Dear,

May I first introduce myself, I am Mr. Jimmy Zuma, the son of Mr. Jacob Zuma, the Vice President of South Africa.

My father was removed from office last month by the President Mr. Mbeki, he was accused of mis-conducts and financial corruptions in the office. My father was arrested and still being detained here.

Due to this reason, there is some fund that my father kept in a vault here to the tune of US$110,000,000.00, and nobody is aware of this situation. He told me that I should find a way to contact any foreigner who will be willing to assist me to transfer this fund into a foreign account. It is on this note that I request that you should please help us to make this possible.

I will take care of the entire process here, but I may need that we shall arrange on the best and safe place to meet to complete this transfer into your account.

Please indicate your interest through my private email:, zuma_south@timemail.com and send me your private telephone numbers, so that we can have voice to voice discussion on the way forward.
Thanks in anticipation.
Mr. Jimmy Zuma.
