My dear,
You may be surprised to receive this strange letter from me. I am MR EDWARD MORIRI, the son of MR. DENNIS MORIRI of Zimbabwe.I got your address from an internet web site here in South Africa. After due consideration from your profile, I became aware and assured of your credibility to help me.
My father was among the rich black farmers in Zimbabwe who were murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe, because my father was against the method adopted by the government on new land reform act that wholly affected the white farmers in Zimbabwe. Before the Invasion, my father went to South Africa, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe and deposited US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million US dollars) with a security and financial company in South Africa. Please verify the information I have given you on this website :www.zimbabwesituation.com. This money was for buying farm lands in Lesotho, Swaziland, and also machinery for the farm.
Heads of government from western world, especially Britain and The U.S.A, have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe's new land reform act. It is against this background that my family has mandated me to seek assistance to transfer this money to a foreign account for investment purposes. Presently, I am residing in South Africa as an asylum seeker.
However, I cannot invest this money here in South Africa because Zimbabwe and South Africa are close countries and have almost the same political history. And with the financial laws of South Africa, as an asylum seeker, I have no right to own or open a bank account in my name here in South Africa. From the above, you can understand that my entire life and family's future depends on this money.
I shall be grateful if you can assist me transfer this money out of South Africa into your company or personal account for investment purposes as my next of kin and my Late Dad’s business partner. Please note that this transaction is 100% risk free, and for your
effort, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total sum. Also, I have decided to use 5% of this money to settle any expenses you may incure during the process of this transfer.
The balance I intended to invest in a profitable venture in your country or anywhere you may advice.
I want you to furnish me with your entire personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact me on the above Telephone number or E-mail me.
The major thing I expect from you is absolute assurance that this money will be safe when transferred to your account. If this proposal is accepted by you, please reply urgently and get in
touch with me so that I will then furnish you with more details. I will appreciate if you maintain the confidentiality of this matter because of the happenings in my country - Zimbabwe.verify on this

Edward Moriri
