URGENT FUND TRANSFER
This is to acknowledge the good report I received about your personality through a good contact I made from the Zimbabwe Chamber of Commerce. Where a long list of foreign addresses was presented to me. And my intuition told me to contact you in this regard.
Firstly, I will introduce myself to you, I am JOHNSO NNKOMO the son of Chief BENJOHNSO NNKOMO of Lupane village in Zimbabwe. Your assistance is needed in the family of Chief NNKOMO OF LUPANE village.
Last four years as the chief of Lupane village, my father sold more than twenty-five plot’s of lands to the white’s farmers companies, in our country and the money that was paid was divided into three parts by him and two parts of the money was used for development in our village Lupane and one of the remaining parts of the money is what my father gained as the chief of Lupane village. Now due to the FARMERS CRISIS in our country Zimbabwe the government is now investigating about the lands that was sold to the white’s farmers illegal and the government asked my father about the lands he sold in 1997 and he explained to the government that the lands he sold to the while farmers companies is legal and he also explained to the government how all the money was used for the development of the village.
The remaining part of money is what we need you to assist us to transfer it into your account in your country, so that we the entire family of Chief NNKOMO of Lupane village, will not loose this part of money our father gained as the chief of the village and we the entire family have decided to invest this money in your country. The sum of US$20 m (Twenty million United States Dollars). Is what we want to transfer and we are offering you 20% percent of this money just for your assistance, and 5%. for any internal and external expenses.
In conclusion, this transfer is risk free, because this money is in a safe place in our neighbouring
country. Please contact me through the above email adress or private phone number 27-73-455-9099 for more clarification in this regard and please consider this as a letter from a family in dare need of assistance.
Thanks and God bless.
My regards,
JOHNSO NNKOMO
