Subject: GOOD NEWS.
CONFIDENTIAL PLEASE"
FROM: MR. Mark Philipson,
Dear Sir,
I do understand the concern this letter will bring to you for the fact that
it comes from someone strange to you. But be rest assured for it come with
good intentions. How ever, I got your address through Netherlands chamber
of commerce and industry as I was going on research, looking for responsible
and trustworthy someone who can help and assist me in this business/transfering
some fund out from Zimbabwe into his/her personal or company account overseas.
I am Mr.Mark Philipson, the Son of late Mr Sipho Philipson, from
Zimbabwe. My father was among the rich black farmers murdered in cold blooded
in Zimbabwe by war veterans of President ROBERT MUGABE. However, the number
of farmers killed in Zimbabwe over the new land act introduced by president
do not give any concern. My main aim of contacting you is to assist me in
transfering the sum of US$30,500,000 (Thirty million Five hundred thousand
dollars United States Dollars) into your nominated oversea account.
This money was given to my father by President Mugabe when they were still
in good terms for investment purposes. My father deposited this money in
a security company in Johannesburg here in South Africa as if he forsaw
the looming blow of his death. My father later deposited the said funds as
family treasure in order to avoid seizure since Zimbabwe, have almost the
same land laws with South Africa Presently, I am residing in Netherlands
with the rest of my family as asylum seekers in Netherlands. Based on our
present status we are deprived of some financial rights of banking activities.
Moreover, this money is the only thing my late father left
for us as such the entire life of my family depends on this money coupled
with the responsibilities rested on me, I will be willing to go into partnership
on any lucrative business you will suggest in your country.
The sharing pattern is negotiable between me and you. I will like you to
contact me via e-mail (macphil2005@yahoo.com) for strict confidential reason,
in case my proposals arouse your interest or if not, please do keep it confidential.
I hope to hear from you as soon as possible.
Best regards,
MR. Mark Philipson,
