Dear Singh,
I am very happy to receive your mail today as well as the instruction giving to me by my mother, and this to inform you that I have just gone through it and the content was clearly understood, but I will like you to bear in mind that the most important thing to me is on the safety and security of the fund transferred to your bank account in your country so I cannot just transfer the money to your bank account without discussing with you as this money is all my life and my future hope. There fore I will like to have your private telephone and fax numbers so that I can call you or you call me on +27732251470 for more clarification and mutual understanding.
For now all I want from you is trust, sincerity and the ability to handle this transaction (secret) confidentially. Since we have to obtain all the changes of ownership to your name as the foreign beneficiary of the fund. I will also like to know if you can be able to come down to South Africa for the conclusion of the transaction.
Finally, I promise this transaction is 100% risk free and by the arrangement made so far it will be handled legally by God special grace. It is not a scam and I will not like to do any body harm because of what we are passing through.
Please take a look.

Also I will like us to discus on the type of investment you wish us to inter as soon as the money is being secured in your account.
Once more thanks and God bless for your respond so far may the goodness of the lord be with us as we progress with this transaction.
Thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Austin Jumah.
