I wish to introduce my good self as Mr Charles Marzini . The elder son of

I wa s convinced to solicit for your assistance after much prayers. I am
interested in doing business with you, particularly, in joint venture in
your country on lucrative business. During the current war against the
farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our President ROBERT MUGABE to claim
all the white and black farms in our country, so he ordered all the white
and black farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his
followers, and my father was one of the best farmers in our country, because
he did not support the his idea, his supporters invaded my father's farm and
burnt everything in the farm and killed my father and confiscated all his
investment.
After the death of my father, I decided to move out of Zimbabwe because my
life is still in danger, with the little money my father kept in his hidden
safe in my mother's house I decided to leave for South Africa because i had
knowledge of a particular deposit which my father made in my name into a
private security and finance company, since he does not have any account
with any bank due to illiteracy but was successful in farm production. The
amount contained in the metal box/container which he deposited with the
private security company is worth US$15.5(Fifteen Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) and I have decided to move with the money
with your assistance as and I am currently forced to seek a political asylum
as refugee.
I was advised by a banker who had agreed to help in the depositing and
transferring of this fund to seek for a reliable foreign partner who is
going to assist me in the opening of a non-resident account here which he
advised is the best possible way of transferring this fund because of
my political status .He said it will be more convenient pending when I get
reliable some body that will assist receive the fund in his foreign safe
account and at the same time give me light of investment based on business
idea/knowledge you may have.
However, my aim of contacting you is to help me look for a profitable
investment overseas. As a result of my present status and as a refugee I
will not be able to conclude this transaction alone. If you are interested
in helping me out, try and contact me with above e-mail address or phone
number indicating your interest to help me. I will then furnish you with
more details . I have mutually agreed to compensate you with 20% which is
your share for assistance, and 5% for any expenses that may incure in the
course of the transaction. Then the remaining 75% will be for me and my
family, which you will help us to invest in your country. Be informed that
this transaction need utmost trust and confidentiality and will only take
about 2-3 working days to be
concluded, note also that this transaction attract no risk on you side hence
all the modalities is safe, smooth successful transaction has been arranged
by me and the banker who will asisssist us in this business.
