Subject: FAMILY ASSISTANCE PLEASE ,
FROM: PASTOR GEORGE WILLIAMS
TEL:+27 73 557 3380
11 KOTZE STREET,
JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA
ATTN: MD/CEO ,
I am Pastor George Williams, the first son of Late
Lufuno Williams. I am a citizen of Swaziland. My
father was the managing director of Lufuno Aluminium
Company in Swaziland but very unfortunately he died
in the year 2004 after a protracted illness. Due to
poor management of the company in my country and for
the fact that I am so dedicated to church activities,
I realized that I will be unable to manage the company
and so soon it may wind up . I also realized that I
am too young to manage a large company of that type
and most of the directors have already began to
divert the net profit being generated from the
company, I therefore arranged with my father's
lawyer and sold the entire company to Mr. Alan Foster
from Poland at the price of US$22,600,000 (Twenty Two
million, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars.
Due to constant pressure from some of my relatives
and also fear of likely attack on my family to hijack
the fund, I arranged with my mother to transfer the
fund into a Bank here in Johannesburg, South Africa
where I am currently staying with my mother and other
two younger sisters. However, I am into pastorial
activities now and I have most of my time dedicated to
church activities.
At the moment, we want to transfer the fund to
oversea country for investment 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/company's account over
there so that we can relocate to plan for the
investment of the fund through your personal
assistance. I mostly 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 the fund
into your account there, I will first relocate my
mother and other 2 sisters to stay with
you while I will first go and complete my theological
school outside South Africa.
What I mostly need from you is honest and sincerity
because this fund is my life and the life of my
family. If you can assist us in this transaction, I
will give you 30% of the total fund while 70% will
remain in your account for 2 years to enable me
complete my school and then join my other relatives
to plan for our family investments. please if you can
assist us, kindly send me an urgent email to indicate
your interest and also the information's below to
enable transfer the fund into your account.
1 .Your account information's where the fund will be
transfered
2 . Your private Telephone/ Mobile and fax numbers for
easy communication
3 .Your resident / Company address
I await your soonest response.
Pastor George Williams
