Subject: Greeting from Dr. Frank
{INTRODUCTION}
I am Dr.Frank Radebe (Ph.D.), a South African and Senior Civil Servant (General
Supervisor) in the South African Gold and Diamond Mining and processing company
"Krugersdrop".
The immediate junior brother to late Khumalo Radebe of the African National
Congress (ANC) who was assassinated during the apartheid regime.
On the 23rd April 1994 when the apartheid was dismantled the South African
Government decided to compensate the families of all the freedom fighters
that lost their lives during the struggle by placing the educated elite in
the high offices in South Africa among which my family was included.
For instance, Nelson Mandela was compensated by being the first President
of South Africa, Richard Parkers was appointed the manager of Shell and BP
South Africa Petroleum and Refinery (S.A.P.R.), my brother Jeff Radebe was
appointed the Minister of Finance etc.
Hello Dear,
Compliment of the season to you and your entire family, I got your contact
from the South African Information Exchange as regards my intensive purposes
to you.
As a matter of fact, I have accumulated sufficiently US$18.5 Million (Eighteen
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) by the great position
of my office as a senior civil servant in the South African Gold and Diamond
Mining and processing company "Krugersdorp".
Presently, the fund is absolutely kept in an insurance suspense holding
in a private security company in South Africa.
The deposition of this fund was made easier for me with a very strong written
agreement and signatory in a different beneficiary under my control.
Being that South African does not give me any possible room to invest or
utilize this fund in my country as the law strictly prohibits, if the government
hears about it, the fund will be confiscated.
This fund is my struggle and sweat through commissions from the uncountable
contracts and other profitable additions from the company?s original cost
price mostly gained from customers around the world.
Therefore, my intention about this fund is to transfer it overseas for my
family and me especially into a straight forward, trustworthy and "GOD" fearing
person, less taxable account overseas ultimately for investment purpose.
Using your name/company name as the beneficiary of the money to avoid government
intervention (South African Government). 20% will be your share for assisting
me, 75% will be for my family and me and subject for investment in your country,
while 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during the course of
this transaction.
If you are interested in assisting me, please forward to me your contact
information such as name, your country where you are from, your present state
if working, marital statue, phone/fax number for easy and further information/and
discussion.
Yours faithfully,
DR.FRANK RADEBE.
