Dear Sir,
My name is Mr ANTHONY GEZI, the elder son of Mr.NDILOVU
GEZI,of Zimbabwe. 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 president’s
political ideology, the president’s supporters invaded
my father’s 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). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH
I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN
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 since I
do not know anybody to invest it with, 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 Invest the total fund in
your Company.
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.
BEST REGARDS,
ANTHONY GEZI
(FOR THE FAMILY)
