Dear Friend,

I appreciate your reply confirming interest to co-operate with me and my
partners to facilitate the transfer of money into your country for
investment. We are taking the money out of Africa for safety and economic
reasons. We believe the funds will be quite safe and grow maximally when
invested in your dynamic and great country. By having legitimate
investments there, it gives us the opportunity of coming to spend holidays
in your country with our families whenever we want in future. The business
should bring our two people into lasting and rewarding friendship.

It is important I make it clear that our proposed funds transfer
/investment cooperation with you is a serious, real and legitimate
business, and not one of the internet scams you might have heard about.
Africa is not a very safe place to secure ones financial future. Since the
middle ninety-sixties, when African countries began to see prosperity,
privileged officials in every country of sub-Saharan Africa have always had
the need to transfer and secure their hard earned monies into safer
economies like Europe, Asia and America. This reality still exists up till
this day and it is this that the scammers fake. There are genuine and
real money transfer deals happening all the time between Africans and
confidential overseas associates in other parts of the world. For my
partners and me, this is our own time and opportunity to secure our funds
for the future benefit of ourselves, offspring, and yourself our proposed
foreign associate.

The money we are transferring belongs to me and two partners all living
here in Banjul, The Gambia. I have their mandate to coordinate the
confidentiality cooperation between us and an overseas partner for the
purpose of transferring and investing the money offshore. Two of my
partners are from Sierra Leone and we all used to work at the Diamond
Mining Corporation in that country. The money was acquired from private
diamond deals carried out over the years between some overseas buyers and
us. It is all from clean and legitimate source. However, due to
peculiarities of Africa resulting from political instability and incidents
of civil wars, it is not very safe to keep ones money here. I am aware this
kind of confidentiality transaction is not something one comes across every
time in your world, but anyone who has had extensive dealings with African
countries would not find it strange. Discrete money transfers have always
been carried out by top officials in Africa in collaboration with silent
partners.

I feel it is my responsibility at this point to make these explanations to
you so that you do not have any misconceptions and know on time that what
you will be having in your hands is a serious and real financial
transactions for which you must make all necessary arrangements for safe
receipt of the funds to your account, so there are no problems after the
money gets there. I assure and guarantee that the money we are transferring
is legitimate, earned from the hard work of I and my two Sierra Leonean
partners. Be rest assured the funds have nothing to do with
money-laundering or terrorism finance. We are only seeking better and safer
pastures for our money.In Africa, it is permissible for one to use his
connections in official positions to carry out personal businesses and make
money legitimately. This is exactly what happened during the period I and
my partners worked as high ranking officials at the Diamond Mining Company
in Sierra Leone before the civil wars destabilized the country.

Prior to the transfer, you will be provided with all necessary
documentation to back-up receipt of the funds to your account.
For reason that Dollar is not the national currency here and all foreign
transfers are regulated by the governments, we are going through the
offshore banking channels of Central Bank of West Africa to get the funds
transferred legitimately. It is unlike your country, where one can easily
transfer money from any bank. To be successful in this, we have enlisted
the private assistance of some top officials of the Central Bank to pass
the transaction through their normal international transfer channels.Please
note the issues involved here. The money we are talking about was earned
and retained in cash under special arrangements in a security company's
vault in Freetown (Sierra Leone) before been moved to Banjul, The Gambia.
Owing to the civil war in Sierra Leone,almost all transactions were done in
cash because nobody wanted to keep his money in a bank that doesn't have
security due to break down of law and government in that country at the
period.

As much as we ensure everything is done legitimately from here, you should
as well know the facts and do what is necessary on your own part to receive
the funds without problems.
Once you confirm your ability to handle the transaction and receive the
funds, the first step will be for us to sign a confidentiality agreement,
which ratifies our intentions to relate honestly and work together with the
sole purpose of respecting each other's interests. I am getting this
confidentiality agreement ready and should email it for your comments,as
soon as I receive your positive response hereafter.

After signing the agreement with you, we shall proceed to commence the
transfer process through our Central Bank, for which the officials
assisting us will obtain all necessary documentation in your favour to
back-up legitimate transfer of the funds to your account.
My telephone number is 220 3341086 . You can get reach me any time in
Banjul. My country is on the same time with London (UK). Having provided
you details, I look forward to receiving confirmation of your capability to
work with us to realize the transfer and subsequent investment of the money
in your country, for mutual benefits. If you are capable of helping us, I
also expect to receive the urgently response.

Sincerely,

Patrick Mbaye
