PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSITSTANCE
ATTN:SIR/ MADAM,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe, would be of great interest for both of us, I found your contact
while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and
capable foreign partner that will assist my family in this transaction.
I am MR. Mack Douglas Moye, the son of Mr Douglas Moyo Moye of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support our
president ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white/ black owned farms in our
country, all the white/black farmers were ordered to surrender their farms
to his party members and his followers. My father who was one of the best
farmers in our country did not support his idea. And so the party members
invaded my
father’s farms and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made
away with a lot of treasures in my father’s farm/house.
After the death of my father, I and my mother and my sister decided to move
out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger. But before then, my
father has told my mother that there is a box that was deposited with a
Security Company in South Africa, this money was raised by his farmer's
group for the purchasing of farming equipments/machineries before th land
dispute
rose. The amount involved is US$20M (Twenty Million United States Dollars)
only, but according my father, the content of the box was not disclosed
to the Security Company for security reasons, besides it was decleared as
a valuable item. So we decided to make contact with an overseas firm who
will assist us to move this money out of South Africa because we are Asylum
Seekers in South Africa and according to our investigation/enquiries, the
laws of this country does not permit us some certain rights, such as
operating a bank accounts, investment, study and other monetary
transaction.
However, if you consider this proposal beneficial on your side, we have
agreed to give you 15% of the total sum for your kind assistancwe/help to
move this money out of the country, and 85% will be for me and my family
to invest in your country or any country of our choice. All I want is for
you to show us your willingness and capability of assisting us in every
aspect of this transaction. In your willing response to this proposal,
endeavour to enclose your direct contact numbers for
easy and strong communication/co-ordination in this transaction. You can as
well contact me on the above Tel/Fax numbers or e-mail address.
NOTE: That the formalities and modalities needed in this transaction will be
made known to you as soon as Trust,Prudence and confidentiality are
established. For your reputation and integrity in life, this transaction is
100% RISK FREE.
Thanks and God bless,
Best regards,
Mack Douglas Moyo
(For The Family)
