URGENT ASSISTANCE FOR THE FAMILY
Please do not be embarrassed to receive this email especially since we don’t
know each other or met in person before. I was opportune to have your
esteemed particulars from South African information exchange (S.A.I.E), in
my search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction,
which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account. My concern has
centered on how I could transfer my late father’s money amounting to US$25.5
million (Twenty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) of
South Africa for a better investment abroad. I am GABIREL BORDER GEZI, the
son of comrade Border Gezi. My father was the former Zimbabwean Minister for
youth, gender and employment creation. While alive, my father stood against
seizure of white farms and the distribution of it to the blacks without
compensation to the white owners.
Because of my father’s sincerity, he was killed by a planned motor accident
along Harare Masvingo road near Mvuma province of Zimbabwe. Before his
untimely death, my father told me some few weeks earlier that he kept one
diplomatic box with a private finance and security company in Johannesburg,
South Africa, which contains (US$25.5 Million). He warned that he only
declared the contents of the diplomatic box to the security company as a
family treasure/values, with insurance values of the said amount. He also
told me that he used my name as the beneficiary of this money being his
first child. The original documents that show the Deed of lodge, proof of
Deposit, and Depository Agreement between my late father and the Management
of the Security Company was kept with the reputable South African Lawyer.
Because of South African Financial Law, which bared asylum seeker/ refugee
like me to operate an account that exceed US$1000 and fear of the amount
involved,
I decided to write to you to seek your help for this money to be transferred
into your companies or personal bank account while all arrangement for a
hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.
Please indicate your private phone and fax numbers, which will allow an easy
flow of communication before or after sending the money into your account. I
want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free. As for your
reward for this kind assistance, my family and I are ready to offer you 20%
of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred in the
course of this transaction.
If your willing to help me, please try as much as possible to get back to me
through thIS bordergezi2005@yahoo.com and above private contact information.
Please, I do hope that this money will be save when finally transferred into
your account, I do hope of establishing a good relationship with you and
your family after this transaction.
Best regards,
GABIREL BORDER GEZI
