ATTN:
I humbly solicit your support and assistance for a very important and CONFIDENTIAL business and offshore investment. I am MR SIBULO JOHN.a chartered accountant by profession and the Auditor General of Amalgamated Bank of South Africa, ABSA.I got your contact from the web and after due consideration,i decided to contact you hoping that you will support and work in partnership with us for our mutual benefits. I and my colleague Mr.David Mabuwa want to redeem (transfer)the sum of Twenty Million Dollars (US$20,000,000.00)from ABSA bank through the name of a foreign partner or company who will stand as the beneficiary of the fund to an offshore account.
This fund is being held at the JHB branch of ABSA under Unitrust Investments in the name of Mr.Fredrick Adams as the trutee of the account. The account has been declared dormant by the bank since Aug.2002 and the fund will be confiscated to the bank if not redeemed by end of this year. This sum was discovered during our last general auditing of the bank's accounts and holdings.Our investigation and inquiries in the transactions of Unitrust Investments revealed that the company was registered in 1999 by Mr.Fredrick Adams ,a citizen of Zimbabwe.
Mr.Adams was among the white farmers killed during the early invasions on white owned farms by the Zimbabwean war veterans backed by President Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF. The money in the account was donations from private local and foreign companies,politicians and foreign government agents secretly funding and backing the MDC (Movement For Democratic Change)in Zimbabwe. Mr.Fredrick Adams was a member and financer of the MDC, a white minority party opposed to the government of President Robert Mugabe and the ZANU PF. The MDC however lost in the general elections adjudged to be rigged by many international observers and no relative of Mr.Adams, no Trustee or Executioner has come for the fund since last year. I and the ,Mr.Mabuwa therefore decided to transfer the funds through a foreign partner or company who will stand as the beneficiary of the fund.
We will arrange for the necessary documents that will be required in the transaction and use our position and contacts to obtain approval and transfer of the funds.However,as public servants,we need the assistance and cooperation of a foreign partner to achieve this successfully.
We intends to invest this fund in a Joint Partnership Company at the conclusion of this transaction. Note:That this transaction demands
Trust,Prudence,and Strict Confidentiality so that we dont loose our jobs or run into problems.However,we have arranged for a very smooth and risk-free transaction if given the assistance and cooperation .
We will offer you 30% of the total fund at the end of the transaction, 5% being mapped out to offset the expenses incurred while the remaining 65% will be for my colleague and me. Contact me through my private e mail address above for further discussion. including your telephone and fax for easier communication.
Best Regards
MR SIBULO JOHN
