Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,

I am very pleased to receive your response to my mail. Infact I must first
thank you for your willingness to help me invest this fund abroad, May the
Almighty God continue to uphold you and help you and myself in this
transaction. I believe that my coming to you is God's plan and I do not want
you to look at it as business relationship but I want to establish a long
family relation with you by the grace of God, our union will bring good
fruit and blessings to both families. One thing I have always been praying
to God is to direct me find someone who is trustworthy to entrusting this
fund which is my life and my children together with other members of the
family into this hands, please do not let us down and may the Lord God
Almighty continue to bless and uphold you especially at this critical time
you have come up to help me.

Based on the impression you have showed in responding to my request. Will it
be possible for you to travel down to South Africa? Because your trip will
afford us the initial opportunity to meet and to sign a legal binding
investment agreement as partners. The agreement is just a Deed of Trust
Stating that I am empowering you to hold "in-trust" the entire amount for me
and on my behalf, until such time that we deem necessary. It will also
explain your percentage.

As I previously told you this Fund was deposited with the Security Company
by my late Husband all I intent to do is to entrust this money to you and
enter into business partnership with you, with the hope you will not
disappoint my family afterward.

For we to proceed I will need all the below information for me to make you
the next-of-kin to the deposit, this will makes you the legal owner of this
Fund and your information store in the data base of company system.


The information are:-

*Your full names

*your private phone and fax number for easy communications.

* Your Resident or office Address

*Your company name and your position in your company.

Lastly I will suggest if you can contact my attorney for more procedure.

Yours truly,

Mrs. Kate Bundor
