getting the money out of South Africa because the South African monetary
policy is not favorable to
people like myself who have no permanent residence status.

sensitive and unstable,
investing here would only limit my chances and reduce my opportunities.
In acknowledgment of executive powers and the various business,
opportunities in your country, I am requesting your assistance in helping me
transfer this money in your personal or business account. After the transfer
is accomplished, I will then join you in your copuntry for subsequent
investments there. For your assistance in this transaction, I and my family
agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum of the money for assistance and 5%
for any expenses you incur during this transaction.
