FROM: MISS SARAH HENDRICH
JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA
DEAR SIR/MADAM
URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am MISS SARAH HENDRICH the daughther of late Mr JOHN HENDRICH a white farmer in Zimbabwe who was the President of the Cooperative Agricultural Societies (CAS) in Zimbabwe. I got your contact address from South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
During the current crisis against the white farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all white farms in my country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers. My father was one of the biggest farmers in the country and although a black indigene, he did not support the President Political Ideology. Therefore the President supporters invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything killed him and confiscated all his investments.
After the death of my father, my mother and I together with my younger sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe for safety of our lives. On our departure from Zimbabwe, we took along with us some money which my father kept in the safe with my mothers custody which amounted to the sum of US $25,500,000.00 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) to the republic of South Africa where we have deposited it as personal valuables in a private security company and sought for political asylum. These funds were meant for purchase of agricultural equipment and machinery.
My mother has suggested and I agreed that we have to move out of the African Continent to overseas for actual safety and to do reliable business investments. Therefore we have decided that I should contact the reliable business person/firm/company who could assist us to transfer this money out of South Africa through a current investment account because as refugees we are not allowed to operate any account exceeding US $2000.00(TWO THOUSAND US DOLLAR). So we need your help to come down to South Africa to open a bank account through which we can transfer this money to your country. For assisting us to transfer this money to your country we unanimously
Agree to offer you 25% of the total sum, 5% will be for any expenses that may be incurred during this transaction, 70% will be for me and my family to be invested in your country under your assistance and your supervision. If my proposal is considered you can contact me on my on this my email address hendrich@myway.com For more detail information.
Please note that because of our political status we intend to keep private and confidential information about the whole process of this transaction. We beg that for my family protection you absolutely keep this private and confidential. This is guaranteed as 100% risk free transaction
Best Regards
MISS SARAH HENDRICH
