From: dukemoses1@zipmail.com.br
Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2005 01:34:10 -0800
Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?GET=20BACK=20TO=20ME?=

FROM: DUKE MOSESE
MAIL: dukemoses1@yahoo.com

Attn: sir,

I want you to patiently read this offer. I am DUKE MOSES the Head of Delegation
to the World Bank in West Africa. I am the linkman between the Organizations
For Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC and the petroleum Sector in a Sao-Tome
And Principe. I also attend OPEC Meetings constantly in Geneva on the auspices
of World Bank.

Through the sale of our allocated oil quota in OPEC, I was able to make
S$12.2 million, which is currently deposited in a Security company in Ghana.
I want you to assist me to claim this money as I cannot claim it directly
because I am still a civil servant, and the code of conduct bureau forbids
me to acquire such amount of money.

It is on this basis that I am contacting you for assistance, If you will
be interested, claim documents have been processed and will be sent to you.
The documents with which the fund is deposited will be changed to reflect
you as the new beneficiary so that you will be eligible to collect the fund
on my behalf.

I will give you 15% of the fund for this assistance, while 75%will be for
me and 10% will be for expenses that may be incurred on both sides. I am
aware of the international monitoring of all large-scale financial movements
after the September 11th 2001 terrorist attack on America and to avoid any
state of financial investigation I will provide a classified clearance paper
from the relevant body which will exonerate the money from either drug,
money laundered or terrorist related proceeds.

Kindly respond to my proposal through this my private email:dukemoses1@yahoo.com
on the receipt of the mail indicating interest. I want to assure you that
there is no risk attached in this transaction.

You should also provide me with your private telephone and fax numbers for
easier communication.

Expecting your Response.

Best regards,
DUKE MOSES.
