Subject: SAVE A CARRIER
Dear Sir 03=07=05
I know you will be surprise to read from me, as I got your contact from the internet I am Mr. PATRICK MORIS MOROKA JR the Personal Adviser to MR JACOB ZUMA (the South African vice president) on personal Matters. Due to the state of things (political matters) in the country now which I strongly believe you must have heard and Be aware of, His personal Adviser on financial matters Mr. SHAIK SCHABIR has been found guilty of some financial fraud and has been sentenced to15yrs imprisonment without any option of fine . This case for which he was sentenced, has a lot to do with the Vice President even though the tried very hard to cover the Vice President (Mr. Jacob Zuma). But now the vice President has been relived of his duties as the vice president and the second citizen of this country by the President and the parliament. This means that the vice President will very soon face the jury to clear his name on the financial fraud issue.
As the P.A. on personal matters, I have been detailed to find a way to cover or remove all things or anything that will implicate the Vice President once he goes on trial. It is because of this that I am writing to you to solicit for your help in removing the large some of money in one of his accounts in this country. This amount of was given to him by some of the businessmen he used his office to help do business with the government of this country. One of this account has the sum of $ 32M(THIRTY-TWO million US Dollars) in it and needs to be removed before the investigation gets on the way to avoid the SARS (South African Anti robbery Squad) and the Scorpions from discovering it, which if they do will mar the political carrier and life of Mr. Vice President and may even put him in Jail
.
Please I am seriously soliciting for your help towards saving my Boss life and carrier, together with the above fund.
When this transaction is finished we shall reward you handsomely by giving you 15% of the total sum and a personal appreciation. Please do act fast so that we can get started with every other thing that needs to be done. You do not need to fear anything as I and my colleagues are working day and night (24hrs) to see that all lop holes are covered to have a successful transfer of this money from South Africa to where ever your bank is located without the SARS and SCOPIONS finding or knowing about the transaction.
You can contact me on this e-mail address patrickmorisjr3@yahoo.com or my direct number +27-73-840-8432
