Dear Sir,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal,
which I believe would be of great interest to you. I found your contact
while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and
capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund
to his personal or private account and for investment purpose. I am Mrs.
Janet Scott the wife of Late Mr. Dennis Scott.
My hu was among the white that were murdered in cold blood by
the President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that
just happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my late
husband and my first son a final year medical student in my country,
we decided to move out of ZIMBABWE because our lives were in danger
because of the money that my husband kept in his hidden safe in our house. The amount
contained in the safe is US$15 Million Dollars.
This money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for
the farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. Before his
death, he was a Major Share Holder of companies in Zimbabwe. After my husband
died we moved to South Africa and deposited this money in a security
company in a box as valuables belonging to our foreign partner pending
when we see somebody that will assist us transfer this fund to his
account overseas and for the safety of our family.
We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) and as
such the law of South Africa does not permit us to operate or open any
bank account here in South Africa or be involved in any financial
transaction with the bank. That is why we contacted you to assist us in this
transaction.
We are ready to compensate you with 20% of the total fund for accepting
to assist us, contact me on the above phone indicating your interest as
soon as possible, on receiving of your acceptance, I shall be glad to
give you more clarification on the modalities needed for smooth
successful completion of this transaction.
I anticipate your quick response.
Best Regards,
Mrs. Janet Scott
(For and On behalf of my family)
