FROM:MR.GREG THAMBO.
JOHHANESBURG- 2021
SOUTH AFRICA.
RE-BUSINESS ENQUIRY
Dear Sir.
I am Mr. Greg Thambo a South African and a senior civil servant (General
supervisor) with South African Gold and Diamond Mining and Processing
company Krugersdrop, the immediate younger brother to Mr. Oliver Thambo
(African National Congress- ANC) who died in Johannesburg after a long
illness after he returned to South Africa in 1990 following many years of
living in exile, including in Tanzania , Sweden.
On the 24th April 1994, when apartheid was dismantled, the South African
Government decided to compensate the families of all the Freedom Fighters
who lost their lives during the struggle by placing the educated elites in
high offices in South African Government.( KNOWN AS BLACK EMPOWERMENT
PROGRAMME HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA) among which my family was included. For
instance, Nelson Mandela was compensated with being the first president of
the Republic of South Africa; Richard Parkes was appointed the manager of
Shell and BP South Africa petroleum and refinery (S.A.P.R), Jeff Radebe was
appointed the Minister of public Enterprises and Trevor Manual was appointed
the Finance Minister.
In fact, I got your contact / credibility from South African information
exchange assisted by the south African Chamber of Commerce and Industry
where I however read your company profile believing in its reputable
capability as regards my intensive purposes to you.
As a matter of fact, I have accumulated sufficiently USD$5 MILLION(Five
Million United States Dollars) by virtue of my position in the office as a
senior civil servant in the South African Gold and Diamond mining company
Krugersdrop. Presently, this fund is absolutely kept in an insurance
suspense holding in a private security company in South Africa. The
deposition of this fund was made easier for me with a very strong written
agreement and signatory in a different beneficiary under my control.
Being a South Africa serving civil servant, it is very difficult for me to
invest this fund here in my country’s the law strictly prohibits. If the
government got knowledge of it, the fund will be confiscated. I have no
doubt that you understand this point very well. This fund is my struggle and
sweat through commissions from unaccountable contracts and other profitable
additions from the company’s original cost price mostly gained from
customers around the world.
Therefore, my plan and intention about this fund is to transfer it overseas
into a straightforward, trustworthy and God-fearing person’s less taxable
account for investment purpose only. Using your name/company as the
beneficiary of the fund to avoid my government’s intervention. Last time, I
got in contact with some one from South Korea but he became unnecessarily
greedy concerning his commission in the deal before I decided to contact
you.
If you are interested in assisting me, please notify me immediately on the
above private telephone number or send me e-mail on my very confidential
e-mail address. But if you are not in position to assist me, please maintain
the high level of confidentiality needed in this Transaction.
Yours Faithfully.
Mr. Greg Thambo
