Potential Partner Needed.
I am MR. Leonard Henman, the Manager of Delivery/Operations at the Cargo Company here in Europe. Our firm is a Security Company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the people of Africa 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 secret.
To be explicit and straight to the point, some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours deposited a Consignment in our Company's Vault for safekeeping. 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 effort to contact this client to redeem the demurrage,which his consignment had accumulated, we discovered that our client was the former President of the Federal Republic of Zaire, who died of illness after he was dethroned in the same year the Consignment was entrusted into our care. Since the death of our client President Mobutu Sesesekou, none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the Consignment with us, which means that non of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this Consignment. out of curiosity I decided to secretly check the box that our client deposited in our Vault.
To my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as treasures by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$18.5million US Dollar. Since this development I have been nursing plans secretly also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our 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 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 our finance company to your Country for immediate investment with your assistance.I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 50% of the total amount as i would not want to be greed about this money . Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me in this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this Consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your Country for onwards investment.
This transaction is risk free. Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter.So if you know you can assist me then forward to me immediately the following informations.
1) NAMES AND ADDRESS
2) PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS
3) YOUR NATIONALITY
I await your most prompt response
through my private email Address: .leonard_henman@yahoo.fr
Yours faithfuly
Mr .Leonard Henman
