Subject: Investment Proposal
ATTN:Managing Director.
Sir
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in matter that is very important
and needs utmost trust and confidence.
I am John Mark., a close confidant of one of South African most
powerful family. The wife of former top Government official, a gold
magnet (Original owner of Kruger Gold Co).i.e. Late Chief Bamunga
Sango Mbeki, former Junior Minister of Mines and Power Federal
republic of South Africa.
Unfortunately, he died soon after handing over because the new
government wanted to probe his activities while in office for
financial appropriations. Presently, all his foreign and local account
was frozen and their assets confiscated.
The wife wishes to move out of South Africa the sum of US$42Million
she wishes to invest the aforementioned sum in viable investment
overseas. For obvious reasons, my client does not want to place this
fund with established financial institution with the family name for
security reasons. It is her desire that the deal be handled as quietly
as possible without possibility of any leakage to public or
government.
She has therefore empowered me to find and negotiate for a reliable
and trustworthy foreigner who can assist to invest the fund properly
for the family. If you agree to act as a fund manager for my client
and the family, I shall release the sum of US$42Million to you if you
with a private security company coded and lodged in with a fictitious
name.
Upon a favorable response from you, I shall let you know of the steps involved.
1 Your full names
2 Your present contact address.
3 Your telephone & Fax numbers.
4 Your Occupations/age/sex.
5 Your Private Email Address.
Your commission shall be down payment of 15% of the total sum, that is
US$6.3 and annual 10% of the after tax returns on investment for the
first 5 years.
Thereafter, the terms shall be re-negotiated. If you are capable and
willing to participate in this transaction contact me through my above
email for a heart to heart discussion, less I look for someone else.
Regards.
John Mark.
