(Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) was originally
purchase my Mr.Lucio Manfred and leased to the Transvaal orange mining
corporation 1975.
Since the maturity of this contract in September 1998, several attempts have
been without success to contact Mr.Lucio Manfred or any of his close
relatives in whose favour the investment cash can be paid.My partner who is
the account director at the Ministry of Mining and two of our colleagues
have initiated the process of filling a claim for this money with the hope
of having the funds transferred abroad.

South Africa Ministry of mining and Natural Resources indicating that you
were appointed by Mr.Lucio Manfred to be the beneficiary to this fund .when
the claim is approved, you as the beneficiary will be paid the sum of
Us$9,500.000.00.

you have a liability to ensure that my partner and I receive 75% of the
total sum while you keep 20% for your assistance and a further 5% will be
mapped out for any expenses that we may incurred in the process of this
transaction. Please we urge you to keep this matter very confidential
because we are still in active public service in South Africa.
I want to assure you that my partners are in position to make the payment of
this claim possible provided you can give us a very strong guarantee that
our share will be well secure and that you will not take advantage of our
position since the money will be transfer to a bank account that you will
nominate.
Be assured that there is absolutely nothing to worry about in view of this
claim. It is perfectly save with no risk involved and it is not subject to
any enquiry since my partner will be handling the claim directly in South
Africa on our behalf.
