Hi,
I'm Alfred or Fred like you have it on my username. I know
its been a long while I've been unavailable on penpals as i had to delete
my account on Penpals when i got the information that we were leaving for
Africa. Anyways, i wanna discuss gold business with you, I am currently
serving in Central African Republic CAR, on a UN peace keeping mission.
You may be aware that this country has lots of GOLD and few days ago
my team intercepted some group of illegal gold smugglers trying to cross
over to South Sudan through the border between South Sudan And CAR,
with boxes full of GOLD, this syndicate works for the politicians
inciting civil unrest in this country.
However, while we were interrogating them another group coming behind
opened fire and we engaged them in a gun battle and killed many of them
while some escaped with bullet wounds. When we finally discovered what they
were carrying was gold which my men and I intercepted and decided to
share it among ourselves, I may not be so conversant with gold
business but, I can
tell the quantity of what I have here would worth over US$2m. I would
like you to assist me locate a gold dealer that could buy the gold so
I can ship them to you immediately and apply for a leave, to travel
down to meet with you so we can both sell and share whatever amount we
make from it together.
Do please reply asap if you are willing to assist.
Hope to hearing from you.
