Dear Sir/Madam,

I am Evangelist Henry Npofu, the first son of late Dr.John Npofu. 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)
o 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.
EvangelistHenry Npofu.
