PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINNESS ASSISTANCE
Good day! My name is BENSON PETERSON the son of DENNIS PETERSON of Zimbabwe.
This might be surprise to you where I got your contact address. I found your
contact while I was doing aprivate research on the Internet for a reliable
and capable foreign partner that will assist me and my family.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of
our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, so he ordered all the white owned farmers to surrender all their
farms to his party members and his followers. And my father is one of the
best farmers in our country because he did not support his idea and his
supporters invaded my father farm and burnt everything in the farm and
killed my father and confiscated all his investment.
After the death of my father, me and my mother decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because our lives is still in danger with the money my father kept
in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is US$ 29
000.000.00 (Twenty Nine Million United States Dollars only ) and we decided
to move with the money through diplomatic means to the Republic of South
Africa where I deposited the money and we were forced to seek a political
asylum as a refugee.
So I decided to contact with the overseas firm whom will assist us to
transfer the money out of South Africa. Because we are asylum seekers here
in South Africa, which deprive us not to operate an account with any, bank
here in South Africa, Neither to invest. If you consider this proposal we
have agreed to offer you the total sum of 30% for helping us transfer this
money to your country and 10% will be mapped out for any expenses both of us
incurred during the transaction while 60% will be for my family to invest in
your country. So you are requested to fly down to South Africa for a crucial
meeting, and signing agreement. If there is time we will also commence in
the transaction, which will take 3 to 4 working days.
Now, I want you to furnish me with your personal phone and fax number for
easy communication. You can contact me with the above Telephone and Fax
number.
NOTE: this transaction is 100% risk free and absolute confidential.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
