Subject: URGENT
FROM:DR RALPH WILLIEMS
75 YEOVILLE ROAD
JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA
TRANSFER OF USD$10.5MILLION FOR INVESTMENT
ATTN : CEO / DIRECTOR / PRESIDENT
I am Dr RALPH WILLIEMS ,the Director of delivery
operation Trans-World Securities South Africa.Our firm
is a security Company of high repute with years of
outstanding service to the people of South 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 with anybody becuase it is top Secret.
To be explicit and straightforward to the point,
early 1999 a reputable client of ours deposited a
consingment in our company`s vault for safekeeping and
since then our clinet has failed to come foward to
claim his consignment which has accumulated a
considerable amount of money in
demurrage.Consequently,in our bid to contact this
clinet to redeem the demurrage which his consignment
has accumulated as discovered that our clinet was the
former President of the Republic of Zaire who died of
illness after he was dethroned the same year the
consignmnet was entrusted in our care.
Since the death of our clinet,President Mobutu Sese
Seko,none of his benefictors has come to claim the
consignment with us which means that none of his
relatives or aides had knowledge of this
consignment.Hence out of curiousity,I decide to
secretly open the box that was registered as treasure
by our client actually contained a considerable amount
of US Dollars that amount to about USD$10.5Million as
quoated in the depository certificate during the
deposition of the consignment with our Company.
Since this development,I have been nursing plans
secretly Also came to found out from inquiries and
foriegn media that our late client siphoned a lot of
money from his country while he was in office as the
Head of States.It is my convinction that the
consignment in our vault was part of money that our
client siphoned and now that he is dead there is no
trace to this money in our care.I am now soliciting
your noble assistance to assist me in transferring
this
money out of South Africa to your Country for
immediate investment with your assistance.
I have also decided that you will generously be
entitled to 25% of the total amount,Uopn my immediate
receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to
assist me on the transaction.I will immediately
arrange and transfer all the rights of Ownership of
the consignment to your name to facilitate our easy
clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your
Country for onward Investment.This transaction is 100%
risk free.Please Kindly Maintain absolute
Confidentiality on this matter.
I await your most pompt responce through this
email.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr RALPH WILLIEMS
