From: "Frank Williams" <frank_williams_006@hotmail.com>
Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 14:06:53 +0200
Subject: Dear
FROM: PASTOR FRANK WILLIAMS
JOHANESSBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Telephone: 27-73-150-4618
Dear,
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
I am Pastor Frank Williams, the first son of Late Lufuno Williams. l am a
citizen of Swaziland. My father was the managing director of Lufuno Aluminum
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$10,600,000
(Ten million, Six Hundred Thousand 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 Johanessburg, South Africa
where I am currently staying with my mother and other two younger sisters
where we residing as asylum seekers. 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 our
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 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, 5% will be for the expenses inccurred during the transaction while 70%
will remain in your account for 2 years to enable me complete my school 100%
risk free, but you must keep it confidential. If you can assist us, kindly
send me an urgent mail or call me to indicate your interest.
I await your soonest response
Pastor F. Williams
