Dear Sir,
PRIVATE AND HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Greeting! I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please this
letter is a request from a family in dire need of assistance. I am Mr.
Ishmeal Bakari from Zimbabwe. The first and the only son of Mr. Suleman
Bakari formal land and acquisition reform committee chairman in Zimbabwe.
I got your address from my random search at the net. And, I on behalf of my
widowed mother Mrs. Miriam Bakari decided to solicit for your assistance to
transfer the sum of US$22 Million (Twenty two Million United States
Dollars), which he deposited in a safe box to private security company in
Johannesburg, South Africa.
In fact, my father said, and I quote: “My son, I wish to draw your attention
to US$22 Million (Twenty two Million United States Dollars). I deposited the
box containing the fund in a security company in Johannesburg, South Africa
as valuables. During the land dispute, I was very committed and dedicated in
winning the war against the rebels, until I found out that the senior army
officers and government functionaries were busy helping themselves with
government funds and properties, sending them to foreign countries. Due to
this, my late father resigned from his duty pose in government of Robert
Mugabe regime which lead to his brutal murder.
In case of my absence on earth as a result of death, only you should solicit
for assistance of a reliable and sincere foreign partner to assist you to
transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited
the box in your name and you can claim it alone with deposited code. Your
mother is with all the documents. Take good care of your mother and your
sisters.
>From this word of my late father, you can understand that life and future of
my family depend on this fund, as such I will be grateful if you can assist
us. We are now living in South Africa as political asylum seekers. Financial
laws and regulations of the Republic of South Africa do not permit us
certain financial rights. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in
South Africa hence; I am seeking
your assistance to transfer this fund out of South Africa for investment
purpose. For your assistance, we are prepared to offer you 25% of the total
fund while 5% will be set aside for any expenses incurred during this
transaction.
Please note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and the major thing I
demand from you is to assure me the safety of this money when it finally
gets to you. Further information and arrangement commence as soon as trust
confidence and good relationship are established. I shall be most grateful
if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter. Please, confirm your
interest through the above contact Telephone numbers or email.
Best regards,
ISHMEAL BAKARI.
{For the family}
