Dear Sir
With regards and honor do please consider this proposal. I am from Zimbabwe
but currently I and my brother is in Austria .You might be worried how I got
your contact address, I got it from Chamber of Commerce and trade e-mail
directory.
Dear friend during this crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the
supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms
in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to
his party members and their followers,
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did
not support the presidents political ideology, the presidents supporters
invaded my fathers farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of
the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after four days. And after his
death, I and my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the
safety of our lives to South-Africa. From their we where able to enter into
a Ship and travel to the Austria.
But, before he died he wrote his will, which reads (MY BELOVEED DUAGHTER, I
WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ($15,500 000 .00). MILLION U.S
DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN SPAIN, and I have ask
them to transfer it to their branch in Austria and secured it. IN CASE OF MY
ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You should solicit for reliable
foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of Austria for
investment purpose.
I deposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with
the deposit code. Your mother has all the documents. Take good care of your
mother and brother."
>From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my
family depends on this money as much, I will be grateful if you can
assist us. I and my younger brother are now living in the Austria as
POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of the Austria does not allow
ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such huge amount
Of money.
In view of this, I cannot invest this money in the Austria, hence I am
asking you to assist me transfer this money out of Spain and secure it for
investment purposes.
For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 10% of the total fund, while 2%
will be set aside for local and international expenses and 88% will be kept
for me and my family.
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to
hear from you for more detailed information.
Regards.
Stella Beghart Williams.
