ATTN:Sir,
My name is Mrs.Monica Rossman, the wife of late Mr.Frank Rossman, of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address I
got it from the net.
I am using this opportunity to express my predicaments to you 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 best farmers in the
country and knowing that he did not support the president's political
ideology, the president's supporters invaded my husband'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 I became a widow over night
with my only
son(John) and one daughter(Vivian)we decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the
safety of our lives to South Africa.
Before he died, he wrote his 'WILL' which reads: 'MY BELOVED SON (John) I
WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF US$25 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 the family care and investment purposes I deposited the
money in your name(John Rossman)and it can be claimed by you with the help
of a foreign partner using the deposit code.Your mother has all the
documents.Take good care of your mother
and your sister.
From the above you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depends on this money as much as I will be 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 do not allow an ASYLUM SEEKER any
Financial right to operate such huge amount of money .In View of this I
cannot invest this money in South-Africa hence I am asking you to assist us
