Subject: INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
TRANSFER OF US$25.5M FOR INVESTMENT
Dear Sir/Ma
I am Raymond Ngucka, the Director of Delivery/Operations in the above
mentioned Security Company here in South Africa. Our firm is a security
company of high repute with years of outstanding service 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, some time early in 1997, a reputable client of our
deposited aconsignment in our company's vault for safe keeping. And since
then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which
has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage.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
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 relation or aides had
any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to
secretly scan the box that our client deposited in our vault. And to my
surprise I discovered that the box, that was registered as treasures by our
client, actually contained a considerable amount of money in United State
Dollars, amounting to about US$9.5Million 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 inour vault was part of the
money our cleint siphoned and now that he is dead there is no trace of this
money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in
transferring thismoney 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% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your
reply confirming your willingness to assist me of this transaction, I will
immediately arrange and transfer all the right of ownership of this
consignment to your name, to facilitate your easy clearanceand transfer of
the complete fund to your country for onward investment.
This transaction is 100% risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality
on this matter.
I await your most prompt response through my confidential telephone number
or E-mail as stated above.
Your's faithfully,
R Ngucka.
