ATTN.DIRECTOR/C.E.O
(URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE) Dear.Sir/Madam.
This Letter Was First Sent To You Via Post Mail Two Months Ago,
But Up till Now, I Have Not Heard From You. Based On This,
I Decided To Reach You Through This Means.
Through, I Know For Security Reasons,
This Is Not The Safest Means To Reach You, But Was Left With No
Other Viable Option Since There Is The Pressing Need To Reach You.
I Am Quite Sure That This Mail Will Surprise You Since I Have Not Been Having Previous Correspondences With You.
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don’t know me in person, but for the purposeof introduction,
I am MR Daniel George. The Son of the late Jonathan Rossman, who was murdered in a land
disputing Zimbabwe.
The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave your contact to me in Johannesburg as a reliable and
trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to contact you.
My Father was among the few rich Black Zimbabwean
farmers who were murdered by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my Father, he took me to South Africa to deposit a sum of US$20 Million (TWENTY Million United States Dollars) with a security and
finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited as Gem/Precious Stones to avoid much demurrage from the security firm.
This money was ear marked for the purchase of machinery and chemicals for the farms and also for the
establishment of new farms in Swaziland and Lesotho.
The land problem arose when president Mugabe introduced the new land Act that wholly affects the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
condemned the ‘MODUS OPERANDI’ adopted by the Government.
This resulted in rampant killing andmob actions.
My family and I are currently staying here in South
Africa as refugees or asylum seekers and have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we
can invest it.
I am faced with a dilemma of investing this money here in South Africa with the fear of encountering the same
problems in the future because Zimbabwe and South Africa share the same political history.
Moreover, theSouth African monetary policies do not allow asylum seekers to do any investment.
I want to let you know that this business is 100% risk free.
So if you are willing to assist us, my family
and I have agreed to offer you 20% of the total money.
75% will be for us, while the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incur during this
transaction.
Therefore, if you are interested and willing to offer the needed assistance endeavor to reply through my privet
email.danielgeorge001@yahoo.com or contact me through my tell +27-72-297-8928.
I also need your private Tel/Fax numbers for easy communication.
Remember to keep this business confidential.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
MR Daniel George.
