Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is MR.DAVID ZUMA, the eldest son of MR FRANK ZUMA,of ZIMBABWE.
It might
be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from
the South
African Information Network Online (SAINO)/South Africa Trade Centre.And it is
coming to you with good intention. During the current crises against
the farmers
of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President,ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the
white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to
surrender
their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the great and best farmers in the country and
knowing that
he did not support the presidents political ideology, the presidents
supporters
invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the
wounds sustained, he became sick and died after five days. And after his
death, I with my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for
the safety
of our lives to South-Africa.
BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I
WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($18.5,000,000=00). MILLION U.S
DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG
(SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You
should solicit for reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer
this money
out of SOUTH AFRICA for investment purpose.
I deposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with the
deposit code. your mother has all the documents. Take good care of
your mother
and brother."
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can
assist us. I
with my younger brother are now living in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM
SEEKERS and the financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS
certain financial rights to such huge amount of money .In view of
this, I cannot
invest this money in South-Africa,hence I am asking you to assist me transfer
this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your efforts, I am
prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for
local and international expenses and 75% will be kept for me and my family .
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to
your urgent reply .For detailed information, Please contact me on my direct
line + 27-83-521-9787,or my e-mail address .
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY.
