Johannesburg South Africa.
ATTENTION,
I Know how much surprise you will be to receive this message bearing in
mind
that you don't know me neither do I. But through my little explanation I
will
like you to calm down your surprises and fears. I am TONY YENGENI a SOUTH
AFRICAN by birth, a former chief whip of the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC)
the
ruling political party here in SOUTH AFRICA and
a member of parliament (MP). My position as the then chief whip afforded me
the
opportunity to
chair(chairman) the contract awarding committee of SOUTH AFRICAN arms deal.
An
insight to this, many companies lobbed for the right to be awarded the
contract
at the end Three Companies were considered to supply the nation arms at the
value of R53 billion (fifty three billion rands)
As a pay back for my influential role in ensuring that the contract was
given
to them received
enormous gifts both cash and in kind, which includes cars and houses in
three
of South Africa's fines suburbs and a cash amount of US$7.8 MILLION (Seven
million eight hundred thousand united states dollars)
Due to the democratic laws prohibiting members of government from owning
foreign accounts it is difficult to move this fund my self out of my
country,
and cannot move this sum into any bank here by my self considering the
question
that will be asked. The only option was to deposit it as valuables to the
sum
mentioned above, with a security company my uncle who has recently passed
away
of long cancer was the depositor while my signatory stands as the sole
beneficiary.
But I have been making news for some time now over my involvement in what
the
public and opposition party termed CONTROVERCIAL ARMS DEAL and has been
charged
for fraud ,bribery and corruption .the pressure was enormous that i had to
relinquish my position as the chief whip of the ANC.But these should not
induce
any kind of fear in you ,how ever
the amount in question was not part of the news making.
It is based on these grounds that i seek a FOREIGNER AND A FOREIGN
ASSISTANCE,
to help me clear this money from the security company and transfer it into
his
trusted nominated bank account. I am ready to send to you the photocopy of
my
Identity document as a guarantee should i betray you during the course of
transaction which you can use as an evidence, and may report me to any
authority
should i betray you guarantee you that this transaction is 100%risk free but
your understanding and interest will be much appreciated by me. For your
assistance i will offer you 25% (TWENTY FIVE PERCENT) of the whole sum after
a
successful transfer
.
For more information regarding my situation please log in to www.sabc.co.za

response.

telephonically
