Subject: CALVARY GREETINGS TO YOU!!!
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 ountry.
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- email:josephndayeme@maktoob.com
Thanks
May God bless you,
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Ndayeme.
