URGENT ASSISTANCE FOR THE FAMILY.
Compliment of the day,With hope all is well with you and your family and
others over there.If so Glory is to almighty God.Please do not be
embarrassed to receive this mail especially since we don’t know each other
or meet in person before.I was opportune to have your esteemed particulars
from South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E.), in my search for a
reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction.which involve a
transfer of fund to a foreign account.
My concern has centred on how I could transfer my late father’s money
amounting to US$22.5M(Twenty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars) out of South Africa for a better investment abroad.I am MR Frank
Dakosi ,the son of comrade Border Dakosi.My father was the former Zimbabwean
Minister for youth,gender and Employment creation.While alive, my father
stood against seizure of white farms and the distribution of it to the
blacks without compensation to the white owners.Because of my father’s
sincerity,he was killed by a planned motor accident along Harare-Masvingo
Road near Mvuma Province of Zimbabwe.
Before his untimely death,my father told me some few weeks earlier that he
keept one diplomatic box with a private finance and Security Company in
Johannesburg South Africa.which contains(US$22.5 Million).He warned me that
he only declared the contents of the diplomatic box to the Security Company
as a family treasure/values,with insurance values of the said amount. He
also told me that he used my name as the beneficiary of this money being his
first child.The original document that shows the Deed of lodge, Proof of
Deposit, and Depository Agreement between my late father and the Management
of the Security Company was keept with the reputable South African Lawyer.
Because of South African Financial Law,which bared asylum seeker/refugee
like me to operate an account that exceed (US$1000).And fear of the amount
involved,I decided to write to you to seek your help for this money to be
transferred into your company’s or personal bank account while all
arrangement for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.Please
indicate your private phone and fax numbers, which will allow an easy flow
of communication before or after sending the money into your account.
I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free.As for
your reward for this kind assistance,my family and I are ready to offer you
30% of the total sum.while 10% will be set aside for any expenses incurred
in the course of the transaction.If you are willing to help me,please try as
soon as possible to get back to me through the above private telephone
number Please,I do hope that this money will be safe when it is finally
transferred into your account. I do hope of establishing a good relationship
with you and your family after this transaction. Please keep this
transaction secret for confidential reasons.
God bless you.
Best regards,
