Dear Partner,

I am Dr. Demola Sogunle, Treasury and Financial Services under the management of Investment Banking & Trust Co.(IBTC) here in Nigeria Our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding service to the People of Nigeria and Africa.I have decided to contact you through this medium based on business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us. I have not discussed this transaction with anybody because it is of top secret.To be explicit and straight to the point. Some time early 1997, a reputable client of ours deposited a consignment in our company's vault for safe keeping. And since then our client has failed to come forward to claim his consignment, which has accumulated a considerable amount of money in demurrage. Consequently, in our bid to contact this client to redeem the demurrage which his consignment had accumulated we discovered that our client is dead. Since the death of our client who happens to be the late President of the former republic of Zaire, (Chief President Mobutu Sesse seko), none of his benefactors has come forward to claim the consignment with us, which means that none of his relatives or aids had any knowledge of this consignment. Hence out of curiosity I decided to secretly open the two boxes that our client deposited in our vault. And to my surprise I discovered that the two boxes that were registered as family treasures by our client actually contained a considerable amount of money in United States Dollars amounting to about US$15million and I immdiately deposited the funds in our clients escrow account. Since this development, I have been nursing plans secretly.

I also found out from enquiries and the foreign media that our late client siphoned a lot of money from his country while he was in office as head of state. It is my conviction that the consignment in our vault was part of the money that our client siphoned, and now that he is dead there is no trace to this money in our care. I am now soliciting your noble assistance to assist me in transferring this money out of Nigeria to your country for immediate investment with your assistance. I have also decided that you will generously be entitled to 25% of the total amount. Upon my receipt of your reply confirming your willingness to assist me on this transaction, I will immediately arrange and transfer all the rights of ownership of this consignment to your name to facilitate your easy clearance and transfer of the complete funds to your country. Secondly, I will arrange for the consignment already labelled as family treasure to be lifted by diplomatic means to our company's correspondence in Amsterdam, Spain or Canada Or to any corresponding office near you, where I will meet with you. You have nothing to worry about, as I will be there to assist you in anyway necessary with all proper documentation. This transaction is 100% risk free.Please maintain absolute confidentiality on this matter. Please reply to the above email address dr.demola@fastermail.com or call me immediately upon the receipt of this letter.

Best regards,
Dr. Demola.
