Subject: CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM MR PAUL ROSSMAN
PHONE:+27 83 36 00 597

ATTN:SIR/MADAM,
CONFIDENTIAL
I am Mr. PAUL ROSSMAN the first son of the late Mr.Raymond Themba Rossman.
My father had served Mr B.H. Lions who was an Irish citizen. my father
served him for many years and had inherited his farm after his death.
My father became an executive member of the farmers Association in the
western mashonaland province of Zimbabwe. he also became a successful
businessman because of the recent uprising in my country and the war
veterans and farmers clashing,my father decided that it would be safer if my
younger brother and I move to south Africa to escape the violence. And that
the previous year he left Zimbabwe with a box containing US$24million which
he deposited with a private security company in Johannesburg.
He also instructed me not to reveal the contents of the box to anyone for
security reason.
All the documents pertaining to this deposition are kept with me.Barely two
months after we moved to johannesburg,we got told that my father's farm had
been invaded and that my parent and most of his workers had been killed.my
father's property and farmland have now been take over by the war veterans.
I believe that this has been the work of people who did not like my father
because of white owned farms. we could not even attend the funerals of my
parents as we also now fear for our dear lives.
0ur reason for contacting you is to seek for your assistance in providing an
overseas bank account where we can transfer this fund into for prior
investment.We do not know much about how to invest this money so we will

of the money if you are willing to assit us.should this proposal meet your

the above telephone number or the email address.
The confidentiality of this proposal cannot be overemphasized as we believe
that you will oblige us the needed security and attention it demands.Please
