URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
Dear: Sir / Madam,
First I will introduce my self to you, I am Joshua Mushoro
the first and the only son of Late Lufuno Williams Mushoro. I am a
citizen of Swaziland. My father was the managing director of Lufuno Aluminium Company in my country "Swaziland" But 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$29,500,000 (Twenty Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State 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 we are currently living now with two of my younger ones.
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.
We therefore need your assistance to enable us 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.
We 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 two of my younger ones to stay with you while I will first travel to United States of America to complete my theological school.
What we mostly need from you is honest and sincerity because this fund
is my life and also the life of my family. If you can assist us in this
transaction, We have agree to offer you 20% of the total fund while
80% 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 mail with this above email address to indicate your interest.
I await your soonest response
With God Regards,
JOSHUA MUSHORO
