Dear Sir/Madam,
It is with due respect, trust and humility that i write you this proposal, which I believe will be a great interest to you i found your contact while I was doing a private research on the internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I.this is the most reason why I contacted you.
I am Prince Simon Wilfred the son of Dr. James Wilfred of Zimbabwe. During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of our president ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country, all the white and black farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father who was one of the best farmers in our country and treasurer of the farmers co-operation did not support his idea and so the party members invaded my fathers farms and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my fathers farm. After the death of my father I, my mother and younger sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives was in danger with the DOCUMENTS of a fund which my father deposited in one of the security company in SOUTH AFRICA. The amount stated in the document is US$27.5M (TWENTY SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS)since our arrival to SOUTH AFRICA we have gone to the SECURITY COMPANY and meet with them. but now in terms to invest the
money here, we cannot do so due to the policy and law of this country so with the advice from our family attorney I decided to make a contact with an overseas firm who will assist me and my family to move this money out of South Africa, because we are asylum seekers here in South Africa,
and cannot continue to suffer when we have such amount of money in the security company.
So, if you consider this proposal, my family and I have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out to your country and 5% will be mapped out for expenses both of us may incurred during this transaction and 70% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. All I want is for you to furnish me with all your banking details and your personal phone and fax number for easy communication. You can contact me on the above and below telephone number and E-mail address.
Note: This transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential Then, if you are interested to help me and my family please contact me with this E-mail [pswilfred450@yahoo.com] and phone number +27 83 356 6265.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards,
PRINCE SIMON WILFRED
For the family.
