Attn. Mr. Wong
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your quick response to my mail, I am sorry for my late reply. In the course of this transaction, I promise you that I will proof you beyond reasonable doubt. I will give you every necessary documents related to this transaction as long as you promise to keep it safe. Actually, you have little role to play in this transaction, all you are expected to do is to come down to South Africa.
Note that my main objective is to move the funds out of South Africa without being identified with the money itself. It is not safe for me as an Asylum Seeker here in South Africa for anyone to know that I have this kind of money the money may be confiscated. Therefore, the knowledge about this fund is kept highly confidential and it is important that we should maintain that. However, every arrangement has been made to protect our interest and also to do everything legally. In one of the arrangements, I am working closely with a manager in one of the leading Commercial Banks here in South Africa. The following steps will need to be followed:
1. This money will be transferred in your company’s / personal account(s) in your country or any other country you may deem fit besides Africa. Secondly, because this money will be deposited in your Company’s/Personal account (s), it is imperative that you will open a non-resident account in one of the local Banks here in South Africa; this account is where this money will be deposited first before onward transfer to your nominated overseas account(s). The Bank manager would supervise every step concerning the transfer.
2. Requirements for the non-resident account are simple, although you have to come here in person. The Bank will need only your International Passport with valid Visa on it, a reference letter from your Bank plus an opening deposit fee which I believe will be minimal.
3. Besides, we need Agreement under which you will be appointed as my fund manager. This agreement will specify your percentage, rights and obligations; most of it will bind the entire transaction and the parties involved together. The agreement will be registered with both the local Bank you have to open the account and the Reserve Bank of South Africa to legitimise the transfer in such a way that your Bank at home will ask no questions.
4. For customs and security reasons, we declared the consignments as Gemstone, please bear this in mind at all times.
5. Please proceed to make travel arrangements to arrive here as soon as possible, the sooner you arrive the better for us because of high security storage charges that accumulates day by day, although I have made several payments in this regard.
6. Apparently, all the arrangements have been perfected and solidify, as such that the entire transaction will not exceed two to three working days.
At this point I am depending on you to do your utmost for us. Please contact South African Embassy in your country and officially apply for a Visa. Should you require some of the relevant documents backing this consignment, I will not hesitate to send them to you. Keep me posted on the outcome of your travel arrangements by acknowledging this fax.Please am
so sorry for my late reply i was having meet with my family.
I should quit disclosing further in detail pending the receipt of your approval to assist, please send your phone number and fax. for more oral discussion.
Please do extend my warm greetings to your entire family.
Regards,
Mrs. Elizabeth Masinga.
(for the family)
