Subject: PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE
This is a very confidential and honest request and l hope that by the special Grace of GOD, you will not regrect considering this noble request.
My name is MIKE eldest son of Mr.DAVE of Zimbabwe.
It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, it was through an office assistant at the South Africa Chambers of Commerce and Industry here in johanessburg.
Please don't be worried. During the current crisis 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 surrendertheir 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 supporters invaded my father's farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. 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. We took along with us the money my father kept in the safe in my mother's house which amounted to the sum of US$12.7 Million United States Dollars to the Republic of South Africa. The fund is presently being kept away in the secret vaults
of a private security firm based here in Johannesburg .The officials of the firm believes they are helping use in keeping the Valuables, not realizing, that it's
money. Myself and my mother have decided to contact you for
assistance in transfering this money out of The Republic of South Africa, becausewe as asylum seeker here in South Africa cannot open a non-resident account through which this fund will be channeled out to your nominated overseas account. If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you
20% of the total fund, and 5% of thetotal will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction. 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country under your supervision.
Best Regards,
