REQUEST FOR INVESTMENT
Sir/Madam,
My name is Mr. Alex Tutu; A Director of a Security
Company in South Africa. There is an Investor from
Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] former Minister,
who lodged some fund cash {for safekeeping}
I received instruction from him to look for a reliable foreign
partner/investor who can receive and manage the fund
for him until his ordeal with the Government is over,
currently his is under detention and probe, his offence is
political motivated {he is aspiring for the office of the
president come next election} However the money
originated from gratification/under the counter sales
of copper, in his ministry, DRC has the largest deposit
of copper in the world. The amount is $58,600,000.00 USD.
The need to move the money out from African shores arise
from recent letter sent to South African Government by DRC
Authority requesting her assistance to trace all money lodged
in her bank/Security Companies also the minister's family
recently arrived Mozambique for safety.
Kindly sort for an honest person/investor who will help to
invest the fund and you will be adequately rewarded for
assisting in this project, all-urgent!
Regards.
