Grateful to Introduce Himself

Daniel starts off by saying that he is grateful to introduce himself. That kind of makes me feel good. On the other hand, "Daniel King" just doesn't sound like the name of someone from Zimbabwa.

Grade: B
Comments: He only offers $17.5 million while I am getting other offers for $25 million. I also still don't get why he is in The Netherlands.

URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
FROM: DANIEL KING
THE NETHERLANDS

Dear Sir,

SOLICITING FOR A BUSINESS VENTURE AND PARTNERSHIP Before I proceed, I must be grateful to introduce myself. My name is Mr.Daniel King a Zimbabwean. I was formerly a personal aide to one of the top ministers (Minister of Finance) of Robert Mugabe's former Government. Due to my position and closeness with the minister, I absconded with Seventeen . Five Million United States Dollars (US$17.5M) [Comment: Hmm, I don't think I've ever heard someone admit that they ever absconded with something] which was part of the money meant for campaigning for President Robert Mugabe's re-election into office
under Zanu PF Party.

Presently I have been able to move the funds diplomatically to a Security Company in the Netherlands where I now reside as efugee.

MY REQUEST

As a result of my present situation as a refugee who cannot have access to own an account or accounts, I am looking for a trustworthy individual/firm to advice me in making the rightful investment as well as to provide account(s) where the funds will be lodge into. Moreso, we are at the interim interested in buying properties for residence as my family will be residing there in the near future.

COMMISSION/REMUNERATION
As regards your commission/remuneration, I and my immediate family have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum and also set aside 5% for all your expenses (i.e telephone bills, travelling expenses, hotel bills and other miscellaneous expenses) [well, if my math is right, that's $875,000 for travel, phone, and hotel expenses --- this guy *is* generous!].

NOTE: I shall commit half of my own share of the total sum into a joint venture project preferably in the purchase of Real Estate or other profitable business venture. Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind as the funds in question belong to me alone. As soon as I get your consent, I will furnish you with the details and contact of the Security Company and a face to face meeting will be arrange in order to know each other better.

I strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business ventures will derive a huge success hereafter and it will be a long lasting business association. If you have any question, do not fail to contact me with the above e-mail address.

I await your anticipated co-operation.

Yours truly,
Mr. Daniel King.
