ATTN.: PRESIDENT/C.E.O
My name is Francis Mccarthy, the eldest child of Mr. Peter Mccarthy of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address. I
got your email address with the help of my family adviser through his
extensive research based on the instruction given to him by me to look for
some one with credibility, and a strong reputation in business world.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by supporters of
our president Robert Mugabe to claim and seize all the white owned farms and
farms owned by opposition minority and there by distributing the said farms
to his party members and his followers. My father was one of the best and
among the most successful commercial farmers in the land; and knowing of his
open criticism and condemnation of the president’s political ideology, his
religious segregation and totalitarian rule.
My father’s farm was invaded and every thing burnt down, his property
confiscated, investment and assets seized. Subsequently he was killed.
During this struggle, and prior to his untimely death, he brought my
attention to the sum of US$30million us dollars deposited at a security
company in South Africa as valuables. He said to me and I quote "my child I
wish to draw your attention to the money I deposited in a security company
as valuables in south Africa; in case of any untimely death, I want you to
do your best as my eldest child to get the money out of south Africa and
start a new life with your mother and your junior brother in a stable
environment especially where there’s religious freedom and respect for human
life”.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger brother
decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives and seek for
political asylum in South Africa. Afterward myself and my mother decided to
contact any reliable oversea firms or individual who could assist us by
coming down to south Africa to open a non-resident account which my
political status as an asylum seeker prohibits me from operating. This is
where my family adviser came up with your contact email address from his
research.
This money will be deposited into the account you will open and later be
channeled out to your nominated overseas account. We as asylum seekers here
in South Africa are not allowed to operate any type of account. if my
proposition is considered, we agreed that 5% of the total sum will be for
expenses incurred during this transaction,20% will be for you for your
assistance while 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country
with your assistance, so we can start a new life in a stable environment. if
you feel like helping me, please contact me through the above telephone
number for detailed information as well, please include your contact
telephone number and fax if possible.
Note.
(1) The key word to this transaction is absolute confidentiality and
secrecy. This transaction is 100% risk free and urgent response will be
highly appreciated.
(2) We as Africans we place so much emphases on trust and openness in all
our business dealings, as well as believing in our religious principles
according to the world of god.
Regards,
Francis Mccarthy
