Subject: PLEASE GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Jacob Zuma the impeached Deputy president of The Republic Of South Africa facing trial and charges
of Fraud and corruption, please visit this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/4092064.stm or http://author.voan
ews.com/english/2005-06-20-voa28.cfm or http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4483319.stm for my current situation
First of all I want you to believe that this is not a scam mail. Am in a very
bad condition here in this country, and no assistance neither help from fellow
South Africans, instead they find a way to know what is left to declare so that my
Bank Account will be frozen, after they've succeeded to impeached me and in frozen about $4.5
Billion dollars of mine and the south african security angency and the Scorpion are monitoring all
my movement, all my travelling passport has been seized by the government
This is the reason why am looking for an assistance from anybody outside the
country. I now decided to go through this means of communication, so I can
reach all the well wishers of the Zuma's family. There is an account worth of
$22 million united states dollars with a local bank here in south africa, which i want to transfer
out from my country to a foreign Account before the government will confiscate and frozen the account
this is my only hope for my family which I can call the only Reserve left for my children and the entire family member.
But due to the situation of things here in my country I can't operate the
account directly. Am now using the media to find any almighty God sent, that
could rescue and assist me from perish, just to put the person through,
how is to go about the fund. After the transaction has been accomplished 20%
will be for the person involve, 10% for miscellaneous expenses and the
remaining 70% for the me and investment in your country. Please if you feel interested, I crave
your indulgence to please contact me through this my email address. As I have
said earlier, I want you know that this present situation now and not take this
as a scam mail, all I need is your help and support for the Jacob's family not
to perish.
On receipt of your mail i will give you the contact details of my personal attorney who will
execute this transaction with you.
Best regards and God bless you and your entire family as I await your quick
respond.
Kind regards.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Jacob Zuma
