INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP

Dear ,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal,
which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his personal or private account and for investment purpose. I am Mrs. Margaret ZUMA the wife of Late Mr. Ernest Zuma, who was the "Chairman" of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe.
My husband was among the few blacks that were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that just happened in Zimbabwe. After the death of my husband, we decided to move out of ZIMBABWE because our lives were in danger because of the money that my husband kept in his hidden safe in our house. The amount contained in the safe is$7,000,000,00 (SEVEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS).
This money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. After my Husband died we moved to South Africa and deposited this money in a security company in a box as valuables belonging to our foreign partner pending when we see somebody that will assist us, for the safety of our life.
I have concluded arrangement with the board of trustee’s of the
Security Company to transfer the deposit to overseas country where it will be easily accessible to me. This frame of mind is to ensure the fund safety because of political instability in Africa in general and for hitch free redeeming/transferring of our money to a safe bank account, and the Company informed that they can only transfer such value/volume of deposit to the following continents (any where in the world) where they informed that they have affiliate office.
The idea involving you in this transaction is for you to assist me
receive this deposit as final receiver/beneficiary in any of the countries as they may inform and assist me in transferring this money to your overseas account for investment purposes outside African continent for my family and me. I have also decided to move some one from my stead to meet with you in the Country in order that both of you can successfully handle this transaction for me to fruition upon establishing trust, the code/password for release
will equally be handed over to whosoever coming from my stead to meet with you for easy claim of deposit by both of you without difficulty.
We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) We are ready to give you 30% of the total amount for the inconveniences this we cost you and for accepting to assist us. Due to the devastating nature of my Husband death, my health has since deteriorated. There by putting me in bed rest most of the time. My son in person of Mr. PETER ZUMA will be giving you all the information required if you are interested in assisting us. Do contact him on the above Email : p_zuma3@yahoo.com indicating your interest, on receiving of your acceptance; He would give you more clarification on the modalities needed for smooth successful completion of this transaction.
I anticipate your quick response.
Best regard.
Mrs. Margaret zuma
