PROPOSAL FOR BUSINESS ASSISTANCE/JOINT VENTURE.
Dear Sir/madam,
I am Prince Davies Phiri the son of Prince Oupa Sankoh Phiri, the prince of the Old Kingdom of
Lesotho.
My great grandfather passed kingship to the present King Letsi III. My family however is still part
of the kings council
of elders, an integral part of the King’s administrative body in my country.
Because of the civil war in my country that resulted from a military coup attempt by the opposition
party in 1998, my father was commissioned as
a member of clandestine delegates that convened in the Republic of South Africa for peace talks.
But when the negotiations failed, my father
decided to reside in South Africa with the family until his untimely death early this year.
Following the death of my father, the family has been divided against itself
every member of the family including my step mother and uncles fighting to
get a chunk of my father’s accumulated wealth. However, before my father’s
demise he left a certain amount of money in the vault of a Security company
based in South Africa with my name and the other family members had no knowledge of it.
Because of security reasons, I can not invest this money in South Africa
hence my intentions to relocate to your country. It is in view of this
that I decided to solicit for your assistance to scout for areas of viable
foreign investment in your country. If possible, I am willing to go
into joint venture business with you and your company. If everything goes
well, I will be willing to invest up to 15 million United States dollars in the
project.
Bear in mind that this transaction is time sensitive and must be pursued
immediately. Therefore your earliest response will be highly appreciated.
Contact me on the above email address.
Thanks and best regards,
Prince Davies Phiri.
