Subject: URGENT INVESTMENT/JOINT VENTURE PROPOSAL
FROM THE DESK OF:-
BARRISTER H. L. WILLIAMS
DUPLESES CHAMBERS #38
SELISS ST. YEOVILLE 2001
JOHANNEBURG, SOUTH AFRICA.
PHONE: + 27 728183020
SUBJECT: INVESTMENT/JOINT VENTURE PROPOSAL
I run a Consultancy firm and I read your profile and got your contact
through the Internet in my quest for a foreign investment for the son of my
late client. My late client Engineer Peter Buthelezi was in the precious
stone industry and owns mines in Sudan. He also used to deal (buy and sell)
in diamonds from Angola and Democratic Republic of Congo (former Zaire)
before international ban was placed on diamonds from war torn countries.
Hence his most elderly son Mr. Johnson Buthelezi together with his family
who are now refugees in South Africa stopped his diamond business due to the
war monger in Sudan and wants to diversify his investment portfolio by
investing abroad in different sector on partnership basis.
The followings are the family specifications for your consideration and
immediate attention:
1. Investment capital is Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars [US$12,500,000.00] lodged in a private security company here in
South Africa by their late father before his assasination.
2. Area of interest - real estate, hotel, transportation, civil
construction, industries, and fisheries. 3. Shares subject to negotiation.
Please, If you are interested to enter into partnership with the family you
should be prepared to come to South Africa to sign agreement with the family
that will protect their interest before they releases and remit the capital
to the designated account for the project after which Mr. Johnson Buthelezi
will travel back with you to finalize and set up the business. Due to their
status here in South Africa as refugees they are not permitted to have any
investment/financial transaction since the law of South Africa prohibits
same. So, it is based on this they wish to look for a foreign partner who
will manage the fund base on agreement untill their relocation to your
country.
Please kindly note that you need not reply if you are not satisfied with the
above conditions as the family will prefer to deal with somebody serious as
the entire management and running of this venture will be your
responsibility. Kindly give this proposal an urgent attention, as the family
needs this information as soon as possible.

I look forward to your immediate response.
Sincerely Yours,
