REQUEST FOR INVESTMENT
SIR/Madam,
My name is Mr.Mike Tutu; I work with an Investment bank in South Africa
(Foreign Deposit Dept). There is an Investor from Democratic Republic of
Congo [DRC] former Minister, I personally manage his fund.
I received instruction from him to look for a reliable foreign partner/investor
to transfer all his capital and interest amounting $28,300,000.00 USD, since
he is in prison for [political motivated offence] and under probe in DRC and
his family recently arrived Mozambique for safety, He told me that the money
originated from gratification from some foreign/local contractors he helped to
secure contracts and supplies during crisis.
This transfer becomes necessary because last week DRC Government has
sent a letter to Government of South Africa requesting her assistance to trace
all money lodged in her bank starting from era of Mobutu.
Requirements:
Suitable account that will contain all the money with low taxes. All documents
relating the transaction will accompany the transfer.
Kindly sort for an honest person/corporate organization who will help to invest
the fund and you will be adequately rewarded for assisting in this project, all urgent!
Regards,
Mr.Mike Tutu.
