Subject: PLEASE HELP KARABO FAMILY
Dear sir/madam,
We write upon directions from Mrs. Rosalyn Karabo whose husband left
definite
instructions to contact you.
Apparently, you could help in assisting her regarding transfer of funds from
South Africa to your country under your guardianship.
Following a protracted legal battle for unfair dismissal, Mr. Anthony Karabo
as represented by us, won a pay out of US$44.6 Million from a mining company
whom he served in many capacities for 25 years, and lately, as Executive
Director and in whom he invested over Eight Million United States Dollars
in Bonds and Shares over this period.
Deposit was made as per an Order of Court on the 9th of April 2004. He died
in a mysterious car crash on the 19th of August last year. We are writing as
per his instruction.
Kindly acknowledging receipt and advice us accordingly.
Sincerely,
A.Adam Esq
