MY DEAR GOOD & TRUSTED FRIEND.
=C2=A0
MY NAME IS MR.JOSEPH KARL.
Iam the head of Operations Cemac Bank of Africa Plc. Sometime in 1999, a =
certain man MR. EMMA WILLIAMS. brought a luggage marked family treasure t=
o me for safe-keeping in our bank. I met the man in 1996 in America and h=
e introduced himself as a SHIP CAPTAIN. We became intimate more when he r=
ealized my profession,there and then, he informed me about A consignment.=
However, I did not take it so serious not until he brought the box to my=
office and CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT issued to him.However,he saw me as som=
eone trustworthy and decided to hand-over the document to me for safe-kee=
ping. He left back to his country, though he is always on the Sea being a=
Sailor.
All our correspondence was through telephone.Our discussion stopped since=
Year 2000 when I called his telephone number, and behold someone else ha=
d bought over the telephone. the new subscriber told me that MR.EMMA WILL=
IAMS died along-side, his wife and only two children at the World Trade C=
entre during the BIN-LADEN bomb blast, in America. This news shocked me s=
o much that MR.EMMA WILLIAMS did not leave any of his contact address or =
next of kin, and since then all plans to trace any of his relatives prove=
d abortive. Honestly, I became confused, and resorted to informing my col=
league in the office, who suggested that we should open the box a little =
to know the content proper. The box was carefully opened and GUESS WHAT? =
BILLS OF ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATE DOLLARS=C2=A0 ($100 denomination).=20
I and my colleague agreed and secretly took the box out from the bank and=
deposited it with a SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN COTONOU, REPUBLIC OF BENIN =
as a photographic & film matrials as we dont want them to know the real c=
ontent to avoid tamper or diverting it to another place.=20
We have concluded plans to invest the money total Eight Million United St=
ates Dollars $8M(USD) out of Cotonou, Republic Of Benin and required an a=
ssistance from a Would-be Trustworthy Over-Seas Partner who will help us =
receive & invest the money overseas. If you can assist
us, we can arrange and bring the money to your country by the help of Dip=
lomats through diplomatic turnel, for investment in any profitable busine=
ss you may advise. I and my colleague has agreed to give you 30% of the t=
otal sum. Be rest-assured that the transaction is 100% risk-free, legal a=
nd legitimate. all the arrangemnts has been finalised. SO your urgent res=
ponse is highly needed. So that we cannot look for another person.
=C2=A0
Sincerely yours.
MR.Joseph Karl
