Subject: I Need Your Assistance
From: Mrs. Maria Cheremba
NO 17 KLIPS ROAD OBSERVATORY
CAPE TOWN
SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Sir/Madam
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know
me personally, I am Mrs. Maria Cheremba the wife of Dr Simon Cheremba, who
was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through
network, in my search for a reliable person who will handle a very
confidential issue that involves my family fund,which my husband left for my
self and my son.
Therefore i which to seek your help as a foreigner, who has a foreign
account and a respectable person that be able to handle this for us by
investing it into a good profitable business venture.
Now, for brief introduction of my self and my family, my husband was
Murdered in Cold Blood by the agents of the ruling government of President
Robert Mugabe, for land dispute. I am 48 years old with three children, two
boys one girl and my first son, whom i want you and him to handle this fund
my husband left for us. my self and my son have been praying heard for God
to give us a reliable and honest person, who will take us as one of his
family and take us as part of his life with ouit any doubhle thought or
thinking, because this situation that cost by a man made us we did not kno
wthat to say, but God knows what to say and he will deliver us from this
situation.
We surpose to made this search for a long time, but due to the fact that, we
have been waiting upon the lord to give us a good direction of what to do
and how to go about this, concerning this fund, by God touching any man or
woman who is sincere and God fearing person, that will handle this fund and
our situation for now, because we have no other hope than God.
Furthermore, everybody knows this story of land reform in Zimbabwe, which
involve killing and murdering of many peoples, which my husband was a victim
for his support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled
by the white minority. Before his death we had some money, which my self and
my husband agreed to keep the money in a safe place within Southern region.
before the death of my husband, the money was deposited in a safe place and
it was
$8,100,000.00 (Eight million One Hundred Thousand united state dollars) and
it is intact where it is, as if we foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
($8,100,000.00)
This money was embarked from the purchase of New Machinery and Chemical for
farms and establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land
problem arose when
President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act which affected the Rich
white farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"
adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some
political thugs, precisely more than, One hundred and one (101) peoples have
so far been killed. Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain
and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's
plan. Subsequently, South Africa development community (S.A.D.C) has
continuously supported President Robert Mugabe's new land act. it was on
this background that I and my family who are currently Residing in south
Africa decided to seek for a good person who will handle the transfer of our
money, which my husband left for us. as a WIDOW, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account, where this money could
be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are tactically
freezing our family fund And South African government seems to be playing
along with them.
I face with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for fear of
encountering the same experience in future, since both countries have almost
the same political history. More so, the south African foreign exchange
policy does not allow such investment hence we are an "ASYLUM SEEKER". As a
business person whom I entrusted my future and that of my family into his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100%Legal free and the
nature of your business does not necessarily mattered. For your assistance,
we are offering you $1,620,000. (One million Six Hundred and Twenty Thousand
U.S.A Dollars) 20% of total sum.
As soon as you declare your intention to help me and my family, kindly
contact me or my son Paul Cheremba on this Telephone number: 0027 83 237
7608 and e-mail address: (mrs_mariacheremba@yahoo.co.uk). As soon as you
read this mail and you are ok with it to help, please do not hesitate to

Mrs. Maria Cheremba
