Attention:

My name is Mr. Zinfy Lucas Mbeki I am South African man by birth and resident

in Spain.

I am a sale and account manager in a financial consultancy firm here Madrid.

My Company is mandated to source for reliable investors in the World over to

invest available funds in profitable business ventures.

This is why I am making this urgent contact with you and your associates, some

prominent individuals in Marbella the Andalusia region of Spain made these

funds available to my firm and the available fund is in US dollars amounting

to millions, because of the heat they are now facing from the law for the

unauthorized sales of states properties, the city mayor and deputy mayor amid

allegations of money laundering is now under house arrest, for property

development offences,including building on land protected from development,

manipulation of public tenders, and the acceptance of bribes as well as

schemes to alter the price of municipal services.

In this sleaze scandal, which hit the southern Spanish resort city Marbella in

spring 2006,and they know their chances of not going to jail is slim they have

asked my firm to act swiftly on their behalf in other for them not to lose out

completely and save something for their family members.

Depending on your experience and proposal you will forward to us, we will

determine a suitable amount to remit to you to kick off the business you

intend to invest in. You will manage this business without interference for a

period of three years, after which, the profit on investment will be shared

after taxation.

The investment areas are not limited and may include new businesses or

injection of funds into an existing firm that, of course, is profit oriented,

bearing in mind that you are not authorized to invest in public Companies or

Government agencies.

You can incorporate a firm fully owned by you based on the laws of your

Country or invest this money in a private Company as a shareholder. You can

equally trade stock or export and import goods as may be profitable. Fresh

funds may also be invested to enlarge the business if the prospects are good.
