Subject: WHY I WRITE YOU

Dear
URGENT ASSISTANCE
With due respect, trust and humility I write this letter to
you seeking your help and assistance though it's difficult
since we have not met before. Base on the respect of my
instinct, I decided to write you believing that you are
capable and reliable in handling this urgent international
transaction of this sort.
I am MR.SAMUEL MOYO the son of Comrade SMITH MOYO the
Zimbabwe former Minister for Youth and Gender Equality. Who
is also a businessman and politician, in the Zimbabwe
political arena. My father was the famous politician who
stood firm against President Megabe it's idea of continuous
fight in Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also
stood against seizure of white farms and the distribution
of it to the blacks without compensation to the owners.
Because of my father's sincerity, he was killed on the 14th
April 2001 by a planned motor accident along Mashonaland in
Western Mashona province of Zimbabwe. The planners of the
accident are said to be dissidents soldiers occurred
suspected to have backing of the government and President
Mugabe.
Sir, When this accident occurred at about 10.15am Zimbabwe
time, my father did not die on the spot rather he was
rushed to Harare hospital by unknown soldiers and my father
managed to sneak a written message to us explaining his
condition concerning one diplomatic box he concealed with
one of the security company in Johannesburg (South Africa)
containing US$25M(Twenty Five Million United states
Dollars) and other vital documents which was meant for his
political campaign in the next election June 2002.
He instructed me to take my brother and younger sister and
leave Zimbabwe immediately for our safety, which we
successfully did and now we are in South Africa with the
original documents of deposit intact with us. Because of
the country existing law, which bears asylum
seekers/refugee like us to operate an account that exceed
US$2000.00 and the fear of money not raising eyebrows here
in South Africa, I decided to write to you seeking for your
help for this money to be transferred into your private
bank account as all arrangements for a hitch free transfer
have been fully taken care of. I want to assure you also
that this transaction is 100% risk free as no other person
knows this fund apart from my younger brother and I.
Sir, as for your reward and kind assistance, we have
resolved to give you 15% of the total amount.
Items of the things I want from you:
1) INVESTING MY MONEY IN A LUCRATIVE AND BLUE CHIP VENTURES
THAT YOU SHALL ADVICE IN YOUR COUNTRY
(2) GETTING AN ADMISSION FOR ME INTO A UNIVERSITY, SO THAT
I CAN START UP FROM WHERE I STOPPED MY EDUCATION IN YOUR
COUNTRY
(3)GETTING RESIDENT PERMITS AND A HOUSE FOR ME AND MY
FAMILY
(4) BANKING PART OF MY MONEY INTO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IN YOUR
COUNTRY.
We planned to invest the rest of the money in your country
under your guidance. If you are willing to help us, we then
see you as a God sent. Sir, bear in mind that our lives
depend on this FUND and we do hope this money will be safe
when finally transferred into your account. I do hope of
establishing a rewarding and good relationship with you and
your family after this transaction. Hoping to hear from you
as soon as possible.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless.
Best regards,
MR.SAMUEL MOYO
