URGENT RESPONSE AND CONFIDENTIAL
My name is Collins Boganni the eldest son of MR Sylvester Boganni ,of
ZIMBABWE.
It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it
from the South African Information Network Online(SAINO)/South Africa Trade
Centre.And it is coming to you with good intention. During the current
crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our
President,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 with my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe
for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.
BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads "(MY BELOVED SON ,I WISH
TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($25,000,000=00). MILLION 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".
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 with my younger brother are 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,all 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 direct line + 27 -72-799-67-74 ,or on my alternative E-mail

NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY.YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
