Mr.Foster Larry.
6/7 close
Jo. borg
South Africa.
I feel quite safe dealing with you in this very important business. Though,
this medium (Internet) has been greatly abused, I choose to reach you
through it because it still remains the fastest medium of communication.
However, this Correspondence is private, and it should be treated in strict
confidence.
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in a matter that is very important and
needs utmost trust and confidence. I am Mr.Foster Larry} a business
Consultant and a close confidant of one of the South-African most powerful
family. The wife of former top Government official, a Gold magnet {Original
Owner of MODISE CO.}, i.e. late CHIEF JOHANNES {JOE} MODISE, former Junior
Minister of Defence Republic of South-Africa. Unfortunately, he died soon
after handing over because the new Government wanted to probe his
activities while in office for financial misappropriations. Presently, all
their foreign and local account was frozen and their assets confiscated.
The wife, who is now on her sick bed helplessly since her husbands death
with her only son to look after, wishes to move out of South-Africa the sum
of USD$20 million along with some large quantity of gold and diamond. She
wishes to invest the aforementioned sum on real estate property/viable
investments overseas.
For obvious reasons, my client does not want to place this fund with
established financial institution with the family name for security
reasons. It is her desire that the deal be handled as quietly as possible
without possibility of any leakage to the public or Government. She has
therefore empowered me to find and negotiate for a reliable and trustworthy
foreigner who can assist us by using his/her name in moving the money to a
foreign safe account and who can assist to invest the fund properly for the
family.
If you agree to act as a fund manager for my client and the family, I shall
release the sum of $20 million USD to you if you meet my requirements. The
money is available safe with a private security company coded and lodged in
with a fictitious name. Upon a favorable response from you, I shall let you
know the steps involved.
Your commission shall be down payment of 30% of the total sum.
If you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction contact me
through my email Address I know that this letter will come to you as a
surprise as we don't know ourselves before, BUT BE SURE THAT IT IS REAL AND
A GENUINE BUSINESS. I CONTACTED YOU BELIEVING THAT YOU WILL NOT LET ME DOWN
ONCE THE FUND GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT
I look forward to your earliest reply.
please keep it tight secret.
Best regards,
Mr.Foster Larry.
