Dear Zig Homo,
Homo, please email me more details. I run a large
computer firm here in Australia. It started out as a
family business, but we have expanded a great
deal in the past few years. I have under my belt a
project that would need
funding - but the result is worth millions. Obviously
I cannot state what it is, as we have not yet gone
into partnership.
If you are interested, please email me back with
further details of your proposition.

RE: SEEKING INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
May i first of all apologise for the delay in response it was due to
the fact that i was out of town on an official business.I thank you very
much for your prompt response and your decision to assist us in this
mutually beneficial project i have read your mail and basically i feel
that we can work together as we are most interested in the computer
industry and we hear that australia is a highly potential market so in a nut
shell we will indeed be very interested to hear your proposal and if it
is to our satisfaction we will indeed like to proceed with this
partnership,may i please first of all apologise for my means of unsolicited
communication without any formal introduction but it was the urgent need
to move this funds out that led to it,we have been actively involved in
setting up some major corporations and industries within Eastern europe
and Africa but recently we seem to be having problems setting up a high
yield safe investment for our clients mostly becuase the Afric
an business climate is not so good and the political climate is
terrible infact we just suffered a huge loss in cote de'voire recently all
this has made the urgent need to extend our area of opearation
absolutely neccessary hence the need for this contact as we need to recoup our
losses as soon as possible by expanding our investment scope by seeking
foreign partners that can come up with solid investment ideas .
For purpose of clarity, we are a financial firm that specialises in
creating confidential avenues for Third world countries leaders and
individuals to move and invest funds,basically we do not always question the
source of the funds but we always make sure that it is not proceed from
drugs or to be used for terrorist activities as we do not want to be
charged for money laundering also At this junction before we proceed
there are major points about our firm that we feel is imperative that we
reveal to you,firstly we deal with investments from 10m DOLLARS and
above. 2: We do not engage in anything illegal but sometimes our mode of
opearation may seem somewhat unconventional as we deal on the basis of
strict confidentiality to protect our clients but we will never indulge in
anything illegal.3:We will not be in a position to advance you any
funds for any initial expenses as we believe that any partner of us should
at least have that capability to handle such as it arises but not
e that we will not be charging you any advance to pay to us before you
recieve the principal funds.Also note that In some cases after
clarifying the authencity of this funds we sometimes have to be actively
involved in moving this funds out but in such cases we usually charge a
professional fee to our client that owns this funds and has requested this
extra service based on the total sum when we do this we shall inform you
and will be willing to offer you also a share in this fee that is If
you decide to work with us as partners we will be offering you a
percentage of this fee once you agree to assist us in moving this funds
out.Most of this funds because of it's origin require a foriegner with a
foriegn account and based abroad to apply for this funds to be
transferred.Once you signify your total assurance then i will reveal more
information to you but be rest assured that it is completely risk free
everything has already been put in place for a successful completion of t
he transaction i can assure you that within 12 working days we shall
have everything transferred to you but first of all we need your
business proposal stating clearly how you intend to invest this funds and
estimated revenue,an executive summary then we need to sign an agreement
between our companies.
We presently have clients willing to invest between 30 to 90 million us
dollars so we believe we can accomodate any request within that
scope.In all our transaction once you agree to our terms of confidentiality
i
will inform you of the identity of my client so you will understand
the need for total confidentiality in which i must employ you to adhere
to the principle of such communication which involves you signyfying
your positive position towards the non-circumvention/non-disclosure
agreements in which you agree not to reveal anything i say to you from now on
if you feel otherwise i suggest that you totally forget the whole
transaction right now.My client has an urgent need to have this done
immidiately that is why i am taking this chance i sincerely hope you do not
let me down.
Also i will need to have a brief history of your firm with details of
your past projects also i need to have from you your full contact
details incuding your mailing address,phone and fax details
I hope i have made myself clearer but if you need more information
please feel free to contact me directly on the above email or my direct sat
no +8821621164660 as i travel a lot.i look forward to hearing from you
soon.

Dear Dr Salmon,
The current project which would improve greatly with some funding is,
HB.
HyperBarker technology is a high-speed, low latency, point-to-point link
designed to increase the communication speed between integrated circuits
in computers, servers, embedded systems, and networking and
telecommunications equipment up to 256 times faster than some existing
technologies.
HyperBarker technology helps reduce the number of buses in a system,
which can reduce system bottlenecks and enable today's faster
microprocessors to use system memory more efficiently in high-end
multiprocessor systems.
HyperBarker technology is designed to:
Provide significantly more bandwidth than current technologies.
Use low-latency responses and low pin counts.
Maintain compatibility with legacy PC buses while being extensible to
new SNA (Systems Network Architecture) buses.
Appear transparent to operating systems and offer little impact on
peripheral drivers.
HyperBarker technology was invented at SBT (Scarlett Barker Technolgies).
SBT was founded in 2001 in Sydney, Australia. Before it was SBT, the
company was known as DJF. DJF gave a lot of people the red carpet
treatment - they even went as far as taking nests out of neighbours
gutters. Although primarily a computer company, you see they had their
hands in many pies.
The company was started by my brother Bruce and his wife Sheila. Sheila
was originally from Dundee, Scotland but emigrated in the early
eighties, after splitting from her first husband, Rolf. Two years ago,
they made me the MD of the company as they went onto pastures new and I
then renamed the company and set about going into a different direction.
So far it has been very successful with an abundance of well known
clients.
Past projects include helping with the development for computer component
parts for Intel, AMD, MSI etc.

