Subject: FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Moses Moyo the son of Mr. Thomas Moyo of Zimbabwe. It might
be a surprise to you where I got your contact address but I got your
contact address from the International Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
During the last crises against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim the farms in our country, he
ordered all the farmers to surrender their farms to his party members
and their followers. My father was one of the good farmers in the
country and knowing that he did not support the Presidents political
ideology, the Presidents supporters invaded my fathers farm burnt down
everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. To our greatest
surprise my father's younger brother (My Uncle) was among the person that
killed my father, he said that he wanted to inherit my dad's property
because he known some of the business ventures of my father. After the
death of my father, my mother and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe for
Republic of South Africa
for the safety of our lives, because my uncle threatened to kill my
mother and I so he can succeed in his plans. My father's lawyer called
my mother and told her that my father have a large some of money in his
account in the Republic of South Africa, after proper
conversation with the lawyer who is now dead, he handed over the
documents to my mother and told her that the money amounted to the sum of
US$ 7.5 Million and was deposited in a private security and finance
house for safe keeping in the Republic of South Africa where we now
seek political asylum, I have decided to contact any reliable overseas
firm or persons who could assist us to claim this money out from the
financial house because we as asylum seeker here in South Africa we are not
allowed certain financial rights like operating a bank account.
We need you to open a non-resident account through which this fund will
be channeled out to your nominated overseas account. If my preposition
is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country,
we will offer you 40% of the total fund and 50% for me and my family
while 10% will be kept for expenses (if any). My family and I will like
to invest in your country under your guidance and assistance. Your
urgent response to my personal box will be highly appreciated.
(mosesmoyo80@yahoo.com)anxiously waiting for you reply.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Moses Moyo
For the family.
