Attention Morton.
I would like to begin by way of introduction.My name is Mr.Jack David,a
native of Capetown-South Africa and a senior employee of the South Africa
Ministry of energy and Mineral Resources currently here in Amsterdam- Netherland
on a one year leave.
I am writing this letter to solicite your co-operation in order to redeem
an investment interest currently being held under trust with the South Africa
Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. The said investment now valued
at US$20.5million(Twenty Million five thousand United State dollar ) was
consolidated Mining Corporation in 1975 for 25 years. Since the maturity
of this contract in August 1999, several attempts have been made without
success to contact Mr.Richard Morton ,or any of his close relatives,in whose
favour the investment cash value could be paid to. My partner who is the
Account director at Ministry of energy and Mineral resources and two other
collegues,have initiated the process of filing a claim for this money, with
the hope of having these funds transferred into a safe offshore account.
We could file a claim for this money with the Ministry claiming that you
were appointed by Mr.MORTON,to be the beneficiary to these funds. As soon
as the claim is approved, the stated sum of US$20.5M will be transferred
into an account of your choice,after which my collegues and I shall travel
to meet with you for the disbursement of the fund. Since the money will
be in your custody, you have the responsibility to ensure that my collegues
and I receive 60% of the total sum while you keep the remaining 30% for
your assistance and 10% for expenses.
Please we urgue that this affairs be very confidential because we are still
in active government service. I want to assure you that my partner are in
position to make the payment of this claim possible, provided you agree
to meet with us and give us the guarantee that our share will be well secure
in your care.
Be rest assured that there is absolutely nothing to worry about in view
of this claim.It is perfectly safe with no risk involved, and it is not
subject to any enquiry as my partner will be handling the claims directly
on behalf in South Africa.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter by writing me on this Email
jk_david02@yahoo.co.uk or jk_david04@yahoo.co.uk
I look forward to your prompt response.
Yours Truly
Sign
Jack David
