Subject: SAVE A SOUL
My name is Mr RANDOLF OLIVER THAMBO JR. I am the eldest son of Late MR.OLIVER
THAMBO of Zuma district in ZIMBABWE.
This might be a surprise to you on how I got your contact address. It was
from the ZIMBABWE chambers of commerce and Industry.
Consequent upon the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters
of President Mugabe, to claim all the white owned farms to his party members
and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender their farm
lands to his party members and his supporters.
My dad was among the rich and well known farmers in Zimbabwe, and due to
the fact that he did not support such an obnoxious and retrogressive policy
of MUGABE his farm was invaded by MUGABES thugs and everything in the farm,
including my dad were destroyed. He died in the process and all the valuables
in the farm were looted and those they couldn't loot, were destroyed.
However, before his death, he had deposited with a security firm, the sum
of $4.5m USD(Four Million Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars} for
safe keeping due to the heat that was turned on the opposition by MUGABE
but the security company does not know the content of the consignment since
he registerred it as treasure. It therefore became imperative that we had
to move to South Africa, where he had deposited the money with a security
company, which he declared as valuables and family treasures.
Meanwile, the consignment has been moved by the security company to their
Off-shore Office.
I am therefore constrained to make this contact in order to seek your help
in moving this fund out from the security firm. My status as an asylum seeker
does not permit me to operate any account in South Africa.
My family would be willing to offer you thirty percent (10%) of the total
sum for your assistance, five percent (5%) will be mapped out for paying
back/ compensate you for any contingent expenses that may be incurred in
the course of the transaction, while Sixty percent (60%) will be for me
and my family,which we may hope to reinvest in your country. Only if you
would personally assure me that you would not sit on this money when transfered
into your designated account overseas.
I would be glad to hear from you as soon as you receive this message showing
your interest to offer your assistance on this mail box or any of the above
email, as time is of great essence to rap up this project.
Thanks and God bless you.
MR RANDOLF OLIVER THAMBO JR
