mrs.joyce batuta: capable foreign partner

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

Hello,

This is Mr Franklin Batuta the son of Mrs Joyce Batuta. I have been directed by my mother to establish contact with you following your response to our request for you or your company to act as our foreign partner concerning funds inherited from my late father and which we want to move overseas for investment. We received your email through my mothers address and we thank you for having the courtesy to respond to our request for assistance considering that it comes from a total stranger. I do understand very clearly that my mother must have explained to you clearly what this business is all about and what assistance we will require from you after the conclusion of the transfer which is to assist invest our part of the money in a good investment in your country. We also plan to relocate to your country which we believe will be a good environment for my family to settle down. Yesterday we tried to contact you on the numbers provided but none of it was answered. Today I have also tried myself with the same response.

Your last email to my mother was well received and I am happy to inform you that we have concluded with our financial adviser and a top bank official concerning arrangements on the best way we can move this fund out of the republic of South Africa. You can also understand very clearly how this money in question emanated in the first place. This transaction is 100% risk free and I want to assure you that you will never at any point regret your decision to assist us.

The money is currently deposited in the vault of a private security company here in the Republic of South Africa. This company is a special security firm that accepts deposit from high net worth individuals and Blue Chip Corporation that handle valuables products. It is familiar especially to the highly placed government officials that did not want to disclose the contents of whatever they are depositing and will pay charges required to safeguard it. The company is not aware of the actual content of the consignment as was reached in the agreement singed before the deposit was made. The consignment was deposited as family valuables with the deposit fee paid upfront. Following our arrangements, what we now need from your company is to provide for us with all necessary foreign assistance for the completion of this transaction. This is very necessary because we intend to present you as our foreign partners hence giving you all the necessary rights to the consignments which will enable us claim back the consignment from the company. This is because our status as refugees does not permit us to claim the consignment hence we are advised to seek the assistance of a foreign partner for our adviser who is also a lawyer to process and transfer the rights and privileges of the deposit to his name to enable the retrieval of the deposit from the company’s vault for deposition in a special account that will be set up in your name on arrival to south Africa.

To achieve this, you will be expected to come down to South Africa so that we will be able to meet you personally and also set up the account through which we can move this money to your nominated account overseas. It is Important for you to understand that our adviser have put in place all the necessary machineries to achieve this. We are also in contact with a banker who will assist us in all the banking aspect of this transaction.

If however you are not comfortable in coming to South Africa, We can also arrange for the security company to move the consignment to any of their affiliate company in Europe provided you can be available to receive the consignment as the new beneficiary. We shall prefer this option if you are not comfortable in coming to South Africa. According to our adviser, Madrid Spain is the preferred option because a friend to the banker will assist set up an account on your arrival to Madrid and help secure the funds for transfer to your country using his valuables contacts.

My family will want you to visit South Africa as this will bring a great relief for my mother. The future of my family depends on this money and would want you to be very committed and trustful to us to enable us deliver this project as scheduled and the fund confirmed in your account. We shall trust you and will take you as one of us, so please do not disappoint us.

On your questions to my mother

1) I regret to inform you that your company will be responsible for your traveling expenses. This is because at the moment we do not have access to the funds and cannot go to the security company to request to inspect the consignment and then try to remove money from it. There are CCTV cameras monitoring the premises of the vault, the cameras will notice the action if we try to remove money. We have been advised not to take the risk for the safety of the funds and my family in South Africa. we plead with you to take care of your expenses knowing fully well that any money you spent on this transaction will be returned to you once the consignment is taking out of the security company before depositing in the bank.

2) You can make your own hotel reservation. I can send you the address and telephone numbers of good hotel.

3) According to our adviser, all arrangements have been concluded for this transaction. They are only waiting for the arrival of our foreign partner. In this regards, you can start making your traveling arrangements immediately to see the possibility of arriving here within a short possible time.

4) It will be difficult to have the meetings in the hotel as the security company cannot deliver the consignment in the hotel. Arrangements have been made to hire a guest house for delivery from where the bank will take delivery of the money.

5) Find attached pictures of my family including my late father during his burial.

6) At the moment we are not in discussion with any other person but we intend to continue our search if you are not interested.

7) Upon your response to this massage, a draft copy of the agreement to be signed will be sent to you. The original will be signed on your arrival depending if you are coming to South Africa. Should you choose to travel to Madrid, then we can sign the agreement through the internet.
