Dear Friend
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
My name is Mr TUTU MOYO, the elder son of Mr JAMES MOYO of Zimbabwe. This
might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got
your address from the South African Information
center 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 their 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 Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot
of items in my father's farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with one of he Security Company
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$18. 5 Million (Eighteen Million
Five Hundred Thousand 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 I decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist me
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 20% 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 and 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your
country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire personal phone and
fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact me on the above Telephone
and fax numbers. Note that this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely
confidential.
email me at mutu01@myway.com
Thanks and God bless.
Regards,
Mr TUTU MOYO
