ATTENTION DIRECTOR.
I am MRS.GRACE WILLIAMS, the wife of MR.JOHNSON WILLIAMS ,It might be a
surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from the South
African Information Network Online/South AfricaTrade 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 husband 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 husband 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 with my two children and my husband brother decided
to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa. BUT,
before my husband died he wrote his will, which reads "(MY BELOVEED WIFE,I

AFRICA for investment purpose.

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,