Dear Friend,
I thank you for your response, i am presently in Lesotho in Southern Africa hence my delay in response i am in the process of concluding discussion with a very important client you can reach me on phone via my sat phone the number is +8821621164660
I have read your mail and i feel you have a good investment layout and business profile right now i have no reservation at the moment,based on this i will gladly like to establish a partnership with you as we will indeed very much like to be involved in the infotech industry and from your mail it is obvious that you have a technology that the world will gladly be interested in i will be willing to invest fully into this idea i want to know are we going to be working with HyperBarker technology or Scarlett Barker Technolgies.Right now my client in lesotho has informed me that she has 30 million us dollars that she wishes to use my services in taking full charge of this funds and establishing a very safe and sound investment with a comfortable yield so we will be working on that first, also there are certain circustances surrounding her personality hence she has requested that her involvement be kept strictly confidential which i plan to do and since you have also assured me that you will have no problem with that i feel at this point i can trust you with that information as i will wish above all things that we establish a partnership based on total trust,honesty and confidentiality.
Friend,what i am about to reveal to you now is of very great importance and i will want you to handle it with caution because if word should get into the wrong hands it might cause a great scandal.My client is Mrs Juliana Sole the wife of Masupha Ephraim Sole, former chief executive officer of the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority i am sure that you would have heard about thier problem in Lesotho ever since her husband went to jail and they got almost all thier funds and property confisticated things have been very hard for thier family also investigation is still going on and it has put her family in a very desperate situation as they have lost all thier investments and money in lesotho, like i told you she has confidentialy sought my assistance and informed me that she currently has 30 million us dollars that was moved out of Lesotho to a secured location in Europe in cash and she wishes my firm to take charge of this funds and on this particular transaction considering the extra favour we are giving her by accepting this funds on her behalf.she is willing to give us immidiately a commission of 20% which i propose we split both ways between us,but before we proceed i would like us to sign a partnership agreement to this effect if this okay with you please send a confidential fax number so i can send you a draft copy of the agreement.
My client has also set out her terms that she wishes for us to handle her funds and they are as follows one she has said that she requires that we keep the funds for a minimum period of 12 months, at an interest of 3% P.A. (period extensions will be renegotiated after 16 months elapse)also the 3% interest rate is based on the total sum of funds after your 10% and my 10% (total of 20%) with any other expenses incured in the process of securing the funds has been deducted. She has also requested a 10% equity share on the proposed investment. The 10% equity share is based on the profit retained after the annual 3% interest has been extracted from the total. This is the total terms of this investment loan if this is ok with you then we will indeed be very rich and happy in our new found partnership.
I wish to add that my client is not in anyway involved with the rumours going
on about her husband she has been one of the wealthiest ladies in lesotho before
all this happened her grandfather was one of the first individuals to own diamond
mines in the late 18 century and this wealth has been passed down so understand
that it was the negative publicity and the fear of loosing her hard earned wealth
that led her to seek our confidential assistance through this means becuase
there is bound to be speculation linking her to her husband which is baseless
as this funds have already been deposited in europe before her husbands problems
started so be rest assured that all this funds are clean money.
What i will need for you to do now is to make the required contact with the firm in Armsterdam and with the neccessary documentation which she has handed to me to present yourself as the beneficiary of the funds and take charge for this you will need to be present physically in Armsterdam to sign the release of this funds from the security firm in which this funds is lodged.I will need to know how soon you will be able to travel as my client has impressed on me a slight need for urgency as she is in need to have this done as soon as possible.I know that this transaction might seem a little unorthodox to you but be rest assured that it is totally legal and riskfree and we also stand to gain a lot if we go through with this so think carefully about everything i have told you first before we proceed.
I look forward to your urgent response if there is anything you need also to know please feel free to contact me or call me.

Dear Dr Salmon,
Thank you for your email. Firstly I would like to know how I should address you?
Secondly, HyperBarker Technology is the name of the project, Scarlett Barker Technologies is the name of the company. I hope that makes it clear.
Thirdly, you stated that I must contact a firm in Armsterdam. I guess this is Amsterdam, Holland. Would you like me to contact any firm or do you have specific details for what firm you would like me to contact?
Fourthly, I have tried to ring the number you gave to me, but all I get is some foreign speaking person who doesnt understand English, or at least my Australian accent. I'd rather not make expensive international mobile telephone calls at this stage. Email is better.
Fifthly, I am jetting to Europe on business for a couple of weeks at the end
of this week. I will be back in Australia for the 12th August or so.
I hope this wont jepodise our transaction, but I really have to go as I need
to meet up with the top brass at IBM and Cisco in their European offices, to
talk about HyperBarker Technology. I will check my email from time to time.
I could infact go to Amsterdam after my meetings if this expedite matters.
Regards, Scarlett Barker

I will be travelling to Europe tonight. I will be checking my emails when I
can. I will need to buy a new phone when I get to my destination as I dropped
my mobile down the toilet last night and the water ruined the circuitry.
It slipped out of my pocket as I went to sit down. I dont have time to get a
replacement from my phone provider. It's most annoying and inconvenient.
