Dear Sir/Madam,
A REQEUST FOR YOUR ASSITANCE
I can understand how surprise this letter will mean to you, but would advice
that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.
I am MRS.NKOSI JOHN ADAMS of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe I am in South African
as a Asylum Seeker. Your contact information came to me from your country's
trade journal during my search for a reliable and God fearing person that
can assist me and my only son, and I quite believe on my own that you can be
of great help in this regard even if I am not acquainted to you before.
The business involves the transfer of FOURTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
U.S. DOLLARS ONLY (US$14,500,000.00) into your account for safe keeping.
This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assassinated by the
president's (ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and property
during the crisis last year which lead to the killing and banishing of
foreign (white) farmers. After the death of my husband last year October
22nd. 2001 (A day I can never forget)
I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late husband had
filed a document with him which stipulates his "WILL". In the "WILL"he
specifically pointed and I quote, "Darling, I wish to draw your attention to
the sum of Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars
(U.S$14.5M)which I deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg South
Africa with all the documents filed by lawyer. In case of my absence on
earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can
assist you to transfer the money out of there (SA) for investment purposes.
I have saved this money to make the future of my only son "TONY" and you my
wife immediately the government started eyeing my business and involvements
with the white farmers. Please take good care of "TONY" and yourself; we
shall meet to part no more. From the above, you will understand that my
future especially the future of my son depends on this money, and as such I
will be grateful if you can assist us in transferring this fund to your
account overseas for our investments.
You can contact my son "TONY ADAMS" in South Africa on
Telephone:+27833638890.Email:(toadams111@hotmail.com) for more details as he
has been away with our lawyer to arrange the modalities of transferring this
fund without any hitch. For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 25%
of the whole fund,5% for any expenses that may be incurred while the
remaining 70% will be kept for us under your care till our arrival in your
country. God bless you for your anticipated understanding and co-operation.
Best regards,
Mrs.NKOSI JOHN ADAMS
