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$35.5Million 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.
