Greetings,
My names is Mr Steve Zundi, the elder son of Mr. Andrew Smith Zundi, of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address
from,I got it from the South Africa Information Network Online(SAINL)/South
Africa Trade Center (SATC).
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 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 two days.And after his death, My mother and I with my younger
Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to
South-Africa.
BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL ,which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH
TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF $18.5 MILLION U.S DOLLARS (EIGHTEEN
MILLION FIVE HUNDERED THOUSAND UNITED STATES 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 reliable

very grateful if you can assist us.We 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 .

asking you to assist us transfer this money out of South-Africa for
investment pusposes. 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
