Attn: Sir,
Greetings you must be aware now that my country The
Republic of South Africa
won the bid to host the world cup by 2010,prior to
this bid my committee was
mandated to lobby the members of board of Federation
International Football
Association (FIFA) on selection of the
country to host the world, the bidding was intensive
but at the end we got
the hosting right. Mycommittee was given the sum of
$29 million dollars to
lobby the members of the FIFA ruling body to make sure
that we win the
hosting right considering the gain that comes with the
hosting right like
South Africa?s economy will receive a massive direct
boost from hosting the
2010 World Cup,
financial impact report for South Africa's World Cup
bid committee shows
that the 2010 World Cup will pump R21.3-billion into
South Africa's economy,
and creating an estimated 159 000 new jobs.With the
help the living legend
of our time 85-year-old Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr.
Nelson Mandela who
made an emotive case for The Republic of South
Africa, we got the bid
without spending all the money, I and my committee
members saw this as a God
sent opportunity to secure our future and that of our
family therefore was
mandated by other committee members to look for a way
to move the remaining
money to a safe place with the help of a foreigner
who we can trust and is
ready to assist us to move the funds considering the
fact that we are
still members of the bid committee and in the eyes of
the public. we have in
our possession the sum $21millon since we spent just
$8million for lobbying.
We are ready to give you 20% for all your assistance
then me and my
colleagues will keep 80% lf you are willing kindly
reply to my letter for
further directive. we will want to invest our share
into Real-estate and
air taxi business in your country with your
assistance,bearing in mind that
confidentiality is of great essences so is time in
this project I will
await your response.
Best Regards,
Mr.Williams Muyeke.
