I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE!!
Good day!
My name is Mrs. Grace Thomas from Zimbabwe. I am writing to solicit for your
kind assistance following my present condition here in South Africa.However,
I do fore-see the surprise my letter will bring you hence we've not had
previous contacts.But for the purpose of introduction, I am the wife of late
Mr.Johnson Thomas of masingo province in Zimbabwe who was murderred during
the LAND REFORM crisis in Zimbabwe.Considerring the surprise my letter will
bring to you, be advised that your contact was made avalable to me through
the (INTERNET WEB-SITE) of the South African chamber of commerce and
industries
During the recent war against the (WHITE FARMERS ) in my country 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 the
white farmers to surrender all their farm lands and that they should leave
our country Zimbabwe. My husband was one of the members of Zimbabwe farmers
Associations (ZFA) and he was the treasurer of the farmers associations and
was not in support of President MUGABE’S ideas. Because of this, the
President, ROBERT MUGABE instructed his supporters to invade my husband’s
farm and burnt everything in the farm. On the day of the operation, they
stabbed and tied my husband and made away with a lot of items in my
husband’s farm.
However, before my husband give-up to death, he told me that our country is
no longer safe for us hence Mr. MUGABE insist that the White farmers must
evacuate from their properties. He made it known to me that he had deposited
with one of the Security Companies in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of
US$20.5MILLION (twenty million five hundred thousand united states dollars)
which he was intended to use for the purchases of a new farm machinery and
chemicals for a new agricultural project in South Africa as well as
purchasing a new hectors of land in Swaziland.
After the death my husband, we were forced to move to South Africa where he
had deposited the money in the Security Company because the murderers might
decide to wipe out my entire family. Upon the result of this event, after
reading about your profiles on the internet I became convinced that somebody
like you will be capable of helping me to retrieve this fund from the
security company as well as transferring it to your country and also
assisting me in terms of investing the money wisely in a profitable business
there in your country. This is why I decided to contact you. I seek your
assistance in transferring this fund out of South Africa because as am a
Refugees(Asylum seeker) I have limited access in so many areas, I am not
allowed to operate any bank transaction within South Africa.
Upon your ability to assist me, I have agreed to offer you 25% of the total
sum, 5% will be set-aside for any expenses that may incurred in the course
of transferring this fund to any of your nominated bank account in your
country and 70% will be for me and my family .I have all the documents that
was used to deposit this fund and I am willing to send them to you by any
means If you are willing to assist me.
Lastly, kindly furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy
communication. You can equally contact my son through the above Telephone
number or contact me via my alternative email
address:<grace_thomas01@hotmail.com> . Be rest assured that this transaction
is 100% risk free hence it must be kept confidential.
Best Regards,
MRS.GRACE THOMAS.
