Dear Sir/Madam,
FAMILY REQUEST FOR HELP
This might be as a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I
got your address from the intenet, website of South African Chamber of
Commerce in johannesburg, South Africa.
My name is Mr.Henry Sithole the elder son of late Mr. Godson Sithole, of
Masingo Province of Zimbabwe. During the recent war against the (WHITE
FARMERS ) in my country Zimbabwe from the supports of our 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 their farm lands
and that they should leave our country Zimbabwe.
My father was one of the members of Zimbabwe farmers Associations (ZFA)
and he was the treasurer of the famers associations, he was not in support
of President Mugabe's ideas. President Mugabe's, supporters invaded my
father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made
away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
Befor my father,s death he told me that my country is no longer save for
us because of President Mugade's heet on the White farmers to everquate
their properties. He made it known to me that he had deposited with one of
the Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of
US$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen million five hundred thousand united states
dollars). for purchase of new farm machinery and chemicals for Agricultural
purposes in South Africa as
well as purchase of new hectors of land in Swaziland though the content of
the Box was not disclose to the Security Company.
After his death we were foced to move to South Africa where he had deposited
the money in the Security Company because his murderers wanted to wipe out
our entire family, knowing that we identify them. After readig about you on
the internet i believe that somebody like you will be capable of hadling
this kind of transaction so I decided to contact you. We seek your
assistance in transfering this fund out of South Africa because as we were
(Refugee)Asylum seekers we ware limited in so many areas,we ware not allowed
to operate any huge bank transaction within South Africa.
Nevertheless my family and i whould like you to assist us on any profitable
business we can invest this fund on, in your country. We have agreed to
offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out
for any expenses that may incurred in the course of this transaction and
70% will be for me and my family . I have all the documents that was use to
deposite this fund and am willing to send then to you by fax. If you are
willing to assist us, kindly furnish me your personal phone and fax numbers
for easy communication. And ,You can contact me on the above Telephone
number or contact me via my email address. I asure you that this transaction
is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Best Regards,
Mr.Henry Sithole.
