Dear Sir
It may come to you as a surprise hearing from me, but to be precise I got your data from the your e-mail site member directory in my search for a competent
business personalities/hard working person who is willing and able to be my friend and partner, to liaise with me in order to execute a project which I am
convinced that you are capable and trusted to do this business with me.
I am Collins Msika Christopher, 52 years old, I am from Cape Town, in South Africa I work with Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited. I have now
developed the interest in having a business investment outside South Africa without my employers knowing about it. Hence I contacted you for friendship and
business relationship. The fund in question is proposed for this project worth US$14.8million (Fourteen Million, Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars Only), which I
will like you to receive on my behalf and to invest it in your business or in any business that you think will be profitable in your country.
Please Note: This fund came as a result of a multi-national company that we helped to secure an Platinum drilling contract some years ago. Because of our
interest, the contract was over-invoiced to the above mentioned amount and after the contract, the company received their actual contract sum and went back to
their country leaving behind this over-inflated sum for me and my colleagues to claim. Now the time has come for me to process and move the fund out for
investment, but I cannot do it on my own since I am still working with the Corporation.
I need your help so that I can use you or your company to process the release of the fund as if you are receiving a payment of an executed contract. Please let
me know about yourself and also let me know if you can be able to receive the money on my behalf and invest it in your company or any good and profitable
business in your country without exposing me, so that we can commence with the process of transfer. All you need to send immediately is your Full Name and
contact details that will enable facilitate the Normalization process. Your share will be 20% for your assistance, while I will take 75% and 5% will take
care of any expenses that will be incurred in the cause of transfer. Please write back if only you know you are capable enough to execute this project with
me.
Looking forward to your cooperation.
Yours faithfully
Collins Msika Christopher
