Subject: my apologies
Dear Sir,
Firstly, my apologies for this intrusion on your
privacy. I am Mr. Fasi Moi, the son of the former
president of Kenya Mr. Daniel Arap Moi.
I came to know you in the course of my search for a
reliable person. I decided to contact you because I
believe you are a reputable person that can
help me and my mother over this confidential matter.
I count on your integrity and honesty to be able to
handle this business. My father, Mr. Arap Moi, was the
former president of Kenya, In East Africa.
During his reign as the president, he was involved in
a lot of Monetary deals with a lot of European
companies within and outside my country.
These companies where used as a means of transferring
funds gotten from the sales of Gold and Diamonds to
foreign accounts in Europe, America and Asia.
Amongst the companies he registered was GOLDENBERG
COMPANY, which he used as front for a deposit of
US$76,000,000.00 (Seventy Six Million United States
Dollars) to this company which never existed. The
company has since been declared bankrupt while the
funds have been deposited with a Bank in
Europe where it is kept for safekeeping.

(2)http://archive.wn.com/2004/01/23/1400/legalconfidential
The above fund has since been shared amongst the
directors of GOLDENBERG COMPANY and my father. My
father's share comes to US$25M. I, being the only
child of my mother who is the 6th wife to my father
the (ex-president), has been given all documentation
about this transaction as settlement for my mother and
myself.
This money has since been there without the knowledge of the
public thus there is nobody that knows about it.
All the documents with which the money was
deposited are in the custody of my mother.
We are therefore soliciting for your assistance as a
honest and trustworthy person that would be willing
and capable to hold and subsequently invest this funds on
our behalf. For this noble assistance we are willing to
offer 20% of total amount to you.
Presently am resident in Europe waiting for the completion
of this project.
Please indicate your willingness to assist us by
responding positively to this message. We are
expecting to hear from you.
Please send me your telephone and fax numbers
for easier communication.
Please contact me only
through this confidential email address:
mrfasi@lycos.com
Best Regard
Mr.Fasi moi
