MY NAME IS YUSUF SULEMAN. THE ELDER SON OF LATE MR.MUSTAFA SULEMAN OF
ZIMBABWE. , I KNOW THAT YOU WILL BEVERY WORRIED AS HOW I GOT YOUR CONTACT,
WELL I GOT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS THROUGH THE INTERNET, IN MY SEARCH FOR A
RELIABLE AND TRUSTABLE SOMEONE THAT CAN STAND FOR MY FAMILY AS REGARDS
FINANCIAL MATTER. THIS IS DUE TO OUR STATUS AS A POLITICAL REFUGEE.
THE PROPOSAL. DURING THE CURRENT CRISES AGAINST THE FARMERS OF ZIMBABWE BY
THE SUPPORTERS OF OUR PRESIDENT "ROBERT MUGABE" WHO WON THE RESENT ELECTION
BRINGING HIM BACK TO SEAT AGAIN FOR TWENTY-TWO (22) YEARS TO CLAIM ALL THE
WHITE/FEW BLACK OWNED FARMS IN OUR COUNTRY, HE ORDERED ALL THE WHITE FARMERS
TO SURRENDER THEIR FARMS TO HIS PARTY MEMBERS AND THEIR FOLLOWS. MY FATHER
WAS ONE OF THE FAMOUS BLACK FARMERS AND A STRONG POLITICIAN IN MY COUNTRY
AND BECAUSE HE DID NOT SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT'S POLITICAL IDEOLOGY, THE
PRESIDENT'S SUPPORTERS INVADED MY FATHER'S FARM BURNT DOWN EVERYTHING,
KILLED HIM AND CONFISTICATED ALL HIS INVESTMENTS.
AFTER THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, MY MOTHER,MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND MYSELF
DECEIDED TO MOVE OUT OF ZIMBABWE FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR LIVES, AS I AM
WRITING YOU, WE DO NOT HAVE A HOUSE TO SLEEP AGAIN, OUR ACCOUNT HAS BEEN
CONFISTICATED, SO ARE JUST ON THE RUN FOR OUR LIFE.
NOW BEFORE MY FATHER'S DEATH HE INFORMED MY MOTHER AND MYSELF OF A VAULT
(ONE METAL BOX) CONTANING US$11.1 MILLION (ELEVEN MILLION, ONE HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLAR) WHICH HE DEPOSITED IN A HIGH FACILITY FINANCE
AND SECURITY COMPANY HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA AS A FAMILYCONSIGNMENT BELONGING
TO HIS FAMILY FRIEND, HE DECLEAR THE CONTENT AS "ORNAMENTS AND JEWELRY" FOR
SAFETY PURPOSES.
SO MY MOTHER AND I HAVE DECEIDED TO SOLICIT FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE TO COME AND
ASSIST US CLAIM AND TRANSFER THIS FUND OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA, THIS IS AS A
RESULT OF OUR STATUS AS ASYLUM SEEKER (REFUGEE). SOUTH AFRICA FINANCIAL LAW
DOES NOT ALLOW REFUGEE RIGHT TO FINANCIAL TRANSACTION, REASON WHY I WANT YOU

CHANNELED OUT TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT OVERSEA.
FOR ALL THE REQUIRED ASSISTANCE AND EFFORT, MY FAMILY AND I HAS AGREED TO
