Subject: A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
FROM: MR. JOSHUA S.MOYO,
FAMILY-Email:joshuamoyo007@netscape.net
Dear Sir/Madam,
A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
I Know This Letter May Beat Your Imagination, As We Have No Previous
correspondence. My Name Is MR. JOSHUA MOYO, the son of a late sierra-Leonia
businessman, late DR.MARTIN MOYO, the owner of (RMS) mining company in
Sierra-Leone, Who died few years ago when the revolutionary united front
rebels (R.U.F) attacked our residence on the 11 of Feb. 2003 in Mokena
Sierra-Leone. Following the cease fire agreement which was reach last year
with the help of United Nation peace keeping troops, I used the opportunity
to leave the country with a very important document of (US$19.7M) NINETEEN
MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S Dollars deposited by my late father in
security company here in South Africa, under my name. This money was
realized from diamond export, now my mother and I are seeking asylum in
South Africa under (UNHCR).
I Contacted You Because Of The Need To Deal With Person Whom My Family And I
Have No Previous Personal Relationships, And I got Your Contact From the
Internet and I Confirmed Your Country as Being Economic Conducive For
Investment And Her People As Transparent And Trust-worthy To Engage In
Business, Hence My Reason For Writing You However, This Money In Question
Has Been In The Security Company Since His Death.
But My Main Problem Now Is That At My Age Of 28, I Am Confused On How to
Handle This Huge Amount Of Money And Also What To Do With It As I Don't Have
Anyone To Confide In South Africa Here.
May I Use This Medium To Request From You If You Will Be Disposed Enough To
Help Me Keep This Huge Amount In Your Country Or Any Other Place Of Your
Choice That Will Have More Security To The Money and the life of me and my
family.
I Have Meet The Security Company With The Depositional Documents That My
Father Left Behind, Of Which My Name Appears As The "Next Of Kin", The
Company awaits My Coming For The Withdrawal, And I am Even Afraid Of
Disclosing The Content to them Since My Father In His Letter Had Warned Me
Against That.
If It Appeals To You To Help Me, I Will Suggest You Take A Trip To South
Africa For Us To Meet Face To Face or I will I issue you a power of Attorney
as the new beneficiary of the deposit to you and refer you to the security
company aflicts in Spain ,London,ETC. And Finalize Before Moving The Fund or
if there is any other means you can suggest for the transferring of the fund
to your very position pending my arrival to meet with you for investing of
the money with any profitable business you introduce, as I have decided
to-do away with Africa entirely.
After the fund gets into your country through your assistance, 20% Of The
Total Amount Will Be for You and 5% for all the expenses that we might incur
in the curse of this transaction, Thanks and remain blessed.
I am waiting for your prompt reply
yours faithfully,
MR.JOSHUA S. MOYO.
