A PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE
Hello,
My name is Mr FRANK MOYO the elder son of Mr. ANTHONY MOYO, of Zimbabwe. It
might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from
South African information bureau. 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 best farmers in the country and knowing that he
did not support the residents 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 two 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 ($25,000,000=00).TWENTY FIVE
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
ransfer
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 take
out of south africa 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 15% of the total fund, While 5% will be set used to
refund for local and international expenses and 80% will be kept for me and
my family .
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be one will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
Looking forward to your urgent reply .For detailed information.
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY
AND SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE
WILL BE
HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
BEST REGARDS,
FRANK MOYO
FOR THE FAMILY
