requesting your partnership.

There are certain clues you can use to recognize a scam, and this email contains several of them.

1. The sender requests that you respond on a different email address than the address he used to email you.

2. The reference to "your country". Vague, because he's sending this scam to multiple people, and he doesn't know what country any of the intended victims are in.

3. The email is sent on a "free" email account (because he knows it's going to get canceled for spamming!)

4. The tantalizing offer of more information upon reply. The writer has given virtually no information of what he plans, because he wants your reply in order to feed off what YOU have to say.

5. What kind of idiot actually emails a complete stranger offering them a directorship job?

6. It's spam. And 95% of the time, SPAM = SCAM.

Good day,

I am looking for your cooperation in building a Tourist Hotel or Real Estate in your country. I am sorry if this is not in line with your business.

I need an experienced person like you to assist me to set up, develop the project. On the resumption of the project, you will be made a Director for the role and the assistance you rendered. You will also be entitled to a percentage agreed upon between me (Mr Wikus Jordaan) and you before the commencement of the project.

Your immediate reply will be highly appreciated and I shall give you more information on this project as soon as i hear from you. Please contact me at my private: e-mail address :mrjordaan@lexpress.net

Thanks and God bless.

Yours faithfully,
Wikus Jordaan.
