Subject: URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
FROM:MR.JOHN GEZI.JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA.Tel: +27-73-219-9976.URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCEDear Friend,How are you,my name is JOHN GEZI the elder son of Mr. DOUGLAS GEZI of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where we got your contact address. we got your address from the South African Chamber of Commerce in Johannesburg, South Africa.
During the current war against the farmers in 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 farms to his party members and his followers.
My father is one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabes ideas, Mugabes supporters invaded my fathers farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my fathers farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US $25M (TWENTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS).After the death of my father, we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as valuables.
So we decided to contact you as an overseas firm or company to assist us to move this money out of South Africa because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any Bank Account within South Africa. We have agreed to offer you 15% of the total sum for your assistance,5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction while 80% will be for me and my family to invest in your country.
All we want you to do is to furnish me with your entire personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. please contact us immediatly on the above E-mail address. Note that this transaction is 100% Risk free and absolutely confidential,please we need your urgent reply,Thanks and God bless.
Best Regard,
John Gezi,(For the Family)
