Subject: REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT
FROM: MR. KYRIAN ELSWORTH
TEL: 27-83-770-0382.
REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT.
Dear Sir/Madam,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement. I am MR. KYRIAN ELSWORTH the first
son of late MR.MENTU ELSWORTH, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans
and irate black people.
I am writing from the Republic of South Africa. I got your address from the
Internet through the consultancy directory during my search for a reliable
and honest person to transact this business with. I write to solicit for
your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led
by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to dispossess the
land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of
some members of opposition party including my father ( LATE MR.MENTU
ELSWORTH), who did do not support this ill-fated action.
But before the death of my father, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$19.7m (Nineteen Million Seven Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in my name MARTIN ELSWORTH his first son with the
help of reputable security company here in South Africa with the intention
of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company among other companies
in our neighbouring country (Swaziland).
On the 29th of July, 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my father) to death.
Since then, they have been terrorizing me his first son, but I managed to
escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political asylum seeker
(refugee). But my position in South Africa does not permit me to open an
account or run any huge financial business. That is why I want this fund to
be transferred into your private or company account so that you will assist
us to invest it in your country.
Hence, if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for
your assistance, 5% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the
process of this transaction, while 75% will be for our family investment in
your country through your assistance. I need your urgent and confidential
response.
Best regards,
MR. KYRIAN ELSWORTH
(For the family)
N.B: Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to
you all the informations that will empower your good self in finalizing the
transaction with the security company here in South Africa. I will also send
to you the agreement that will protect both interests. And also further
information about you is necessary for I cannot play on this.
