DEAR: Sir/Madam.
My name is FRANK THABO, the son of MR.COSMAN THABO of Zimbabwe. It might be
a surprise to you where I got your contact address, Don't be worried
because I am contacting you in goodfaith.During the current crisis 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 best farmers in the country and knowing that he
did not support the President political ideology, the president supporters
invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him and
confiscated all his investments. I was studying when my father died and I
was forced to return to the funeral.My mother notified me about my
father's Will. When I was going through the will,I discovered that my late
father had used his position then to make some money, which he brilliantly
transferred and deposited it with a private Security Company here in
johannesburg, Republic of South Africa.He deposited this consignment as
Family valuable Treasures. The Security Company does not know that this
consignment contains cash money except me.
The amount is Eighteen Million United States Dollars(USD 18
MILLION).However, my aim of contacting you is to help me and take this sum
into your nominated account in your country or any other part of the world.
Secondly, you will also help us to look for a profitable investment
overseas because I don't have knowledge of International investments. As a
result of my present situation, I won't be able to conclude this
transaction alone.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger sister decided
to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to the Republic of
South Africa.Because of our present status (Political Refugees), my mother
and I are seriously looking forward to having an overseas partner that
will assist us with the convenient and legal transfer of the funds out of
South Africa. If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer
this money to your country, we will offer you 20% of the total fund, and 5%
of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this
transaction. 75% will be for my family to invest in your country under your
supervision.
For detailed information, you can contact me on my direct line:
+27-83-426-5086. I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our
correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly welcomed.
Best Regards,
FRANK THABO
