Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
RE:OUR MUTUAL BUSINESS COLLABORATION.
I received your long expected email with special thanks.
I am thankful for your willingness to assist me in transferring the money to your Country for investment. The business is 100% reak and risk free.
Yes I agree with you that you might have been involved in a similar business which failed. This is because some disgruntled individual are using the disadvantage of others to their own advantage, hence the failures of such business.
Be informed that I mean good for you and not evil and the end will justify the means. You will never regret your involvement into this business because we are not chasing shadow.
I have accepted to do the business with you, if you guarantee me that you will not cheat me when the business is completed, since we don't know each other
before now.
However, a memorandum of Agreement will be drafted by a lawyer on our behalf to bind and protect the interest of all parties. The copy of which will be sent to your kind attention for your corrections if necessary before the final draft that will be signed
by all parties.
I am also willing to invest the money in your Country in any profitable business of your choice as my business custodian, since I have no previous business experience. The Cargo is still in the custody of the Security Company here in South Africa duly insured.It was declared and deposited as Family Valuables for economic and security reasons.
It is not possible for me to handle the transaction by myself due to my present refugee status here in South Africa. The law of the government of South Africa does
not allow refugees like me to handle any financial transactions. Hence your assistance is highly needed to achieve the desired success. I am presently living
in the refugee camp.
To further prove my trust for you, I am very willing to forward to you on request all the relevant depository documents. So you are requested to provide your private phone and fax numbers for this purpose.
You are please required to call me directly on phone number +27--78 144 8274, upon receipt of this mail, for more explanations. Also provide your cell phone number.
Thanking you for your kind understanding, cooperation and prompt handling of the business.
Looking forward to hearing from you immediately.
Yours Truly,
MR.ERIC ENYENGER.
