URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir
Goodday? My name is PAUL THAMBE, I am the eldest Son of (LATE) Mr.CHRIS
THAMBE,of ZIMBABWE. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact
address, I found your contact from the chambers of commerce here in South
Africa.for a reliable and capable foreign partnership who will assist I and
my family.(SAINO)South Africa Trade Centre. And it is coming to you with
good intention. During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by
the supporters of our President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned
farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their
farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the great and best farmers in the country and knowing
that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s
supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a
result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after five days. And
after his death, I and my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe
for the safety of our lives to South-Africa. but, before My father died HE
WROTE HIS WILL, which reads
(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF
($20.5,000,000=00). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A
SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON
EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You should solicit for a reliable foreign
partner to assist Me to transfer this money out of South Africa for
investment purpose.
I eposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with
the deposit code. your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your
mother and brother." From the above, you will understand that the lives and
future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful
if you can assist us. I with my younger brother are now living in
South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of
SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such
huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in
South-Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of
South-Africa for investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to
offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and
international expenses and 75% will be kept Us. Finally modalities on how
the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust
and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to your urgent reply.
