ATTN: MD/CEO ,
I am Pastor Kan, the first son of Late Lufuno Kan.
I am a citizen of Swaziland. My father was the managing
director of Lufuno Aluminium Company in Swaziland but very
unfortunately he died in the year 2001 after a
protracted illness. Due to poor management of the company
in my country and for the fact that I am so dedicated to
church activities, I realized that I will be unable to
manage the company and so soon it may wind up . I also
realized that I am too young to manage a large company of
that type and most of the directors have already began to
divert the net profit being generated from the company, I
therefore arranged with my father's lawyer and sold the
entire company to Mr. Alan Foster from Poland at the price
of US$30MILLION US DOLLARS (THIRTY MILLION U S DOLLARS)
Due to constant pressure from some of my relatives and
also fear of likely attack on my family to hijack the
fund, I arranged with my mother to transfer the fund into a
security company in Johannesburg, South Africa where I am
currently staying with my mother and other two younger
sisters. However, I am into pastorial activities now and I
have most of my time dedicated to church activities.
At the moment, we want to transfer the fund to oversea
country 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/company's account over there so that we can
relocate to plan for the investment of the fund through
your personal assistance. I mostly need your assistance in
investing the fund because I have little experience of
investment/management of the fund. It is also my plan that
after the successful transfer of the fund into your
account there, I will first relocate my mother and other
2 sisters to stay with you while I will first travel to
United States of America to complete my theological school.
What I mostly 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 25% of the
total fund while 75% will remain in your account for 2
years to enable me complete my school and then join my
other relatives to plan for our family investments.
Please, be assured that this transaction is 100% risk free,
but you must keep it confidential. If you can assist us,
kindly send me an urgent email to indicate your interest.
I await your soonest response
PASTOR KAN
