(URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE)
Dear. Sir/Madam.
This Letter Was First Sent To You Via Post Mail Two Months Ago, But Up till
Now, I Have Not Heard From You. Based On This, I Decided To Reach You
Through This Means. Through, I Know For Security Reasons, This Is Not The
Safest Means To Reach You, But Was Left With No
Other Viable Option Since There Is The Pressing Need To Reach You. I Am
Quite Sure That This Mail Will Surprise You Since I Have Not Been Having
Previous Correspondences With You.
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don’t know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR Daniel George. The
Son of the late Jonathan George who was murdered in a land disputing
Zimbabwe.
The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave your contact to me in
Johannesburg as a reliable and Trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to
contact you
My Father was among the few rich Black Zimbabwean farmers who were murdered
by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT MUGABE for his
alleged
Support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my Father, he took me to South Africa to deposit a sum
of US$20 Million (TWENTY Million United States Dollars) with a security and
Finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was
deposited as Gem/Precious Stones to avoid much demurrage from the security
firm.
This money was ear marked for the purchase of machinery and chemicals for
the farms and also for the Establishment of new farms in Swaziland and
Lesotho.
The land problem arose when president Mugabe introduced the new land Act
that wholly affects the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
condemned the ‘MODUS OPERAND I’ adopted by the Government. .
This resulted in rampant killing and mob actions. My family and I are
currently staying here in South Africa as refugees or asylum seekers and
have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest
it.
I am faced with a dilemma of investing this money here in South Africa with
the fear of encountering the same problems in the future because Zimbabwe
and South Africa share the same political history. Moreover, the South
African monetary policies do not allow asylum seekers to do any investment.
I want to let you know that this business is 100% risk free. So if you are
willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to offer you 20% of the
total money. 75% will be for us, while the remaining 5% will be mapped out
for all expenses we may incur during this transaction.
Therefore, if you are interested and willing to offer the needed assistance
endeavor to reply through my privet email danielgeorge001@yahoo.com or
contact me through my tell +27-72-297-8928. I also need your private Tel/Fax
numbers for easy communication.
Remember to keep this business confidential.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
MR Daniel George.
