BUSINESS ASSISTANCE/CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN: OWNER/CEO.
Dear Sir,
This letter is not intended to cause you any embarrassment in what ever form
rather is in good faith from a family in dear need of assistance following
knowledge of your high repute and trustworthiness, is born of the difficulty
situation that our family has been engulfed in since our father and bread
winner of our family was forced to relinquish his position.
My name is ASHI WILSON, the elder son of ASHI J. A of ZIMBABWE. I got your
contact from South Africa Trade Journal here when I in search for a reliable
company /personal that can assist us in transferring this money out of
South Africa. During the war against farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of
our president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
member and his followers, he ordered all white farmers in our country and
because we did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe supporters invaded my
father's farms and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and took
everything he had. Before his death, he had deposited with one security
company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum $21.5M.USD (Twenty One Million
Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars).
After the death of our father, we decided to move to the Republic of South
Africa where he had deposited the money in the security company as
valuables. It is in this regards that I, my mother and my two sisters
decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist us to move
this money out of South Africa because we are asylum seekers and we are not
allowed to operate any bank account within South Africa.
We have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5%
will be mapped out for all expenses made during the transaction; while the
rest will be for my family investment in your country. Please kindly contact
me with the above contact information for easy communication.
Note that this business is risk free and 100% confidential. More so, furnish
me with your private phone and fax numbers for us to reach each other when
necessary. It is up to you to decide and for more clarification call me on
my telephone +27 732 251 470 you are welcome.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
ASHI WILSON.
