Dear Friend
I am Fred Azu, an accountant with Stallion Nigeria Limited, a Foreign Company based in Lagos state of Nigeria, Stallion that was owned by the Vaswani Brothers was involved all kind of businesses in here in Nigeria, but unfortunately, the company got into Money Laundry, an illegal sale of Oil and other illegal businesses and some parts of the money realized from their illegal activities were transferred through a security company out of the Country but with a security stamp on it and after some time the Federal Government of Nigeria discovered the illegal deals, and revoked their license and the Vaswani Brothers were in September 25th 2003 deported. Please see the website for more details http://news.biafranigeriaworld.com/archive/2003/sep/25/0151.html
As the accountant of theStallion Nigeria Limited, I have in my possession all documents containing all information about one of those trunk boxes deposited with the security company. The content of the box is Thirty-Nine, United States dollars (US$39m). I have put in an application with the security company to transfer this one box to their correspondence office in any part of world, which they have obliged. And being that this deal was carried out by a Foreign firm, I need a trust worthy Foreigner like you that will claim this box from the security company office abroad and assist us to a logical conclusion of this pending business which I believe that if you assist us to claim the box, that both of us are bound to benefit from the transaction.
Presently all I need from you is to stand before the security company and sign as one of the Vaswani Brothers to enable you claim the money and pay it into your bank account after you must have claimed the boxes (money) out of the security company.Please, note that this transaction is 95% risk-free and there is no harm or scam involved, for all necessary machinery has been put in place for successful and smooth conclusion of this mutual benefit transaction. And please remember, that I have with me all the necessary and vital documents that will prove that the money belong to us.
I certainly hope will be trustworthy and kind enough to keep my own share of the money when the money finally gets into your account.
I hereby agree to compensate your sincere and candid effort in this regard with 40% of the funds after the transfer and 10%(percent) will be set aside for any expenses both local and international like; transportation, telephone bills, etc. will be settled from this percentage, while 50% will be for me and two of my colleagues. I will be looking forward to doing business with you, and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction.
Acknowledge the receipt of this proposal immediately pleasesend us your full address, private telephone number or cell phone, and fax number for easier communication in this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Fred Azu
