EMAIL:g00uthman@myway.com
Attn,
TRANSFER OF US$75MILLION FOR INVESTMENT
I am Mr Ghali Uthman the Director of Delivery/Operations in the above
mentioned Security Company. Our firm is a security company of high repute
with years of outstanding service to the people of frica,europe especially
top government officials and military leaders 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 ecret. To be explicit and straight to the
point, some time early in 1999,a reputable client of our ,deposited a
consignment in our company's vaul 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 toredeem the demurrage which
his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client was the
former President of Zaire, who died of illness after he asdethroned in the
same year.The consignment was entrusted into our care. Before 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 US$75 Million,for this reason I
quickly paid the demurrage, Since this development I have been nursing plans
secretly.
I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that the 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 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 this money out of Nigeria to your country for immediate
investment with your assistance.I have also decided that you will generously
be entitled to 20% 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 easyclearance and transfer of
the complete fund to your country for onward investment.This transaction is
100% risk free. I await your most prompt response through my confidential
email address:g00uthman@myway.com
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE
HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Your's faithfully
Ghali Uthman
