DEAR FRIEND
My names are Mr.MICHAEL DAVIDSON, the stepson of
Mr. GEORGE DAVIDSON of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise
to you where I got your contact address.
During the current crisis 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
political ideology, the president supporters invaded
my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him
and confiscated all his investments.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my
younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for
the safety of our lives. We took along with us the
money my father kept in the safe in my mother's house
which amounted to the sum of US$ 28MILLION UNITED
STATES DOLLARS to the Republic of South Africa where
we have deposited it as personal valuables in a
private security company for safekeeping.
Myself and my mother have decided to contact any
reliable overseas firm who could assist us to transfer
this money out of South Africa, because we as asylum
seeker here in South Africa cannot open a non-resident
account through which this fund will be channeled out
to your nominated overseas account.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to
transfer this money to your country, we will offer you
25% of the total fund, and 5% of the total will be
set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this
transaction. 70% will be for me and my family to
invest in your country under your assistance.
For detailed information, you can contact me on this Email
:mdavidson727@yahoo.com or by phone 27-725 110 843.
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE
CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS
100%RISK-FREE.
YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Thanks,
MR.MICHAEL DAVIDSON.
NB:PLEASE KINDLY SEND ME YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR
EASY COMMUNICATION.
