Subject: Dr. Fredrick Thambo/Treat Urgent
* GREET**INGS TO
YOU AND YOUR FAMILY*
My name is *Dr. Fredrick Thambo,* the dentist in Jomo Med.Hospital Pretoria.
I am a brother at christ the king church. Four days ago, a woman visited the
church service and after prayers, she approached me and narrated her life
story. Her name is Mrs. Felicia. A. Nkosi and she is a member of womex in
Zimbabwe.
Her husband was a big farmer and victim of the crises in Zimbabwe which was
as a result of a new land act reform introduced by President Robert Mugabe.
As the manager of her husband farms, she keeps all important documents for
her husband. Among the documents is a file containing documents her late
husband used to deposit fund with a security and finance company here in
South Africa.
According to her, this money was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms and establishments of a new farm in Swaziland. After
narrating this story, I asked her to see me the following day with the file
containing fund depositing documents. When I saw the document and the amount
involved USD14.7M (Fourteen million, Seven hundred thousand dollars).
Because of my position and what is happening in the world today, I and my
attorney took her to the security and finance company for verifications and
we confirmed everything as genuine and original. This woman is a refugee
here in South Africa and refugees are not allowed to open bank accounts or
involved in any financial transactions in South Africa and besides angents
of the evil man Mugabe is in every conner of continent.
Also this fund is in dollars and must require a foreigner for the claims. I
am writing this letter to entrust the life / future of this woman and her
family to you believing that you will not betray the trus! t and confidence
I may have in you. All I am asking is your assistance to claim and transfer
this fund to your bank account in your country or your overseasnominated
bank account keeping this fund in your custody for this woman and her family
to join you for a proper investment under your supervision. The woman has
agreed on two options of compensation for your assistance.
Firstly you can choose to have a certain percentage of the money or go into
partnership with her for a proper profitable investment of the money in your
country. If you do not prefer a partnership, she is willing to give you 25%
of the total fund. She has also mapped out 5% of the total fund for all
kinds of expenses that might be incurred in the process of the transaction.
If you are willing to assist this woman, please contact me immediately on my
e-mail *dr.fredrickthambosa@gmail.com*<http://us.mc521.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=dr.fredrickthambosa@gmail.com>
*Best Regards,
Dr. Fredrick Thambo*
