JOHANNESBURG, South Africa.
DEAR FRIEND,
URGENT ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT.
Please do not be embarrassed to receive this mail, especially since we don’t
know each other or meet in person before. I was opportune to got your
address from the internet through the consultancy directory during my search
for a reliable and honest person to transact this business with.
My concern has centered on how I could transfer my late father’s money
amounting to the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand
United States Dollars)out of South Africa for a better investment abroad.
I am JAMES BORDER GEZI, the son of comrade Border Gezi. My father was the
former Zimbabwean Minister for youth, gender and Employment creation. While
alive, my father stood against seizure of white farms and the distribution
of it to the blacks withou compensation to the white owners.
Because of my father’s sincerity, he was killed by a planned motor accident
along Harare-Masvingo Road near Mvuma Province of Zimbabwe. Before his
untimely death, my father told me some few weeks earlier that he kept one
diplomatic box with a private finance and Security Company in
Johannesburg, South Africa which contains (US$15.4m Million). He warned that
he only declared the contents of the diplomatic box to the Security Company
as a family treasure/ values, with insurance values of the said amount.
He also told me that he used my name as the beneficiary of this money being
his first child. The original document that shows the Deed of lodge, Proof
of Deposit, and Depository Agreement between my late father and the
Management of the Security Company was kept with the
reputable South African Lawyer. Because of South African Financial Law,
which bared asylum seeker/ refugee like me to operate an account that exceed
US$1000 and fear of the amount involved, I decided to write to you to seek
your help for this money to be transferred into your company’s or personal
bank account while all arrangement for a hitch free transfer have been fully
taken care of.
Please indicate your private phone and fax numbers which will allow an easy
flow of communication before or after sending the money into your account. I
want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free. As for your
reward for this kind assistance, I and my family are ready to offer you 20%
of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred in the
course of the transaction.
If you are willing to help me, please try as soon as possible to get back to
me through the above private telephone number.
Please, I do hope that this money will be safe when finally transferred into
your account. I do hope of establishing a good relationship with you and
your family after this transaction.
Best regards,
JAMES BORDER GEZI.
