Dear Friend,
Good day! My name is PRINCE VUYO the elder son of Mr VUYO(KSJ) of Zimbabwe. This might be surprise to you where I got your contact address .I got your address from NET South Africa chamber of commerce and industry in Johannesburg.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country, so he ordered all the white owned farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. Moreover, my father is one of the best farmers in our country because he did not support his idea and his supporters invaded my father’s entire farm, burnt everything in the farm, killed my father, and confiscated all his investment.
After the death of my father, I and my mother together with my younger sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives is still in danger with the money my father kept in his hidden safe in my mother house .The amount contained in the safe box was US$ 18,500,000.00(Eighteen million five hundred thousand United State Dollars). We decided to move out with the money through diplomatic means to the Republic of South Africa where we currently deposited the money in a security and financial company for safe keeping and we were forced to seek apolitical asylum as a refugee.
Therefore, I decided to contact with the overseas firm whom 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 of 25%of the total sum, for helping us to transfer this money to your country, 5%will be for the expenses made by both of us locally and internationally. While 70%will be for my family to invest in your country. Therefore, you are requested to fly down to South Africa for a crucial meeting, and signing
agreement .if there is time we will also commence the
transaction, which will take 4to 5 working days.
Now, I want you to furnish me with your personal phone and fax number as well as e-mail address for easy
communication. You can as well contact me with the above phone Number or through mail.
NOTE: This transaction is 100% risks free and absolute
confidential and admired.
Your urgent response will be highly acceptable.
Sincerely yours
PRINCE VUYO
(On behalf of the family)
