LETTER OF ASSISTANCE FOR MY FAMILY
Hello
Good Day
I know You might be surprise to receive this mail letter from me since
you don?t know me personally. I am Mrs.Sarah Johnson the wife of late Mr
Michael Johnson who was murdered by the Zimbabwean war veterans and irate
black people. I am writing this letter from Harare, Zimbabwe.
I got your contact address through a friend that works in South Africa chamber
of commerce and Industry in South Africa, when I want to South Africa lest
week to see my son Anthony. After due consideration of your Profile, hence
I decided to write to you. I write to solicit for your special assistance
to my family Shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and
his (ZANU-PF) ruling party, President ROBERT MUGABE.
Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwean the government secretly
sponsored the war Veterans and some irate party members to dispose the land
being occupied by the white farmers.
This action has led to killing of some members of opposition party including
my husband who did not support this ill-fated action. But before the death
of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum
of US$25.5 million dollars (Twenty five million five Hundred Thousand united
state dollars) to South Africa and deposited it in a Security Company With
the intention of using it for the purchase of farm machinery and chemicals
for agricultural Purpose in South Africa and establishment of a new farm
in Swaziland.
This money was deposited in a box as family valuables to avoid much demurrage
in the Security Company. On the 29 august 2002 the war veterans and some
spotters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compound and axed my
husband to death and my second son of 22yrs. Since then they have been terrorizing
my son Anthony but he managed to escape to neighbouring country South Africa
as a political asylum seeker (refugee). His position in South Africa does
not permit him to open an account or to operate any business. That is why
I want this fund to be transferred in your account so that you will assist
him to invest the money in your country. If you accept to assist us, all
I want from you is to arrange and come down to Johannesburg South Africa
so that you can help him to open a non-resident bank account in your name,
or in your company name which will aid us in transferring the money into
your nominating account overseas.
I and my family have two options for you, firstly, you can choose to have
certain percentage of the money for nominating your account in this transaction
or we can go into partnership with you for the proper profitable investment
of the money in your country whichever the option you want fell free to
notify with him. He will then furnish you with every detail you needed to
know. We have also mapped out 5% of the total sum for any expenses that
might be incurred during the time of this transaction. If you do not prefer
a partnership, we are willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining
70% will remain for my family, if you are really capable and willing to
assist us please contact him immediately in South Africa with this telephone
00-27-83-503-1857, Or e_mail; {anthonyjohnson01@webmail.co.za}
finally please treat this mater as urgent as possible, I?m in dire him to
leave that country soonest. Thanks for you?re mutual co-operation.
I expecting your soonest and urgent response.
Best Regards,
MRS SARAH JOHNSON.
