Dear Sir,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know
me personally. I am MRS LIZZY BEN, Wife of MR BEN DOUGLAS, who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact Here in South
Africa hence I decided to write to you. Before the death of my Husband,
he had taken me to Johannesburg South Africa to deposit the sum of US$24
Million, (Twenty Four Million United States Dollars) in one of the Private
Security Company, as if he foresees the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This
money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines
and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when
Zimbabwean President MR. MUGABE introduced a new land Act reform which wholly
affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted
to the killing and mob action by
Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot
of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which myhusband
was one of the victims.
It is against this back ground that, me and my two children who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my Husband's money to a foreign
country since the Law of South Africa Prohibits Refugees open any bank account
or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout
the territorial zones of South Africa.
As the only matured person that is the wife, I am saddled with the responsibility
of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
into without the knowledge of my government who is bent on taking everything.
All I seek for is an honest businessman, who
I can entrust my future and t hat of my family; I must also let you know
that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you accept to assist me and
my family all I want from you is for you to make arrangements and come down
to Johannesburg-South Africa, so that you can help me open a Non-Resident
Account in your name which will aid us in transferring the money into your
any account you will Nominated oversea. This money I intend to use for investment
and growth in your country.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage
of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can
go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the
money in your country. Whichever, the option you want, feel
free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds
of expenses we mighty incurred in the process of this transaction. If you
do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give 25% of the money while
the remaining 70% will remain f or my family and me. If you are really capable
and willing to assist me, please contact me immediately with my email address
with which I have sent you this message
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible; I 'm in dire need
to leave this country soonest. Thanks for your mutual co-operation. you
can contact me through my email address.
thank you.
I expect your soonest response.
Best Regards,
MRS LIZZY BEN FAMILY
