PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS HELP
Good day! My name is AKIN OMINE NGENGE(JR) the son of
DR. AKIN OMINE NGENGE.
from the Eastern Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address.
I got your esteemed contact from the South African Chamber of Commerce here in Johammesburg. During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farm in our country,
all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farm to his party members and his followers. My father who was one of the best farmer did not support his idea and so, the party members invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed
my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm. After my father was killed, my mother,my younger sister and I have no other option than to ran out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger-with the money my father kept in his hidden safe in my mother's home. The amount contained in the safe is totaling
US$16.5M (Sixteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only). We now decided to code the money and move to the Republic of South Africa where we deposited the money in a Finance Company on as a valuable item belonging to our
foreign affiliate. After the deposition of the money, I was advised to make contact with an overseas firm who will assist me to move this money out of South Africa because we are Asylum Seekers here in the Republic of South Africa. So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you 25% for helping us to move this money to your country,
while 10% will be mapped out for the expenses both of us incurred during the course of this transaction and 65% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. All I want is for you to furnish me with your personal private telephone numbers
and facsimile numbers for easy communication. Please contact me on the above-secured telephone numbers.
NOTE:this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards,
AKIN OMINE NGENGE.
(For the family)
