URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANT
ATTN: Sir/Madam,
Good day! My name is MRS .MONICA MARTINS the wife of MR. JOE MARTINS of
ZIMBABWE. This might be a surprise
to you where I got your contact address from South African Chamber of Commerce
and Industry in Johannesburg. During the current war against the farmers
in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim
all the white owned
farms in our country, he ordered all the white owned farmers to surrender
all their farms to his party members and his followers and my husband is
one of the best farmers in the country. Because he did not support his idea,
his supporters invaded my husband?s
farm and burnt everything in the farm and killed my husband and confiscated
all his investment.
After the death of my husband and my children, I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because our lives are still in danger with the money my husband
kept in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is
US$22.5 Million (United States Dollars) and we decided to move with the
money through Diplomatic means to the Republic of South Africa where we
deposited the money through diplomatic means and we were forced to seek
a political asylum as a refugee.
So I decided to make contact with an overseas firm who will assist us to
transfer the money out of South Africa because we are asylum seekers here
in South Africa, Which deprive us not to operate an account with any bank
here in South Africa neither to invest.If you consider this proposal, we
have agreed to offer you the total sum of 25% for helping us transfer this
money to your country and 5% will be mapped out for expenses both of us
incurred during the transaction while 70% will be for my family to invest
in your country. You are requested to fly down to South Africa for a crucial
meeting and signing agreement. Of there is time, we will also commence in
the transaction which will take 3 to 4 working days.
Your personal phone and fax number are needed for easy communication. You
can contact me with the above Telephone number and e-mail address for the
security resons phone:27-83-9899-826 Note: This transaction is 100% Risk
free and absolute
confidential. And you can also contact my son MR.PATRICK MARTINS on his
phone numbers 27-83-989 9826 for more information.please contact him.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless.
MRS .MONICA MARTINS
