RE:Urgent proposal for your assistance.
I am sure you will be surprised to receive this letter,
since you do not know me personally but consider it as a
request from a family member in dire need of your
assistance. In brief introduction I am Cherry Williams
a Zimbabwean Citizen and Daughter of Mr. KENNEDY Williams.
I got your contact address from the South Africa
Information Exchange (S. A. I E.) and on behalf of my
widowed mother Mrs. Angela Williams we seek for your help.
Before my father's death last year may 2004, my
father was among the few rich Zimbabwean black farmers,
murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling
government of the incubent President of Zimbabwe Dr. ROBERT
MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the
Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white
minority. This land reform mayhem arose when President
Mugabe enforced his land reform act, the whole thing
resulted to rampant killings and mob actions by his so
called war veterans against renowned farmers, both whites
and blacks alike. Despite the world condemnation of this
form of dictatorial leadership, President Mugabe kept using
this to subdue and intimidate his political enemies.
Farmers were the target of the so called veterants, this
resulted to the death of a lot of good farmers in our
country.
Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa
to deposit some huge amount of money in a security company
for safekeeping, this fund was earmarked for the purchase
of lands farming tractors, crop growing enhancing
chemicals, fertilizers and thee establishment of new farm
lands in Lesotho and Swaziland. He did not disclose the
original content of the consignment to the security
company. He declared the consignment as Archival
Antiques as if he foresees looming danger. The old
man specifically drew my attention to his will and to the
sum of (US$ 57 Million United States Dollars) that was
deposited here in South Africa with the security company.
My father said and I quote MY BELOVED DAUGHTER, I WISH TO
DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MONEY WHICH I DEPOSITED IN
SOUTH AFRICA MAKE VERY GOOD USE OF THIS FUND FOR THE WELL
BEING OF THE ENTIRE FAMILY.
Based on this explanation, your assistance is highly
solicited to transfer this money out of here for investment
purpose, without the knowledge of my government who had
tactically frozen our wealth and the South Africa
government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced
with dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for
fear of seizure since both countries seems to be working
together we have been deliberating on how to invest this
fund in your country in a confidential manner. We have
concluded of investing in a rapidly growing business (Real
Estate) which we know is on rise all over the world. We
would like to know the possibility of this and the amount
required to start up in your country or any other venture
you could recommend to us will be welcomed. We are
presently living in South Africa as asylum seeker, certain
rights such as huge amounts or to work while in the
country. Therefore if you accept to assist us, we are
willing to offer you 20% of the total sum.
NOTE: Modalities on how the transfer will be done has been
arranged and would be conveyed to you once we have
established communication/trust with you. Your urgent and
immediate response to this email address :(cherrywilliams@email.cz) will
be
highly appreciated.
Best regards.
Cherry Williams
