Dear Sir,
I'm a Private Investor based in Europe (UTRECHT). A group of Government
officials from South Africa contacted me with an offer.
I am to solicit and state their offer, If your interest is genuine, you can
contact for further briefing.
You will be made a beneficiary of a very huge sum of money - USD$46.4M
(Forty six Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and it will
be transfered to you.
A high compensation of 20% awaits you, The remaining balance (Minus the
interest, handling and tax clearance charges which will be offset by us and
deducted from the transfer sum) To a Nominated Bank Account in Cayman
Islands.
I don't think I need to spell out the Importance of secrecy in this matter
considering what is involved.
Let me state clearly here that the account you will be providing does not
need to have funds in it. It is only needed to be active and able to receive
the funds in question.
I need your quick response to this mail to indicate your intent by
forwarding your details to me. This is important as we would need to talk
and have a meeting to discuss the modalities of this offer.
For further clarication please contact me through my private number +2782
818 6466 or better still through my above email address.
Yours Sincerely
Patrick C. Zwane
