Dear Sir/Madam,
REQUEST FOR INVESTMENT
TRANSFER.
My name is Mr. Martin Kolia, a Deputy Director General with office of the
Accountant General of the Republic of South Africa . I have the honor to
write you.
It might surprise you, reading from relatively unknown person to you. I got
your address from the South-African chamber of commerce and industry.
During the 2006/2007 fiscal year I was the Assistant Director (Finance) Gold
Mineral Mining Co-operation of South Africa, by the scope of my duties I was
in charge of contract award / settlement of debts, local and international.
My office settled all outstanding debts / budget plan, yet an over invoiced
amount of US$25.000.000.00 (Twenty Five Million United States dollars) was
left in an account with the South African Reserve Bank unknown to any one
else except my self and my close contact with the bank.
It is at this point that I need your assistance to enable this fund be
transferred into your nominated offshore account in your personal / company
name as though you have done a contract job with my department in the past,
every necessary arrangement and the transfer logistics will be perfectly
handled, all hands being on deck, this transaction will be concluded within
7(seven) working days.
All you will do is supply details as bellow ASAP:
1. Account name.
2. Account number.
3. Name on bank.
4. Phone and fax numbers.
We shall compromise on the percentage ratio of your share in this venture
after we must have established confidence and trust between ourselves.
For further transaction, contact me on my private and secured e-mail
address: martinkolia7@gmail.com<http://uk.mc282.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=martinkolia7@gmail.com>

AND DISCIPLINE. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE.
YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
With My Personal Best Regards,
Mr. Martin Kolia.
