I Know how much surprise you will be to receive this message bearing in mind that you don’t know me neither do I.But through my little explanation i will like you to calm down your surprises and fears.
I am TONY YENGENI a SOUTH AFRICAN by birth, a former chief whip of the AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS (ANC) the ruling political party here in SOUTH AFRICA and a member of parliament (MP).My position as the then chief whip afforded me the opportunity to chair(chairman) the contract awarding committee of SOUTH AFRICAN arms deal.An insight to this ,many companies lobbed for the right to be awarded the contract at the end Three Companies were considered to supply the nation arms at the value of R53 billion (fifty three billion rands)
As a pay back for my influential role in ensuring that the contract was given to them received enormous gifts both cash and in kind,which includes cars and houses in three of South Africa's finest suburbs and a cash amount of US$7.8 MILLION (Seven million eight hundred thousand united states dollars)
Due to the democratic laws prohibiting members of government from owning foreign accounts it is difficult to move this fund my self out of my country,and cannot move this sum into any bank here by my self considering the the question that will be asked.The only option was to deposit it as valuables to the sum mentioned above ,with a security company my uncle who has recently passed away of long cancer was the depositor while my signatory stands as the sole beneficiary.
But I have been making news for some time now over my involvement in what the public and opposition party termed CONTROVERCIAL ARMS DEAL and has been charged for fraud ,bribery and corruption .the pressure was enormous that i had to relinquish my position as the chief whip of the ANC.But these should not induce any kind of fear in you ,how ever the amount in question was not part of the news making.
It is based on these grounds that i seek a FOREIGNER AND A FOREIGN ASSISTANCE,to help me clear this money from the security company and transfer it into his trusted nominated bank account.
I am ready to send to you the photocopy of my Identity document as a guarantee should i betray you during the course of transaction which you can use as an evidence, and may report me to any authority should i betray you guarantee you that this transaction is 100%risk free but your understanding and interest will be much appreciated by me.For your assistance i will offer you 25% (TWENTY FIVE PERCENT)of the whole sum after a successful transfer .
For more information regarding my situation please log in to www.sabc.co.za or www.etv.co.za or seek South Africa news will appreciate your positive response.
contact me with the above communication channels provided above telephonically or email me with your personal contact details phone and fax included.Anticipating your quick response.
yours sincerely,
TONY YENGENI
