Dear Sir,
Firstly, let me introduce myself to you, my name is Joyce Nkomo the wife of
late Mr. James A. Nkomo of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about
where I got your e-mail contact address. I got your address from the South
African Chamber of Commerce and industry here in Johannesburg, Republic of
South Africa. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from
the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned
farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers
to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My husband was one of the richest farmers in our country and because he did
not support Mug Abe’s ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my husband farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband farm. Before his death, my husband had deposited with a
security firm abroad whose name is withheld for now until we open
communication. I shall be grateful if you could receive this fund into your
bank account for
safe keeping and any Investment opportunity.
One of the Security Company in South Africa the sum of US$8.5Million United
States Dollars). After the death of my husband, we left with nothing. I and
my Mother together with my only daughter decided to move to the Republic of
South Africa where My Late husband had deposited the money in the Security
Company as family valuables because the security company do no aware that
the real contents of the box is cash money in order to beat security measure
and also to avoid much charges from the security company.

companies that will assist us to move this money out of South Africa because

to operate any bank account or registered business within South Africa. We

the detailed procedures on how we will achieve this goal as soon as you
indicate your willingness to assist me and my family All I want you to do
is to furnish me with your private telephone, and fax numbers for easy
communication. Note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and absolutely
confidential. Please if you are willing to assist us, kindly contact me
through my e-mail address above. If God have touched your heart to assist
us, you can reach me through the above e-mail address as soon as possible
