SIR/MADAM
I Know how much surprise you will be to receive this
message bearing in mind that you don’t know me
neither do I.But through my little explanation i
will like you to calm down your surprises and fears.
I am TONY YENGENI a SOUTH AFRICAN by birth, a former
chief whip of the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC)
the ruling political party here in SOUTH AFRICA and
a member of parliament (MP).My position as the then
chief whip afforded me the opportunity to
chair(chairman) the contract awarding committee of
SOUTH AFRICAN arms deal.An insight to this ,many
companies lobbed for the right to be awarded the
contract at the end Three Companies were considered
to supply the nation arms at the value of R53
billion (fifty three billion rands)
As a pay back for my influential role in ensuring
that the contract was given to them received
enormous gifts both cash and in kind,which includes
cars and houses in three of South Africa's finest
suburbs and a cash amount of US$7.8 MILLION (Seven
million eight hundred thousand united states
dollars)
Due to the democratic laws prohibiting members of
government from owning foreign accounts it is
difficult to move this fund my self out of my
country,and cannot move this sum into any bank here
by my self considering the the question that will be
asked.The only option was to deposit it as valuables
to the sum mentioned above ,with a security company
my uncle who has recently passed away of long cancer
was the depositor while my signatory stands as the
sole beneficiary.
But I have been making news for some time now over
my involvement in what the public and opposition
party termed CONTROVERCIAL ARMS DEAL and has been
charged for fraud ,bribery and corruption .the
pressure was enormous that i had to relinquish my
position as the chief whip of the ANC.But these
should not induce any kind of fear in you ,how ever
the amount in question was not part of the news
making.
It is based on these grounds that i seek a FOREIGNER
AND A FOREIGN ASSISTANCE,to help me clear this money
from the security company and transfer it into his
trusted nominated bank account.
I am ready to send to you the photocopy of my
Identity document as a guarantee should i betray you
during the course of transaction which you can use
as an evidence, and may report me to any authority
should i betray you guarantee you that this
transaction is 100%risk free but your understanding
and interest will be much appreciated by me.For your
assistance i will offer you 25% (TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT)of the whole sum after a successful transfer
.
For more information regarding my situation please

response.contact me with the above communication channels
provided above telephonically or email me with your
personal contact details phone and fax
