Subject: BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.
Dear Friend,
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise but let
it not be,for nature has a way of arriving unannounced and
an adage says '' Originals are very hard to find but there
echo sounds louder'' while I was searching for a reliable
and honest person, who can do this business with me, from
the internet that is how i get in contact with you. So I
decided to contact you myself for you to assure me of
safety and honesty if I have to entrust any amount of money
under your custody.
My boss is one of the recently, compulsorily retired Army
Generals by the democratic Government of Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo. He is sadly also one of the officers who are
facing probes for allegedly looting the government treasure
while serving under the government of the pass government.
I am fired from service too. All his assets have been
confiscated by the government and banks account frozen,
along side other involved officers. Before this situation
degenerated to this stage he arranged and deposited the sum
of Forty million United States DOllars
(USD$40,000,000.00)cash to a security /finance company in
Oversea Sub-regional whose location will be revealed to you
after your response in your interest to assist me. This
amount of money was moved safety to the Security / Finance
Company in concealed boxes as a ''family valuables and
precious items" due to the way my boss deposit it through a
diplomatic channel.
Now, I have been empowered by my boss to see that this
money is quickly lifted safely out of the security company
to an oversea account of a trusted foreign family friend
without delay for security reasons, and to enhance family
relocation and investment into any viable business venture
in your Country. I have all deposit information and
documents as handed over to my boss.
We are going to begin the process of changing the
beneficiary to your favour to enable you claim the fund
from the security/finance company by the time I have
established your readiness and competence to very
swiftly and sincere to handle this issue with me. Now we
have agreed that for your assistance input to claim this
money safe in your Country,we will offer you 20% of the
total sum.
You will also be entitled to a commission on the investment
you are to manage. I have carved out every strategy and
modalities needed to assure a risk free transaction. While
replying this proposal send me the following:
a. Your full name.
b. Your house or Company's address.
c. Your private phone and fax number.
These are to enable our lawyer to start preparing a power
of Attorney,which will empower to back rocession of this
consignment as the original owner. Please be warned, keep
this business secret and confidential between you and I.I
am expecting your quick response.or my alternative
mail:smithkujor4@latinmail.com
Best regards,
Mr Smith Kujor.
