ATTN: Director,
My names is Mr.SMITH MOYO,the elder son of Mr.ANTHONY MOYO,of Zimbabwe. It
might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from
net work on line South African . During the current crises against the
farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to
claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white
farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.My
father was one of the best 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,shot him and as a result of
the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days.
And after his death, I with my younger Brother decided to move out of
Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.BUT, before he died HE
WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION
TO THE SUM OF ($18,600,000). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH my father, 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."From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my
family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can
assist us.I with my younger brother are now living in South-Africa as
POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not
allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such huge amount of money .
In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am
asking you to assist me transfer this money out of South-Africa for
investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 30% of the
total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses
and 65% will be kept for me and my family . Finally modalities on how the
transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and
confidence between ourselves.Looking forward to your urgent reply .For
detailed information. NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT
RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY
APPRECIATED. All the best,
