Dear Sir, I know you may be suprised to receive this mail, especially as we have not met in person before but Please do not be embarrassed for I mean good. I was opportuned to have your contact from the South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E.), in my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction which involve a transfer of fund and its investment in your country. My name is ANDREW WILLIAMS, a South African expatriate staff of one of the reputable financial institutions in Zurich, Switzerland. We act as financial advisors and on special arrangements, accept Deposits of valuables from our customers for safekeeping. Few months ago, we received information about the sudden death of one of our prominent customers from Angola in Africa. Our enquiry at the Embassy confirmed that he died with the leader of UNITA, Dr. Jonas Savimbi in an ambush laid by the enemy Government forces. The issue now is that the customer has a Deposit of Fifty Million US Dollars ( USD50M) in our custody, which he declared as a consignment of GOLD & DIAMONDS. I am the only person with the accurate information about the Deposit because I acted as his adviser and proxy when he was alive. I knew the money actually came from Diamond Mines in Angola where he was the Chairman of the States' Mining Corporation during the Government of now late Dr. Savimbi. It may also interest you to know that, for obvious reasons, the man did not provide any next-of-kin at the time of making the Deposit, and more so, he lodged the entire deposit under the name of LONG TIME INVESTMENTS LTD, with a non-existing address. The Deposi! t is now due for clearing and all efforts by our company to contact any of his relatives through the address he provided proved futile. By the regulations of the company, if more 30 days passes without any person showing up claiming to be the next of kin or relative of the customer, the entire Deposit will be recovered and if found to be cash, the money will be given away to Charities or secretly be converted into trading in favor of the company, and can never be accounted for again. With my position as his proxy, and the knowledge I have about the Deposit, I can successfully organize the claim of the Deposit without any problem provided I have a credible and capable person to receive the Deposit. I cannot function in this regard because of my status in the company, therefore, I am proposing to you to receive the money in your care for our mutual personal use. Being an insider, I know what to do to pull the deal through without any problem whatsoever. The Deposit is being secured in our central Warehouse in Europe and all I need from you now are your PARTICULARS, including, TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS to set up the process required to release the Deposit to you. Once that is done, the Deposit will be released to you through a friendly Security/Safe Deposit Company in Europe where you have to move in to collect . I will complete the Deposit releasing process within 2-3 days and furnish you with particulars and contact person of the security company in Europe so that you can arrage for the clearing and collection. My dear Friend, no doubt, this is an opportunity for us to excel in life. Therefore, if you are interested kindly inform me by email or you can phone at +41-795-328250, and please do not forget to furnish your particulars including, Address, Telephone and Fax numbers to enable me commence the operation immediately. I am willing to share 40% of the total funds to you, 10% would be given out to Charities while 50% would remain for me. I am interested to invest my share of the money in Real Estates, Capital & Money markets in your country. With your support and co-operation, this transaction is set to be completed within one week. Be rest assured that the business is 100% risk-free, safe and secure but for security reasons however, you are advised to treat it with all privacies and strictest of confidentiality. Best regards, ANDREW WILLIAMS.
