URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PORPOSAL
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of urgency, I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS. MARIAM JONES wife of late MR.ANTHONY JONES, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irate black people.
I got your address from the Internet through the consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this business with. I write to solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe. Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to dispossess the land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of Some members of opposition party including my husband (MR.ANTHONY JONES), who did do not support this ill-fated action. his supporters invaded my husband’s farm and burnt everything in the farm and killed my husband and confiscated all his investment.
But before the death of my Husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of US$26m (Twenty six million United States Dollars) in the name of our only son 'EDWARD at a reputable security Company in SOUTH AFRICA with the intention of using it to open fertilizer-manufacturing company among other companies in our neighboring country (Swaziland) after his university education. On the 29th of July 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, EDWARD JONES, but he managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or run any huge financial business
So I decided to make contact with an overseas firm who will assist us to transfer the money out of South Africa because we are asylum seekers here in South Africa, Which deprive us not to operate an account with any bank here in South Africa neither to invest. If you consider this proposal, we have agreed to offer you the total sum of 20% for helping us transfer this money to your country, and 5% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction, while 75% will be for my family to invest in your country. You are requested to come down to South Africa for a crucial meeting and signing agreement. Of there is time, we will also commence in the transaction which will take 3 to 4 working days.
Your personal phone and fax number are needed for easy communication. You can contact me with the above e-mail address. Note: This transaction is 100% Risk free and absolute confidential..And you can also contact my son MR.EDWARD JONES on his phone number+ 27-83 402 9544 for more information.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
