Dear Friend,

proposal of this magnitude , this is solely because of the confidentiality
nature repose on the net; before I go on further, I must be grateful to
introduce myself. My name is Mr. Benard Kofi Zuma from the republic of South
Africa .My (late) father DR.zuma Kent Williams was the managing director
of the Gold Mine company in SOUTH AFRICA. But he was assasinated by his
business assoicate and all his properties was totally destroyed, however,I
managed to escape with some of my father's valid documents covering Forty
Millions and Five Hundred United States Dollars (US$40.5M) which is presently
deposited safely in a finance/scurity company in the Netherlands where I
now reside as a refugee; and I do not have the intention of returning home
for fear of being assassinated by my father's business associate.MY REQUEST
As a result of my present situation as a refugee who cannot have access
to own an account or accounts, I am therefore faced with the dilemma of
seeking for a trustworthy individual/firm that can advise me in making the
rightful investment as well as to provide account(s) where the funds will
be lodge into. More also, we are at the interim interested in buying properties
for residence as we been residing there in the near future. Please be aware
that my family are also in a safe location and I am in contact with them.
COMMISSION/REMUNERATION; As regard yourcommission/remuneration, my family
and I have decided to offer you 25% of the total sum and also set aside
5% for all your expenses (i.e telephone bills, traveling expenses, hotel
bills and other miscellaneous expenses). NOTE: I shall commit half of my
own share of the total sum into a joint venture project preferably in the
purchase of Real Estate or other profitable business venture within your
knowledge existing in your area. Be assured that you stand no risk of any
kind as the funds in question belong to us alone. As soon as I get your
consent, I will furnish you with the details and contact of the Finance/Security
Company and after a few more details have being communicated, we shall then
proceed to arrange for a face to face meeting in order to know each other
better and also discuss the terms and conditions of the partnership extensively.I
strongly believe that associating with you to embark on this and other business
ventures will derive a huge success hereafter and it will be a long lasting
business association. If you have any question, do not fail to contact me
with my e-mail address (benardkofi@netscape.net) I await your anticipated
co-operation.
Yours truly,
Mr.Benard Kofi Zuma .
