DEAR SIR
My name is MRS ROSE ZYL, the wife of ANDLOVU ZYL of Zimbabwe. It might be
a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I got it from net work
on line South African . 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 husband was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he
did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s
supporters invaded my husband’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as
a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days.
And after his death, I and my children 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 BELOVEED WIFE ,I
WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($21,000,000).TWENTY ONE 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.

the deposit code. Take good care of the children." From the above, you

as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us.
