Subject: TEARS FROM SOUTH AFRICA PLS.
Dear friend,
Please this business proposal is strictly confidential
with due respect. Sorry at this perceived confusion or
stress as you may have receiving this letter, since we
have not known or met ourselves previously. Despite
that reason, please save me from this situation as I
hope that this letter will not constitute an
embarrassment to you.
I decided to contact you because of the urgency of my
situation here and with this, let me introduce myself.
I am Miss.Elizerbirth Hemans.(25 yrs old.), The daugther of the
Late Zimbabwe farmer and Businessman, late Mr.Yaya Hemans who died during the MUGABE disturbances with the white farmers.
I am constrained to contact you because of the
maltreatment I received from my uncles.
They planned to take away all my father's treasury and
properties away from me since the
unexpected death of my father.
Meanwhile I wanted to escape to the United States but
they conspired together and stole my international
passport and other valuable travelling documents. But
luckly for me they did not discover where I hide my
father's documents files, where important documents
are kept, so I decided to contact you confidentially.
They have even closed all my father's bank accounts
just to put me into suffery and starvation. Now i
urgently need an assistance of a reputable and
trustworthy foreigner like you to help me receive and
subsequently invest on my behalf the sum of US$
10.000.000(TEN MILLION DOLLARS), which my father
kept in a security vault in south africa before his
death.
It therefore became very necessary and urgent that
somebody in your foreign position should render a
helping hand to safe-guard this fund for me in safe
haven over there until my arrival in your country. It
is my intention to compensate you with some percentage
of the total money for your assistance while the rest
will be kept for any profitable investment
overseas as you may advice me.
Today i'am in South africa with my aged mother to claim
this money from the security company and searching for
a trusted individual or foreign firm whom can help me
to invest this money in a very profitable business in
overseas as I have all the relevant Documents backing
this money now in south africa, it will be faxed to you upon
your reqeust.
Your able assistance is as soon as this money comes in
your position, you will look for a profitable business
which we will invest this money into .However I have
contacted you based on your capability and knowledge
in international business investement.
In the light of the above, i shall appreciate an
urgent message indicating your ability and willingness
to handle this transaction sincerely. I will need your
private phone and fax numbers for easy and urgent
communications.
Awaiting your urgent and positive response. Thanking
you in advance for your understanding and
co-operation. AND you can contact me with this Email
too.
Yours Sincerely,
Elizerbirth Hemans.
