Subject: Please assist my Family
From Mr. Gamuchirai Mokoena
Johannesburg,South Africa.
Dear Sir/Madam
Good Day Due to my careful search for an honest, reliable and sincere business Partner, I got your contact from Internet and I ask if you can be trusted not to break an agreement? Still, it took me time to make up my mind to contact you and to offer you this proposal of mine of which my whole life depends on. My name is Mr. Gamuchirai Mokoena, the son of Late Mr. Anthony Mokoena a Zimbabwe business Man, politician and Farmer.
During the current crises against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of 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 farms to his party members and his followers.
My Father is One of the most successful multi- farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabe`s ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded his farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing him and made away with a lot of items in my Father's farm.
(But, before he died he wrote his will, which reads "(my beloveed son, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of ($25,000,000=00).Twenty-Five Million U.S Dollars which I deposited in a box with a security company in Johannesburg (South-Africa).in case of my absence on earth caused by death only". You should solicit for reliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I deposited the money in your name
and it can be claimed by you alone with the deposit code. Your mother has all the
documents. Take good care of your mother and brother.".) After the death of my father, I and my mother decide to move to South Africa where we re-located under political asylum as a refugee to seek for foreign partner overseas that will assist me to move this money out of the finance company to his country. All I am asking you is to assist us to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purposes.
The reason being that I and my mother are living in South Africa as political asylum seekers and the financial laws of South Africa do not allow Asylum Seekers certain financial rights, hence I shall be very grateful if you can assist us. But I will like you to come down to South Africa so that we can meet in person and to sit and signed the investment agreement on out to move the fund to the designated account number.
We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance as soon as the money gets into your account. I want truth and honest to be our watchword in this transaction and please treat this transaction with strictly confidential for the successful out come of it. All I want you to do are to furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy and urgent communication.
Note that this transaction is 100% Risk free and absolutely confidential. Reply to my private Email address: mgamuchira@yahoo.com
Thanks and God bless you.
Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Gamuchirai Mokoena
