Dear Sir,
My name is Yusuf Razack son of Saliu Razack former personal assistant on financial matters to the Sudanese president. I am writing you with trust and Confidentiality. And I got your contact through the Internet. It is my humble Decision to solicit for your understanding and cooperation in this business that will benefit you and me.
At the mid term of the rebellion which is still on till date, my father thinking fast decided to send my brother and I out of the country (Sudan), with a total sum of (US$45M), Forty five million United States Dollars only. This money was meant for the purchase of arms and ammunitions for the rebel, but my father had to divert the funds as a way of frustrating the on-going war that has claimed the lives of millions of Sudanese. The bills were carefully moved as diplomatic baggage to Madrid, Spain. Unfortunately, because of my father's political influence he was assassinated last December.
On our arrival in Madrid, Spain, we discovered that as political asylum seekers, we are not allowed to operate bank account (s). With the instruction of my father, we deposited the baggage in a security company. This was without declaring the contents to them.
We therefore need your assistance by coming to Madrid to open a non-resident bank account with any of the banks. The non-resident account will enable the onward telegraphic transfer of the funds to your nominated bank account. The whole arrangement will be strictly under our supervision and the transaction will be absolutely risked free. The transfer to your account would be completed the same day.
We intend to share the money upon successful completion of the transaction as follows:- 26% will be entitled to you for your assistance, while 70% will be for us and 4% will be set aside to take care of expenses. Should this meet your utmost consideration, kindly write back immediately to confirm your earliest date of arrival?
The confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over emphasized as we trust and believe that you will oblige us the security and attention it demands.
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards,
Yusuf Razack
