From: lunga_nkosi@katamail.com
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 10:18:57 +0200
Subject: INVESTMENT RELATIONSHIP
FROM: Mr.Lunga Nkosi.
No:65 Monument Rd,
Sandton, South Africa.
PHONE: +27-83-928-8977.
ATTN: Sir,
I am Mr. Lunga Nkosi., a South African and a senior civil servant (General Supervisor) in the South African Gold and Diamond Mining and processing Krugersdorp, a cousin to DR. OLIVER THAMBO (Africa National Congress ANC) who was assassinated during the apartheid (ignoble and unhappy) regime.
On 24th April 1994, when apartheid was dismantled, the South African Government decided to compensate the families of all the freedom fighters that lost their lives during the struggle by placing the educated elites in high offices (KNOWING AS BLACK EMPOWERMENT) in republic of South Africa among which my family was included.
For instance, Nelson Mandela was compensated by being the first president of South Africa, Richard Parkes was appointed the manager of Shell and BP South Africa Petroleum and refinery (S.A.P.R.) Jeff Radebe was appointed the Minister of Public Enterprises and Trevor Manual was appointed the Finance Minister Etc.
I got your contact / credibility from South African information Exchange {courtesy of network on line} and decided to seek for your assistance. As regards my intensive purposes to you. As a matter of fact, I have accumulated sufficiently US$9.7. Million Dollars (Nine Million, Seven Hundred Thousand United State Dollars) by the great position of my office as a senior civil servant in the South African Gold and diamond Mining and Processing Krugersdorp Presently, this fund is absolutely kept in an insurance suspense holding in a {private security deposit} in South Africa. The deposition of this fund was made easier for me with a very strong written agreement and signatory in a different beneficiary under my control.
Being a South African, it does not give me any possible room to invest or utilize this fund in my country as the law strictly prohibits. This fund is my struggle and sweat through commissions from unaccountable contracts and other profitable additions from the company’s original cost price mostly gained from customers around the world.
Therefore, my plan / intention about this fund is to invest it overseas for me and my family especially into a trustworthy and humane account overseas ultimately for investment purposes.
Using your name / company as the beneficiary of the money to avoid government intervention (South African government). If you are willing to assist me, a negotiable percentage will be agreed before we proceed, please notify me immediately with the above numbers.
Yours regards,
Mr. Lunga Nkosi
