Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Evangelist Ernest Bongani, the first son of late Dr.John Bongani. I am a
citizen of Swaziland. My late father was the managing director of Aluminum
Company in Swaziland
but unfortunately he died in the year 2002 after a protracted illness. Due to
poor management of the company in my country and for the fact that I am so dedicated
to church activities realized that I am too young to manage a large company of that
type and most of the director have already began to divert the net profit being
generated from the company.
I therefore arrange with my father?s lawyer and sold the entire company to Mr. Alan
Foster from Poland at the price of US$20,500.000,00(Twenty Million,Five Hundred
Thousand
United States Dollars). Due to constant pressure from some of my relatives and also
fear of likely attack on my family to hijack the fund, I arrange with my mother to
transfer
the fund to one of the security and finance company in South Africa, where I am
currently staying with my mother and other sister. However, I am into pastoral
activities now and most of my time is been dedicated to church activities. At the
moment, we want to transfer the fund to overseas account for investment because
there is no good investment atmosphere here in South Africa.
I therefore need your assistance to enable me transfer the fund into your
private/companies
account overseas so that we can relocate to plan for the investment of the fund
through your personal assistance. I need your assistance in investing the fund
because I have
little experience of investment/management of the fund. It is also my plan that
after the successful transfer of the fund into your overseas account, I will first
relocate my mother and other sister to stay with you, while I will complete my
theological school. What I need from you is honest and sincerity because this fund
is my life and the life of my family.
If you can assist us in this transaction, I will give you 25% of the total fund for
your assistance,and 5% for any expenses both parties may incur during the process of
the transfer while 70% will remain in your account for (2 years) to enable me
complete my school and join my family to plan for the investments.Please, be assured
that this transaction is 100% risk free. I await your soonest response.
Regards and God bless.
Evangelist Ernest Bongani.
