PRESIDENT/CEO,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
I do foresee the surprise this mail will bring to you as
a stranger,but please do consider this letter as a request
from a family in dare need of assistance .I am Robert Kudo
the only son of late Smith Kudo of Zimbabwe ,presently
residing in Johannesburg ,South Africa. I got your contact
from the South Africa Chamber of commerce and Industry, and
I on behalf of my widowed mother Mrs blessing Kudo decided
to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of
US$22.5 millionin herited from my late father into your
personal or company for investment and security reason.
My father was killed during the current war against
farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our present
President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms
to his party members and his followers .He order! ed all
white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party
members and followers . My father is one of best farmers in
our country although he is a black man but he didn't
support Mugabe's ideas ,Mugabe's supporters therefore
invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in
the farm ,killed my father and made away with a lots of
items in my father's farm.
Before my father's death, he had deposited with one of the security and finance
company here in Johannesgurg, South Africa the sum of US$22.5 MILLION
(TWENTY-TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UITED STATE
DOLLARS ).After the death of my father we decided to move
to the republic of South Africa where he had deposited the
money in the security company as valuables .
So we decided to contact Individauls / companies that
will assist me to move this money out of South Africa
,because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate
any bank account within South Africa we have ageed to offer
you 20% of the total sum for your assistance ,10% will be
mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the
course of this transaction ,and 70% will be for me and my
family to invest in your country.
From the above you will understand that the lives and future of my family depend on
this money ,as such i will be very happy if you can assist
us ,and all i want you to do is to furnish me with your
entire telephone and fax numbers for easy communication.you
can contact me on the above e-mail address or alternate
email address robertkudo001@yahoo.co.uk[ +27-83-341-3608]
