Dear FRIEND,
With all due respect sir/madam. My name is MR.FRANK ZUMA, the eldest son of
MR JOHNSON ZUMA.of ZIMBABWE. It might be a surprise to you where I got your
contact address, I got it from the South African Information Network Online (SAINO)
South Africa Trade 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 father 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 father’s 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 younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our
lives to South-Africa which is a neighbouring country. BUT, before he died HE
WROTE HIS WILL, which reads"(MY BELOVED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE
SUM OF($20,000,000=00).TWENTY MILLION U.S 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 foreign partner to assist
you to transfer this money out of SOUTH AFRICA for investment purpose. I deposited
the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with the deposit code.
your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your mother and brother."
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends
on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. I with my
younger brother 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, I cannot invest this money in
South-Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of
South-Africa for investment purposes.
For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you
20% of the total fund,5% for charity, while 5% will be set aside for local and
international expenses and 70% will be kept for me and my family . Finally
modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we
establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to your urgent
reply .For detailed information, please contact me on my e-mail address
