Subject: long time
Your name has been introduced to me and I am interested in doing business
with you. I am a top government functionary here in my country. I have made
an arrangement to move a certain amount of money to your country and I
require your honest assistance to complete this effort. At the moment the
money is in a rented safe deposit box at a private security holding company
here. It was disguised and deposited at the security firm as valuables in
order that the money could not be traced.
The safe deposit operations company does not know the real contents either.
The amount hidden in that safe box is USD$25 Million. There is urgent need
to move the money to your country for safe-keeping and subsequent investment
in any viable venture in the nearest future. I want your help to move the
money to your territory prior to my arrival, which will take place as soon
as the fund movement is successful. This will be done via a diplomatic
process, which is a way government or affiliated financial institutions uses
to move fund to another country, especially in transactions that require
settlement with internationally acceptable currency. This system of fund
movement is usually secure given the prevailing new anti terrorist and money
laundering legislation now in operation.
It is a direct approach that will enable us take delivery of this fund and
deposit same in installments in a bank as you and I will determine when the
fund has been moved to your custody. You will get 35% of the total sum for
this role. I require from you the following so as to execute this business.
1. Your full names (which will be given the beneficiary status to this fund)
2. Your address or any other address where the fund will be delivered by a
Courier or agents of the safe deposit company.as the case may be. 3. Your
ID/Passport 4. A guarantee that you will not mutilate the fund while in your
custody prior to my arrival in your country. I plan to settle down in your
country with my family and start a new lease of life after the successful
movement of the fund, which I assure you is risk free and demands
confidentiality. Respond urgently if you are interested and include your
phone number so as to reach you for further discussion.
Sincerely
Amasi Steven
