account is a foreigner too. I know that this massage will come to you as a
surprise as we don’t know our selvesbefore, but be sure that it is real and
a genuine business. I only got your contact address accidentally through the
computer with believe in God that you will never let me down in this
business.Please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to

who will affect the change of ownership of the fund to your name which will
enable us to transfer the fund to your nominated account as soon as possible
through one of the commercial bank here in south africa.
I will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.
I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign
account and foreign beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this
