Subject: URGENT TRANSFAR
From: Evangelist John Dube
13 Johnson Street Joburg
south Africa
Dear DIRECTOR/CEO
I am Evangelist John Dube, the first son of late Dr. kenneth Dube. I am a
citizen of Swaziland. My late father was the managing director of Kengood
Aluminum Company in Swaziland but unfortunately he died in the year 2003
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
realized that I am too young to manage a large company of that type and most
of the director have already began to divert the net profit being generated
from the company.
I therefore arrange with my fathers 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
arrange with my mother to transfer the fund to the South African Reserve
Bank escrow account, where I am currently staying with my mother and two
other sisters, pending when I find a reliable person to assist us in the
investment of the fund in his country.
However, I am into pastoral activities now and most of my time is been
dedicated to church activities. At the moment, we want to transfer the fund
to overseas account 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 your private/companies account overseas so that we
can relocate to plan for the investment of the fund through your personal
assistance.
I 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 overseas account, I will
first relocate my mother and other 2 sisters to stay with you, while I will
complete my theological school.
What I need from you is honest and sincerity because this fund is my life
and the life of my family. If can assist us in this transaction, I will give
you 30% of the total fund for your assistance, while 70% will remain in your
account for (2 years) to enable me complete my school and join my family to
plan for the investments. Please, be assured that this transaction is 100%
risk free.
I await your soonest response.
Regards and God bless.
Evangelist John Dube
