Dear Sir/Madam
I have a business proposal, which I know might Interest you. My name is
DR David Zulu medical Doctor and the sole proprietor of {DAVID CLINIC} specialist
hospital.
I have a widow here in my clinic who is on a political Asylum {Refugee}
in Johannesburg, South Africa Refugee Camp, she has been so ill for some
couple of months now. This woman confided in me based on the free medical
attention I have been given to her and her children. She had revealed to
me of her life history and about her late husband who was a top military
officer in one of the West African country (Sierra-Leone) before his death
during the civil war and the fortune she inherited from her late husband.
She has asked me to source a credible and trustworthy partner abroad who
will manage her funds for investment, the sum of Twenty Million US Dollars
(US$20m), which her late husband deposited in a safe Fiduciary Agent in
Europe through a Security Company based in South Africa. I wish to choose
you for this venture, She have mapped out 25%for your humble assistance
and 5% for any expenses might be incurred during the process of this transaction
and 70% for her Family I believe you will be in the position to assist in
managing this large sum in a profitable venture and also to help create
a safe heaven for her and her children by making a residence arrangement
for them in your country.
After she had disclosed this information to me; I saw the reason to request
from her to allow me see the documents relating to this deposit of which
she did, now I have the documents covering the deposit which I will not
hesitate to fax to you the copies as a prove for your confirmation as soon
as I receive your response via email. I am obliged to assist this lady knowing
too well that she has a limited knowledge in the business world and as such
she can not manage this funds herself and in Africa in order to avoid any
trace of her by the government, I will need from you a mutual understanding
and then we shall make plans on how the funds would be secured into an account
in your name in your companies name; after which you will arrange and travel
immediately to meet with the security company Agent in Europe for clearing.
This amount is contained in a sealed trunk box and it is registered and
declared as containing family Treasures, so even as I am writing to you
now the Security company and it's Agent is not aware that there is cash
money in the trunk.
From my discussion with her, she has agreed to give you a reasonable amount
of percentage for your Involvement in this and this has to be discussed
upon the receipt of your quick response.
Thanks and God bless for your understanding,
Sincere regards,
TELEPHONE 27-83-752-4656
