Avenue MARSHALTOWN,

Dear Sir,
My name is Mr. Victor Papiez, the elder son of Mr. Eric Papiez of Zimbabwe.
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address or
information.
I got your address from the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry
in Johannesburg here in South Africa. During the Remote and current wars
against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of our President Robert
Mug be to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his
followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his
party members and
his followers. My late father was one of the best and riches farmers in my
country and because he did not support Mugabe's dictatorial ideas, Mugabe's
supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm,
killing my father and his workers and made away with a lot of items in my
father's farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the Security Company
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$42 million (Forty-two Million
United States Dollars) with my name as the next of kin. After the death of
my father, I decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he (my
father) had deposited the money in the Security Company as a box containing
Diplomatic
Valuables for security reasons.
According to the instructions of my late, I wish to contact you as an
overseas/foreign business partner or beneficiary to the fund to assist me
move or transfer this money out of South Africa. According to the directions
of my late daddy, on my arrival in SOUTH AFRICA I obtained refugee permit
for security reasons. As an asylum seeker, I am not allowed to operate or
run any form of
bank account within South Africa because the refugee laws here does not
permit asylum seekers certain financial rights such as running any form of
account and that is the more reason why I need a foreign assistance who is
willing and capable of flying down to SOUTH AFRICA to open a
non-resident/dollar investment account where the total sum will be deposited
before onward transfer to the person's account overseas. If you are willing
and capable of caring out the transaction.
We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% has
also been mapped out for any expenses that might be incurred in the course
of this transaction and 75% will be for me and my family's investments in
your country. All I want from you is sincerity and to furnish me with your
personal phone and fax numbers for easier and faster communication.
(Note) This transaction is 100% risk-free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless.
Best Regards,
Victor Papiez.
