Dear Sir,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings,
and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However
strange or surprising this contact might seem to you,
as we have not met personally or had any dealings in
the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration
of its importance and immense benefit. I also
sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this
proposal to you as a person of integrity.
For introduction, I am Ms Mary Madeira OF ZIMBABWE the
elder daughter of late Mr Martin Madeira , of Masingo
Province of Zimbabwe. As led by my instinct, I
selected your email address from an internet directory
in my search for a honest partner who would assist
and cooperate with me in achieving this beneficial
business hence this email.
During the current war against the farmers in
Zimbabwe, the supporters of our President Robert
Mugabe 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 was one of the outspoken and few rich black
farmers who did not support and stridently opposed
President Mugabe's ideas.Because of this, President
Mugabe ordered his supporters to invade my father's
farm and they burnt everything in the farm occupying
and forceby claiming the large acres of land that was
once my father's farm , killing my father and made
away with all of the items in my father's farm.
Before my father's death however, and as if he
foresaw the looming dangers in Zimbabwe,he made it
known to me that he has deposited with one of the
Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum
of US$15 Million (Fifteen Million United States
Dollars and declared its contents to the security
company officials as "Precious Gems" that was meant to
ship to his friend abroad. This was done for safety
reasons as the security company would not have
accepted it for safe keeping had my father declared it
to contain cash.
After his death we(I and my jounger brother) decided
to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had
deposited the money in the Security Company because

transaction is that you have to give me 100% assurance
