URGENT JOINT BUSINESS TRANSACTION WORTH $16,500,000.00
I do hope this letter will not come to you as a surprise. It was borne out
of my desire to share a mutual business relationship with you. My name is
Williams Nana, 42years, Citizen of Ghana married with four children. I work
as an Accounts Officer with STANDARD SECURITY/ FINANCE COMPANY ACCRA, GHANA.
I got your information via the internet while searching for a reliable
partner for this transaction, I decided to contact you believing that by the
grace of God, you will accept to be my partner in this business. I have
been working with this company for nine years. Within this period, I have
watched with meticulous precision how African Heads of States and top
government functionaries have been using STANDARD SECURITIES to move huge
sums of money USD, Pound sterling, French France - (Cash) to their foreign
partners. They bring in these consignments of money cash and secretly
declare the contents as gold, diamond, precious stones, family treasure,
documents etc. Gen. Sani Abacha of Nigeria (dead), Mobutu Sese Seko of Zaire
(dead) Foday Sankoy of Siera - Leone. Ibrahim Babangida of Nigeria, Henri
Konan Bedie of Cote D'Ivoire etc. All these people have hundreds of
consignments deposited with STANDARD SECURITIES. Their foreign partners,
friends and relatives, are claiming most of these consignments. A lot of
them are lying here unclaimed for as much as 15 years. No body may ever come
for them because in most cases, the documents of deposit are never available
to any body except the depositors most of them dead.
Since the inception of the President John Kufour of Ghana as the Current
Chairman of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), STANDARD
SECURITIES MANAGEMENT changed the procedure of claims of consignments. As
soon as you are able to produce all the secret information as contained in
the secret file of any consignment, it will be released to you upon demand.
From our record, more than 25 consignments belonging to Gen Abacha/ Mobutu
Sese Seko, has been claimed in the past twelve months. This is why I am
soliciting for your co-operation and assistance. Gen. Abacha has 36
consignments deposited with several names and codes. 25 have been claimed in
the past six months. Since he's dead, his first son is dead in a plane
crash, the second son is facing trial for murder and embezzlement in Abuja
and Lagos and the family members are under restricted arrest without
communication.
I have finished every arrangement for you to come and claim consignment No
1200 containing USD16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S
Dollars). My duty is to supply you with all the required information and
documents by fax and courier. You will deal directly with the management.
The procedure is simple: - You will apply officially to the Director of
Operations of STANDARD SECURITIES for the release of consignment No. 1200.
They will demand some documents and secret codes. You will then get back to
me, I will supply you with detailed information which you will fax to them
for their perusal. As soon as they confirm it to be correct, they will
invite you for the collection. If you cannot come over to Accra, you can
arrange with them to transfer the consignment to anywhere on agreement. No
body will ever know I am involved in the deal except the Lawyer who will
prepare legal documents an agreement for us.
I have resolved that upon conclusion proceed will be shared 50 - 50 on the
successful conclusion of the deal, you'll arrange for me and my family to
come over to your country. I assure you that the business have been hatched
for (4) three years now, it is much secured and risk free. You can get back
to me on fax or e-mail providing to me your personal phone and fax numbers
for further explanations and directives on the procedure.
I wait for your response urgently.
Yours Sincerely,
Williams Nana
