URGENT INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
Dear ,
With due respect trust and humility, I am writing to solicit for your assistance which will be of great relieve to me and my family if considered. I got your contact from South African Chamber of commerce and industry while I was looking for a reliable and capable person that will assist my family to transfer our family fund to his personal or company's account for investment. But before I continue I must introduce myself to you since we do not know each other before now. I am MR.FRANKLIN JUMO the son of Late Chief JUMO EDWARD of Zimbabwe.
During the crisis against the white farmers of Zimbabwe and supporters of our president Mr. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farmlands in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farmlands to his party members and their followers. My father was one of the richest and popular farmer in Zimbabwe and knowing that my father did not support the president's political ideology, the president Flair against him and ordered his supporters to invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything and on the process they killed him and seize all they could lay hands on including farm produce.
Though before the death of my father, he called my attention to a box containing US$20 million United States Dollars only, (Twenty Million United States Dollars) which he deposited in my name in a private security company in South Africa with some of his other vital documents. This money he got from the sales of tobacco and other farm products. So after our fathers death my mother knew that we are no more safe in our country, then she decided we move to South Africa for the safety of our lives and to look for a reliable and trustworthy person to assist us transfer this money to his/her personal or company’s account for investment as this is all we have left since the death of my father.
We are now here in South Africa as asylum seeker and South African Monetary law does not allow an asylum seeker to operate in any of there commercial banks, there by making it impossible for any of us to open an account through which this fund will be channeled out. This is why we need your assistance to travel down to South Africa to open a non-resident bank account in your name where this fund will be deposited first before on-ward transfer to your nominated oversea account.
Finally knowing that time is money and for your humble acceptance and assistance, we have agreed to offer you 15% of the total sum once the money is successfully transferred to your nominated account overseas, 75% will be for my family to invest in your country under your supervision. While 10% will be set aside for any expenses that might be incurred during the cause of this transaction.
For more information, please contact me through my contact addresses above.
Best Regards,
MR.FRANKLIN JUMO
