Hello Dear ,
I represent a top company executive in Germany Mr.Matthias Hansen. I have a very confidential brief from this top executive to ask for your partnership to re-profile some funds totaling US$88,000,000.00 (Eighty Eight million United States Dollars), for investment in your country. I have come to London as a result of this transaction to represent Mr.Hansen because he doesn't understand English.
I will give you the details, but in summary, the fund is the proceed from a crude oil bunkry deal which Mr.Matthias Hansen did will late Mr.Joseph Ingeborg,who was then the export manager of a shipping agency.The two men collaborated and supplied 88,000,000 barrels of crude oil to an American refinery in 2001 for which late Mr.Ingeborg received a brokerage fee of $1 per barrel from the transaction.Late Mr.Ingeborg was the anchor man because he understands and speaks English fluently.However since Mr.Matthias Ingeborg was the arrow head and was buyers mandate,he instructed Mr.Ingeborg while in the United States to move the fund to Rome in Italy where he disired to invest in the flourishing Italian wine industry.But For tax considerations,late Mr.Ingeborg objected to get the money transfered using an American bank,he was able to convince his boss Mr.Matthias Hansen that using the services of Securitas,a globally acknowledged security company with offices in major cities in
Europe,would safe them lots of money in taxation,beside the refinery company which ordered for the product handed them two standard bullion sized boxes containing payment partly because the oil company knew that the crude was bunkered.On getting Mr.Hansen conscent,Mr.Ingeborg striked a deal with Securitas to move the standard bullion crates to Rome so the security company handled the transaction and moved safes to Rome enroute London which is their europe headquarter.If you want to know more about Securitas you can visit their website www.securitas.com.
However,Mr.Ingeborg was still in America when the crates arrived Rome for clearing.Because they were registered in his name it became impossible for Mr.Matthias Hansen to claim the safes so he promptly called Mr.Ingeborg to return to Rome.But Mr.Ingeborg had just secured another contract with the same refinery to supply more of the product so he had to stay back for a week more to seal the deal.He was at the World Trade centre to seal the deal when terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre on 11 September 2001 .He was a victim of that attack it claimed his life.Since then,his associate Mr.Matthias Hansen has contacted securitas Europe Office in London to authorise the fudicial firm in Rome keeping custody of the crates to release them to him because he was directed to report his case to Securitas London.I came into the picture because Mr.Hansen does not speak English and he needed me to help him.However,the company claimed that non of us is a next-of-kin to late
Mr.Ingeborg and therefore not a beneficiary of his asset( cash-safes) that they cannot deal with Mr.Hansen.They also claim that there are some tax evasion issues relating to the transaction,as a result,we engaged the services of a reputable law firm to sue and handle litigation matters.I must tell you that it was indeed a legal battle which took some good five years but at the end we secured justice.The court ruled that as soon as the tax is cleared that a business associate of late Mr.Joseph Ingeborg with substantial proof of business partnership can claim the lodgement since he died a widower with no child.My partner,Mr.Hansen had paid the huge tax but yet could not get the lodgement.I came to London to find out why.Securitas then told me that there are outstanding chrages to be paid to it which amount to about ?0,000.00.This threw a big brow to the transaction because Mr.Matthias Hansen fell bedriddened and was admitted in the hospital for cancer related case same
week.Mr.Matthias Hansen,was diagnosed to have lung cancer since 2000 for which he has been receiving intensive care.The result of the citi scan done on him recently was fearful,the situation was deteriorating.shortly before he was admitted,he told me in confidence that he desired an expert investor to access and invest the fund in a high yielding investment in properties,real estate and real investments so that his wife and children would have some livelihood in the event of his demise.However with the help of his wife ,Securitas was paid off their fees of close to ?0,000.00 just few weeks ago,I shall send the payment slip to you as proof.We had actually thought that Mr.Hansen could get better so as to travel to Rome to conclude the deal but his situation was not getting better.
Since Mr.Matthias Hansen is seeking to partner with any seasoned investor who is willing to manage this fund in any lucrative investment anywhere in the world.I decided to contact you after discussing with the wife.If we reach an agreement you will be required to re-profile the fund to an investment account for custody first while we draft investment plans.His wife has concented that You will be getting 20% of the total funds for your participation and after the transaction we would discuss further about investment conditions and benefits.
Should you be able to handle this transaction,get back to me as soon as possible.Securitas has accepted to authorise the fudicial firm in Rome to release the crates to anyone recommended by Mr.Matthias Hansen or his wife provided that it was back by law through an affidavit and a notary letter of authority.Since they both desire that an investor accesses the fund,you are required to send the following information if you know you can handle this transaction to enable the attorney in London process the required legal documents.All legal fees have been paid by Mrs.Hansen,the information needed are as follows:
1.Your full legal name
2.Full contact address
3.Direct telephone numbers
4.Age
5.Sex
6.coutbry of origin
7.A scanned copy of your international passport.
Finally,while in Rome you will be required to claim the cash safes and then take them to the bank for banking.The entire process will take about three to four days.Further directives will be given to you but in the main provide me with an estimate of what it will cost you to get to Rome viz,flight ticket,hotel reservation,and transportation fee.I do hope you have valid papers for this trip.I expect that you will call me if you are interested.
Regards,
Helmut
