Dear Sir/General Manager/CEO,
I am Evangelist Austin Dube, the first son of late Dr. Kenneth Dube. I am a
citizen of Swaziland. My late father was the Owner of a leading Aluminum
Company in Swaziland but unfortunately he died in the year 2003 after a
protracted illness. But before his death, he has forsee the poor management
of the company and for the fact that myself being the first son is so
dedicated to church activities and too young to manage a large company of
that type and most of the director have already began to divert the net
profit being generated from the company.
He therefore arrange with his lawyer and sold the entire company to one Mr.
Alan Foster from Poland at the sum of US $9,000,000,(Nine Million Dollars).
Due to constant pressure from some of my relatives and also fear of likely
attack on my family to hijack the fund, my father arrange with my mother and
remove the fund through diplomatic means to one of the Finance and Trust
Company in South Africa, where I am currently staying with my mother and
two other sisters as refugee (Asylum Seekers).
However, I am into pastoral activities now and most of my time is been
dedicated to church activities. At the moment, we want to transfer the fund
to overseas account for investment because there is no good investment
atmosphere here in South Africa. I therefore need your assistance to enable
me transfer the fund into your private/companies account overseas so
that we can relocate to plan for the investment of the fund through your
personal assistance.
I need your assistance in investing the fund because I have no experience of
Investment/management of fund before. It is also my plan that after the
successful transfer of the fund into your overseas account, I will first
relocate my mother and other 2 sisters to stay with you, while I will
complete my theological school.
What I need from you is honest and sincerity because this fund is my life
and the life of my family. If you can assist us in this transaction, I will
give you 30% of the total fund for your assistance while 70% goes to my
family, which will remain in your account for (2 years) to enable
me complete my school and join my family to plan for the investments.
Please, be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free.
Call me or reply on: evangelistaustindube1@yahoo.com.
Regards and God bless.
Evangelist Austin Dube
