Business Contact
I am DR.ZUMA .K. L.THAMBO (PhD), a South African and a senior civil servant
(General Supervisor) in the South African Gold and Diamond Mining and
processing Krugersdorp, the immediate junior brother of MR.OLIVER THAMBO
(Africa National Congress ANC) (who was assassinated during the apartheid
(ignoble and unhappy) regime.
On 24th April 1994, when apartheid was dismantled the South African
Government decided to compensate the families of all the freedom fighters
that lost their lives during the struggle by placing the educated elites in
high offices in South Africa among which my family was included.
For instance, Nelson Mandela was compensated by being the first president of
South Africa, Richard Parkers 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 etc.
In fact, I got your contact/credibility from South African information
Exchange, analyzed and assisted by the South African Chamber of Commerce and
Industry where I however, read your companys profile believing in its
reputable capabilities, as regards my intensive purposes to you.
As a matter of fact, I have accumulated sufficiently US$35 Million (Thirty
five Million United States Dollars) by the great position of my office as a
senior civil servant in the South African Gold and diamond Mining and
Processing Krugersdorp. Presently, this fund is absolutely kept in an
insurance suspense holding of a Private security and Brokerage Company in
South Africa. The deposit 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 African does not give me any possible room to invest or
utilize this fund in my country as the law strictly prohibits it, if the
government of my country hears about it, the fund will be confiscated. This
fund is my struggle and sweats through commissions from unaccountable
contracts and other profitable additions from the companys original cost
price mostly gained from customers around the world.
Therefore, my plan / intention about this fund is to invest it overseas for
me and my family especially into a straight forward, trustworthy and God
fearing person less taxable account overseas ultimately for investment
purposes. Using your name /company as the beneficiary of the money to avoid
government intervention (South African government).
20% will be your share for assisting me. And 80% will be for me and my
family subject to investment in your country. If you are interested in
assisting me, please notify me immediately with the above phone numbers, and
e-mail address. But if in any case you may not render, please maintain the
high level of confidentiality needed in this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
DR.ZUMA .K. L.THAMBO {PhD}
