Subject: STRICLY/CONFIDENTIAL NEEDED
FROM MR. SAMUEL THAMBO.
154 EASTERN CAPE. SOUTH AFRICA.
Attn: Sir,
I am Mr Samuel Thambo, a South African and a senior civil servant (General
supervisor) with South African Gold and Diamond Mining and Processing
company Kruger drop, the immediate younger brother to Late Mr. Oliver
Thambo of African National Congress- ANC) who died in Johannesburg after
a long illness after he returned to South Africa in 1990 following many
years of living in exile, including in Tanzania and Sweden.
On the 24th April 1994, when apartheid was dismantled, the South African
Government decided to compensate the families of all the Freedom Fighters
who lost their lives during the struggle by placing the educated elites in
high offices in South African Government.( known as black empowerment
programme here in south Africa) among which my family was included.
For instance, Nelson Mandela was compensated with being the first president
of the Republic of South Africa; Richard Parkes was appointed the manager
of Shell and BP South Africa petroleum and refinery (S.A.P.R), Jeff
Radebe was appointed the Minister of public Enterprises and Trevor Manual
was appointed the Finance Minister.
In fact, I got your contact / credibility from the internet. I however read
your company profile believing in its reputable capability as regards my
intensive purposes to you. As a matter of fact, I have accumulated
sufficiently USD$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States Dollars) by
virtue of my position in the office as a senior civil servant in the South
African Gold and Diamond mining ompany Krugersdrop. Presently, this fund
is absolutely kept in an insurance suspense holding in a private security
company in South Africa.
Being a South Africa serving civil servant, it is very difficult for me to
invest this fund here in my country’s the law strictly prohibits. If the
government got knowledge of it, the fund will be confiscated. I have no
doubt that you understand this point very well. This fund is my struggle
and
sweat through commissions from unaccountable contracts and other profitable
additions from the company’s original cost price mostly gained from
customers around the world.
Therefore, my plan and intention about this fund is to transfer itoverseas
into a straightforward, trustworthy and God-fearing person’s less taxable
account for investment purpose only. Using your name/company as the
beneficiary of the fund to avoid my government’s intervention. Last time, I
got in contact with some one from South Korea but he became unnecessarily
greedy concerning his commission in the deal before I decided to contact
you.
If you are interested in assisting me, please notify me immediately on the
above private telephone number or send me e-mail on my very confidential
e-mail address. .
Yours Faithfully.
Mr. Samuel Thambo.
