Subject: PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY
FROM GEORGE MOROKA
CITY OF JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA
PHONE:+27 83-868-1661
Dear
My name is GEORGE MOROKA, the eldest son of MR JOHN MOROKA, of ZIMBABWE. It
might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, i got it on the
internet here in South Africa when i was making an intensive research for my
investment in your country then i decided to contact you directly.
During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters
of ourPresident,
ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered
all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and
their followers. My father was one of the great and best farmers in the
country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political
ideology, the president’s supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down
everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick
and died after five days. And after his death, I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe for the safety of my life to South-Africa. BUT, before he died.
HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR
ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF USD$25.5MILLION {TWENTY FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS} WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN
JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH
ONLY".
This money was deposited in a box as a germ stone to avoid much demurrage in
the Security Company. You should solicit for reliable foreign partner to
assist you to transfer this money out of SOUTH AFRICA for investment
purpose.
I deposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with
the deposit code. your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your
mother and brother."
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family
depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us.
I am now living in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the
financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain
financial rights to such huge amount of money .In view of this, I cannot
invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me
transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your
efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be
set aside for local and international expenses and 75% will be kept for me
and my family .
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to
your urgent reply .For detailed information, please contact me on my e-mail
address or preferably via phone + 27 83-868-1661
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE
HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
All the best,
GEORGE MOROKA
(FOR THE FAMILY)
