Dear Friend,

I am Mr. Steve Manei, a manager in a vault company here in South
Africa; my business proposal is a simple one that has to be executed
immediately. It is the valuables (money) of a deceased client who
fronted for a Nigeria politician by lodging two boxes of huge cash
money with our company under a fictitious name for safe keeping. The
lodgment is shrouded in secrecy because the money is stolen from the
Nigeria government coffers and the only guy who lodged the money died
in a fatal motor accident in Johannesburg seven months ago. Since he
died no one has ever come forward secondly the name he used as the
next of kin is fictitious I guess and the only reason he put the name
there is because it is compulsory for clients to do so.

I am inviting and soliciting your collaboration as a foreigner to
help lay claims to the estate and please understand that my intention
to collaborate with a foreigner is informed by high confidentiality I
strongly want to maintain in this business deal. I intend to invest my
share of the money in your country with your help. Please do get back
to me as soon as possible for further details as I implore you not to
treat this message with levity.

Please respond to [email protected]

Regards,

Steve Manei.
