From: Mr. John Ndlovu.
Consignment Manager.
Alert Security Company Pty Ltd.
Clare inch Wood.
Johannesburg, South Africa.



STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.


To: Director/CEO.

Dear Sir,

In order to transfer out (USD 15 Million dollars) fifteen million United States Dollars from A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY, in a consignment, in disguise as private antiques and valuables. I have the courage to ask for your co-operation, assistance and understanding in this profitable and lucrative proposal.
I am Mr. John Ndlovu, a South African Citizen, the consignment manager of ALERT SECURITY COMPANY PTY LTD our firm is a security company of high repute with years of outstanding services. I know that this massage will come to you as a surprise as we don’t know our selvesbefore, but be sure that it is real and a genuine business. I only got your contact address accidentally through the computer with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business.

SOURCES OF THIS FUND.

There is a consignment deposited in my firm in the year 2001, since the year 2002, nobody has paid any security demurrage on this very consignment, despite the initial security bill which was paid for a year, which only covered the security bill for 2001 only.
After going through some old files in my possession for the year ended 2003. I observed that this very consignment has overstayed without any body showing interest of claim or ownership, I was obliged to have a closer investigation on the sealed trunk box via the record and the office scanner, hence I discovered that the content was money, and not private treasure as it was declared and recorded by the company, this fund is fifteen million dollars (us$15million) However if I do not facilitate action to remit this fund out urgently it would be forfeited for nothing. However, the owner of this consignment was Mr. Smith Andrea, a foreigner, and miner at Kruger Gold Company, a geologist by profession and he died in April 2001. No other person knew about the content of this box or any thing concerning to this effect, the vault has no other beneficiary as my record stated and my investigation proved to me as well that my company does not know that this consignment is containing money. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this consignment cannot be approved to an indigene of South Africa, but can only be approved to any foreign beneficiary who have collect information,which i will give to you later because the money is in United States dollars and the former owner of the vault was Mr. Smith Andrea a foreigner too.
I want to transfer the money through a Bank here in South Africa into a safe foreigners account abroad. I need truthful person in this business because I don’t want to make mistake. I need your strong assurance and trust. With my position now in the office I can transfer the money to any foreigner’s reliable account, with assurance that the money will be intact pending my physical arrival in your country for sharing.
At the conclusion of this business, i will give you 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might incurs during the process of transferring the money, so if you are capable to handle this amount in strict confidence and trust according to my instruction and advise for our mutual benefits in life I am expecting your urgent reply. I look forward to your maximum co-operation and favorable reply.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. John Ndlovu.
Consignment Manager
Alert Security Company Pty Ltd.

Just a single box? It's definitely a scam.

Here's an interesting little fact I found:

Quote:
What does a Million Dollars weigh?

According to 419 letters, the security vaults of dozens of African storage facilities are jammed with boxes packed with millions of U.S. Dollars. The average amount stated is around $25,000,000.

Assuming that the Dollars have all been changed into $100 bills, $25,000,000. equals 250,000 - $100 bills.

A pound of U.S. currency notes, regardless of the denomination, contains 454 bills (Avoir du Poids system. Troy system is 375 bills/lb.*). That runs to a little over 550 pounds of money. Provided we're speaking of $100 bills, which are not that handy in 3rd world countries. The standard denomination is $20 bills.

Using the above calculation for $20 bills, we would be looking at 1,250,000 pieces of currency at close to 2,800 lbs., or over 1-½ tons of money.

American currency is 2.61 inches wide x 6.14 inches long x .0043 inches thick*. A standard box is 12x12x16. Packed in the most efficient manner possible, one would need at least 330 boxes to house $25,000,000.

The next time you receive a 419 letter asking for help in retrieving vaulted currency, you will know what questions to ask.

As a baiter I love asking about the shipping weight and size of the trunk full of money. It's fun to watch them squirm trying to come up with a believable number. :twisted:
