I AM PRINCE JOE A. FLOWER, THE ELDEST SON OF THE LATE KING MURPHY FLOWER II
OF LESOTHO. A BSc DEGREE HOLDER IN MARKETING AND I AM PRESENTLY DOING MY
FINAL THESIS IN MASTER DEGREE IN LAW WITH WITS UNIVERSITY HERE IN GAUTENG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
A CHAT WITH THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND
INDUSTRY. REGADRING THE DETAILED INFORMATION AND RECOMMENDATION OF YOUR
PERSON AND COMPANY, I WISH TO COMMENCE PARTNERSHIP BUSINESS WITH YOU
INVOLVING THE USAGE OF MY INHERITED US$20.5MILLION (TWENTY MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLALS) AND IF NEED BE, THE TRANSFER OF THE
SUM INTO YOUR POSSESSION FOR BUSSINESS UNTIL MY ARRIVAL TO YOUR COUNTRY.

GETTING FROM MY ROYAL FAMILY DISHARMONY CONCERNING WHO SHALL ASCEND THE NEXT
THRONE OF KINGSHIP, AND ALSO SINCE I AM CURRENTLY HAVING ASSYLUM IMMIGRATION

POSSESSION OF MONEY MORE THAT TENS OF DOLLARS, BY LAW.

HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA. BUT CAN MY MONEY JUST BE SITTING IDLE IN THE BANK?
LET ME USE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN MYSELF IN DETAILS TO YOU: AS I SAID
EARLIER ON, THE MONEY I MENTIONED WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A PORTION OF
INHERITANCE BY MY FATHER DURING HIS SICK DAYS BEING HIS FAVORITE AMONG HIS
OTHER SIBLINGS DUE TO MY DILIGENCY; OBEDIENCY; AND MY CAREER-CONSCIOUSNESS
(IN MY DISCIPLINE IN THE FIELD OF MARKETING STRATEGIES).THIS SECRET IS
BETWEEN MYSELF AND HIS SOUL (MAY HIS SOULREST IN PERFECT PEACE) DUE TO
POLYGAMOUS BATTLE IN MY FAMILY SETTINGS FOR THE STRUGGLE OF BIRTH RIGTHS TO
WHO SHALL BECOME MY FATHER'S SUCCESSOR TO THE AYEKOR II DYNASTY IN LESOTHO.
MEANWHILE, I HAVE SET ASIDE THE MODE OF SHARING FOR US. I FURTHER NEED YOU
TO ADVISE AND GET ME INVOLVED IN A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT, AND THEREFORE
COUPLE WITH YOUR AVAILABILITY FOR ME, I DESIRE TO SET ASIDE A SHARE FOR YOU
AS WELL.
SEE BELOW THE MODE OF SHARING I OFFER: - 65% WISH SHALL BE INVESTED IN ANY
PROFITABLE BUSINESS ADVISED BY YOU. - 5% FOR MISCELLENOUS EXPENSES THAT MAY
BE INCURRED BOTH LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY WHEN TRANSFERING THE MONEY INTO
YOUR CARE. - 30% OF THE STATED AMOUNT, FOR YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
NEVERTHELESS, KINDLY REACH ME AND INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS IN ASSISTING ME
VIA MY PRIVATE E-MAIL ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER ABOVE.
I SHALL BE DELIGHTED TO PRAISE YOUR TRUSTWORTHINESS IF MY BUSINESS PROPOSAL
IS CONSIDERED.
THANK YOU IN ANTICIPATION, FOR YOUR KINDNESS.
MAY GOD CONTINUE TO PRESERVE US TO ETERNITY.
YOURS,
PRINCE JOE A. FLOWER
(Royal Palace, Ayekor II Dynasty Lesotho)
