Subject: Help?
Dear friend,
I am wife of sacked deputy President of South Africa Jacob Zuma. It is
out of desperation I am sending you this email. My husband and I need your
help to front for us as owners of funds that are his, which might come under
investigation if the funds ownership is not changed soonest.
As my husband's finances are increasingly becoming the source of
investigation by our detractors. The source of this funds which my
husband's earnings would not validate will further sink him into the
cesspool dug by our enemies. It is because of the dire situation we
find ourselves that we resolve to reach you and
ask for your assistance in this matter.
It is only customary in Africa when one occupies such high position
like my husband did, to enjoy the privilege of being presented with
gratifications sometimes through the award of contracts. Especially
by companies that came into operation during his tenure. But due to
the recent plot by our detractors towards my husband, hence we immediately
wish to move some funds away that his income cannot account for and which
came in form of gratification while he was in office.
We are averse to letting those we know here into this transaction
because we are no longer sure who our friends are. You will be handsomely
rewarded
if you choose to help us in partnership in this deal. If you are willing
to assist us, please do reply me through this e-mail address
I will be expecting to hear from you as soon as possible, and will
disclose further details to you upon your response. Thanks for your time and
please do well not to disclose the content of this mail to anyone.

Mrs. Margaret Zuma
