Dear Six/Madam,

I am Evangelist DUBE WILLSON,the first son of late Dr. JohnDube. I am a
citizen of Swaziland. My late father was the managing director of Aluminum
Company in Swaziland butunfortunately he died in the year 2002 after a
protracted illness. Due to poor management of the company in my

country and for the fact that I am so dedicated to churchctivities realized
that I am too young to manage a largecompany of that type and most of the
director have already
began to divert the net profit being generated from the company.I therefore
arrange with my father?s lawyer and sold the entire company to Mr. Alan
Foster from Poland at the price
of US $10,600,000,(Ten Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars). Due to
constant pressure from some of myrelatives and also fear of likely attack on
my family to hijack the fund, I arrange with my mother to transfer the fund
to one of the security and finance company in South
Africa, where I am currently staying with my mother and two other
sisters.However, I am into pastoral activities now and most of my time is
been dedicated to church activities. At the moment,

we want to transfer the fund to overseas account forinvestment because there
is no good investment atmosphere here in South Africa. I therefore need your
assistance to
enable me transfer the fund into your private/companies account overseas so
that we can relocate to plan for the investment of the fund through your
personal assistance.I need your assistance in investing the fund because I
have little experience of investment/management of the fund. It
is also my plan that after the successful transfer of thefund into your
overseas account, I will first relocate my mother and other 2 sisters to
stay with you, while I will complete my theological school.

What I need from you is honest and sincerity because thisfund is my life and
the life of my family. If can assist us in this transaction, I will give you
30% of the total fund for your assistance, while 70% will remain in your
account for (2 years) to enable me complete my school and join my
family to plan for the investments. Please, be assured that this transaction
is 100% risk free.
I await your soonest response.
Regards and God bless
.
