Subject: Hello Dear,

Good day to you.

Firstly, I must solicit for your confidence and trust in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make any one apprehensive, but I am assuring you that all is perfectly well and there is nothing to worry about.

By way of introduction my name is Morris James Alphonso Jr, an Independent Financial Adviser/consultant. I would respectfully request as I share this information with you that you treat the content of this message with utmost confidentiality; you have a choice to make and one that will benefit the both of us or you have the right to decline if you are not interested in the opportunity.

Please read carefully; in 2013 one of my client who is an entrepreneur and a mining magnate resident in South Carolina, United States of America involved me with an investment capital of 25.5million United States Dollars, Based on my investment guidelines, we spun the money around on various opportunities and made attractive margins for the first two years of operation, and in late 2015 around October, he instructed that the principal sum be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment in a mining business deal with the AngloGold Ashanti mining company in South of Africa which requires cash payments; he then directed that I liquidate his fixed asset in various businesses we were trading on and have the funds deposited with a securities firm in South Africa towards the intended AngloGold Ashanti deal. The firm is an especially private firm that accepts deposits from high net worth individuals and blue chip corporations. I immediately acted upon his instruction by liquidating his fixed assets

For some reasons the deal with AngloGold mining company was delayed but my client advised that we leave the proposed investment funds with the security firm since it has already been moved and because he has a high anticipation that the hold up on the deal would be lifted sooner and would proceed with the intended business.

Unfortunately while we were waiting for the deal to go through with the AngloGold company, my client passed on as a result of cardiac arrest in January 2016; this was barely three days after I had spoken with him and he informed me that he is currently re-negotiating the mining deal with the AngloGold Ashanti company and that we might be travelling down to South Africa for our third trip for the re-negotiation and which never came to materialized.

However the firm got in touch with me in May this year 2016, informing me that the agreed period of time the money is expected to be in their custody will expire by the end of October 2016 hence the notice of reminder was sent to me as his financial consultant and because I was directly involved with the security firm during the time of the deposit of fund.

The situation is very unfortunate because I am not known to anyone related to my late client and there was no next of kin specified during the time we made the deposit and because we did not anticipated the delay in concluding the deal with the AngloGold Company. It was an open door opportunity my client wanted to cash into so everything was done in swift arrangement thinking that the deal will sale through immediately. This has left me with no choice as I have tried my utmost best in vain to trace anyone related to him to present as his next of kin so as to repatriate the fund back to the states.

It will interest you to know that most of my dealings with my client was very private and not to the knowledge of anyone. Due to my clients numerous business connections and involvements, he always prefers to front others to stand as his fiduciary agent especially in monetary matters; and since he has no will or next of kin in connection with the funds deposited with the security firm I now came up with an option to proceed and retrieve the funds from the security firm.

What I am proposing in this message is to have you stand as the beneficiary and associate partner to my late client to receive the USD25, 500,000.00 from the security firm. The security firm has no clue on who will be the recipient of the fund and will only follow my instruction to release funds to whoever I present as beneficiary. I have exclusive access to all paper works and all the documentations in connection to the deposit with the security firm necessary to process the release of funds to you as beneficiary recipient if you accept my proposal. It is my intention that we both benefit from this fortune and split the fund 50/50 as soon as money is remitted to your bank account successfully. I also propose that 5% of the proceeds be donated to any charity organization of our choice by the time money is in our custody.

Nobody is getting hurt; this is a lifetime opportunity for us. I am well placed to get this fund release to you and all I need is a trusted and reliable partner to work with me and achieve this success for ourselves; and come to think of it if we do not retrieve the funds obviously the holders which is the security firm will definitely benefit from it.

Please do not see me as a bad person as I have also resolved to invest part of my shares into charity work in memory of my late client. I am also sending you this mail not without a measure of fear as to the consequences if you should decide to turn my proposal down or label it as unsolicited, but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold. Do not betray my confidence. If we can be of one accord, we should act swiftly on this. Please get back to me as soon as possible if you are interested and if you are not then please delete my message with all due respect.

I will be waiting for your prompt response and please send me your full names and telephone number so that I will call you immediately to discuss on further on this deal.

Regards,
Morris James Alphonso Jr.
