Subject: PEACEFUL AGREEMENT
My name is Dr Daniel AWa, the dentist in Jomo Med. Hospital
Pretoria. I am a SHEIGH. Four days ago, a woman visited the musk and
after prayers, she approached me and narrated her life story. Her
name is Mrs. Zanele .M. Kadiri and she is a member of WOMEX in
Zimbabwe.
Her husband was a big farmer and victim of the crises in Zimbabwe
which was as a result of a new land act reform introduced by
President Robert Mugabe. As the manager of her husband farms, she
keeps all important documents for her husband. Among the documents is
a file containing documents her late husband used to deposit fund
with a security and finance company here in South Africa. According
to her, this money was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms and establishments of a new farm in
Swaziland.
After narrating this story, I asked her to see me the following day
with the file containing fund depositing documents. When I saw the
document and the amount involved USD28.2M (Twenty eight million two
hundred thousand dollars). Because of my position and what is
happening in the world today, I and my attorney took her to the
security and finance company for verifications and we confirmed
everything as genuine and original.
This woman is a refugee here in South Africa and refugees are not
allowed to open bank accounts or involved in any financial
transactions in South Africa. Also this fund is in dollars and must
require a foreigner for the claims.
I am writing this letter to entrust the life / future of this woman
and her family to you believing that you will not betray the trust
and confidence I may have in you. All I am asking is your assistance
to claim and transfer this fund to your bank account in your country
or your overseas nominated bank account keeping this fund in your
custody for this woman and her family to join you for a proper
investment under your supervision.
The woman has agreed on two options of compensation for your
assistance. Firstly you can choose to have a certain percentage of
the money or go into partnership with her for a proper profitable
investment of the money in your country. If you do not prefer a
partnership, she is willing to give you 25% of the total fund. She
has also mapped out 5% of the total fund for all kinds of expenses
that might be incurred in the process of the transaction.
If you are willing to assist this woman, please contact me
immediately on my direct telephone number +27-83-437-2834 or
e-mail address above.
Best Regards,
Dr Daniel Awa
