, 52 years, married with 4 children,
two boys and two girls. I am the Director of Operations of the above
stated company. It may interest you to know that deciding to carry out
this transaction was not an easy task for me, as I had to ensure that
whoever I would deal with in regard to this must be of high moral
estate and sound reputation.
I joined this company 25 years ago as an office assistant and have
grown to this status out of hard work and total commitment to service.
I have since been watching with meticulous precision how African
Presidents, top government personnels, Business Men/Women, Contractors
and Merchants uses this company to move and transfer huge sums of
money to their partners, agents, representatives or family friends
abroad.
These customers do bring the funds here in cash for further shipment
under a diplomatic coverage or for the company to use their account to
transfer such fund abroad. We still have some unclaimed consignments
within our custody belonging to some of these customers most of whom
are now late.
Most of these customers do keep their dealings a very top secrets and
for this reason, they do not let people nor their family members know
about it to avoid exposure, they keep the deposit documents top secret.
Our company management since the inception of this new year 2008 has
decided that any of the relatives to this dead depositors who come for
claims of these consignments without the documents but could be able
to meet the required procedure needed to confirm relationship with the
deceased will be allowed to have the consignment on demand.
Based on the above condition given by our company, I am contacting you
to be of great assistance in claiming one of the consignments
deposited by our late customer Mr. Andreas Schranner, a German
contractor who died in the ill-fated Air France Concorde plane AF4590,
which crashed into the Hotelissimo on Monday, 24 July 2000.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm). Please note that
all efforts to trace the family or any of his relatives failed and
nobody will ever come for this consignment.
The consignment is registered with Code No. 02AV/53DGX/SE908/05 and
contains the total sum of US$57,800,000.00M (Fifty Seven Million Eight
Hundred Thousand United States of America Dollars Only).
This claim could only be achieved with the assistance of a foreigner
or a foreign company irrespective of the difference in surnames and
nationalities. How you will be of assistance is simple. I will have to
fill your information as the next of kin in the deposit file, so that
you will be presented as the beneficiary.
We will only hire the services of an attorney who will assist in
preparing the legal documents the notarization of will and as well
procure a letter of administration to legally put you in position as
the real beneficiary of the said consignment.
I am fully aware of your position and reputation and will do
everything possible to protect your image in this transaction. Be
assured of no mistakes as I am the director of operations and all the
process will have to pass through my table for approval.
Upon conclusion, I suggest that since we are all going to play
important roles to make this a success, you will take 40% of the total
sum while the balance of 60% is for me. I will direct you in due time
where to transfer my own part of the fund.
You should provide immediately the following information:
1. Your complete names
2. Your private phone numbers
3. Your private fax numbers
4. Your current contact address
On receipt of the above requested information, I will explain
comprehensively the whole transaction and how to make it successful.
Please you should send your reply to my private email address
alfajohnson@myway.com or alfajohnson2007@o2.pl
I anticipate your urgent and favorable response.
Best regards
Mr. Alfa Johnson
