Dear Sirs,

My name is Raoul C VAN O******* and I am the broker for a South African Medical Health Care Company “ Worldwide travel Medical Consultants” in Johannesburg, RSA. This company has been contacted by a Chinese construction Company and was requested to arrange 700 Chinese construction workers to have pre-assignment medicals in China, prior to being contracted to construct a mine in the South of the Democratic Republic of Congo ( DRC). The first 20 workers have to leave China in 3 weeks time !! As I understood this Chinese construction Company is based in Beijing and Shanghai but I assume they may recruit all over the PRC...

*snip*

My friend is seriously trying to set up some kind of labour exchange between China and The Congo and he's complaining to me that he sent this email to a bunch of hospitals in China and none of them got back to him. I read the first 3 lines and started laughing because it sounds exactly like some kind of Nigerian email scam
