Subject: GOOD DAY
Dear Friend,
Permit me to inform you of my desire to go into business with you. I
got your name and contact on the Internet during my search for a sincere
partner. I prayed and choose your name among others due to its nature
of estimation and on recommendations given to me as someone honorable and
worthy of confidence whom I can do business with. And, by the recommendation,
I must not hesitate to confide myself to you for this simple and sincere
business.
I am (Joseph Ndayeme), the only son of the late Makalala Ndayeme. My
father was a very rich Businessman dealing on Gold and Farm equipments in
Zimbabwe, and also the exporter of gold to Europe and America from Harare,
the economic capital of Zimbabwe, my father died in hospital of heart attack.
My mother also died when I was just a baby and since then it was my father
who was taking care of me until his death. Before the death of my father,
in January 2002, in a private hospital, he secretly called me to his bedside
and told me that he had the sum of Eleven million, five hundred thousand
United States American dollars ($11,500,000.00) being in a two trunk boxes
and he deposited it in a security company in Europe. That he used my name
as the depositor, as his only son.
Then because of the political crisis that started here, that is why I
seek a foreign associate (partner) like you. I am presently in the Europe
where I am seeking political asylum for the security of my life.
Dear friend, I honorably seek your aid in the following manner:
(1) To serve as the guardian and custodian of these funds for me since
I am only 19-yrs old.
(2) To make arrangements for me to come to your country to continue my education
and for me to obtain residencial papers in your country.
Besides this,sir, I am disposed to offer you 20% of the entire sum as compensation
for your effort to have helped me after the transfer succeeded of these
funds in your account, and I will give you 5% for the other expenses which
you will incure in this business. Moreover, you can indicate your options
for helping me and I believe that this transaction could be concluded as
soon as you accept to help me. I urgently await your sure response. E-

Thanks
may God bless you,
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Ndayeme.
