DIRECTOR, DELIVERY/OPERATIONS, TRANSWORLD
SECURITIES, SOUTH AFRICA
RE: TRANSFER OF US$18.3m FOR INVESTMENT.
Dear Sir/Madam
I am MRMARTINS BONGANI., the director of delivery/Operations Tran world
Securities, South Africa. Our firm is a company of high repute with years of
outstanding services to the people of Africa especially top Government
officials and military leaders here in Africa. I have resolved to contact
you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual
benefit to both of us. I have not discussed this transaction with anybody
because it is of top secret. To be explicit and straight to the point,
sometime early 2000 a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in
our company's vault for safekeeping. And since then our client has failed to
come forward to claim his consignment, has accumulated a considerable amount
of money.
Consequently, in our bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage
which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the
former President of the Federation Republic of Zaire, who died of illness
after he was dethroned in the same year the consignment was entrusted into
our care. Since the death of our client President Mobutu Seseseko, none of
his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which
means that none of his relatives or aids has any knowledge of this
consignment.
Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our
client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the
boxes that were registered as treasure by our client actually contained a
considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about
US$18.3million US Dollars. Since this development I have been nursing plans
secretly. I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our
late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office
as head of state.
It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money
that our client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no trace to this
money in our care.
I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this
money out of South Africa to your country for immediate investment with your
assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 40%
while 50% will be for me and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses of
the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness
to assist me,
I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this
consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of
the complete funds to your country for onwards investment. This transaction
is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute confidential on this matter. I
await your most prompt response through my telephone or e-mail address.
Yours faithfully
Mr. MARTINS BONGANI.
