Subject: urgent responds needed
Dear Miss Joana VALENTE,
I do hope the 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
Mr Kofi Adah
, 52yrs, a Secretary, a Ghana national married with
a wife and
four children. I work as an administrative Secretary to STANDARD SECURITY
AND SERVICES LTD. in Accra-Ghana. I got the information concerning you from
the Ghana Chamber of Commerce and after due consultation with my spiritual
adviser, I decided to contact you believing that by the grace of God, you
will accept to be my partner in this business.
I earn a salary of ?1.8M ? 200 USD equivalent monthly. I joined the
services of this company in 1991 as an office assistant.
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
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 jewelleries, 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. Gen. Ibrahim
Babangida(Rtd.) of Nigeria 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 yrs. 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 2000 millennium, 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 120 consignments belonging to Gen Abacha / Mobutu
Sese Seko, has been claimed in the past six months. This is why I am
soliciting for your co-operation and assistance. Late Gen. Abacha has 85
consignments deposited with several names and codes. 35 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, the
family members are under restricted arrest without communication.
I have finished every arrangement for you to come and claim consignment No
1201 containing USD 9M and consignment No 1200 contain USD 15M. My duty is
to supply you with all the information and documents by fax. 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 and No 1201. They will demand some documents
and secret codes. You will then Call me, I?ll supply you with every
detailed information. Fax it to them.
As soon as they are confirmed correct. They will invite you for the
collection. If you do not want to come 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 write an
agreement for us.
I?ll suggest upon conclusion we share 50 ? 50. At the successful
conclusion of the deal, you?ll arrange for me and my family to come over
to your country. Iassure you that the business have been hatched for 5 Years
now, it is very very secure and risk free. You can get back to me on same
e-mail address including any alternative and more secured telephone and Fax
numbers for further Explanations and directives on the procedure. I have
secured a telephone number 233 2431 53 907 purely for this transaction.
