ATTENTION MANAGING DIRECTOR / CEO,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, the purpose of my introduction is that,I am MR.Anthony
Williams.the son of Late MR.Frank D. Williams who was recently murdered in
the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your name and contact details from the South Africa Exchange
Information On-line Service on my personal programmed search on the
internet for a reputable company or individual to
assist me sincerely & confidential which your information & profiles were
very satisfactory and on behalf of my widow mother, MRS MONICA Williams, I
decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer into your personal or
company's account, the sum of US$15 Million(Fifteen Million United States
Dollars) inherited from my late father.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit
the sum of US$ 15 Million (FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in one of
the private security company, as if he fore saw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much
demurrage from Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of
new machines and chemicalsfor the farms and established of new farm in
Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert.Mugabe introduced
a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few blacks farmers. And this resulted to the killing and mob action by
Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In
fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for
which my father was one of the victim. It is against this background that, I
and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer
my father's money to foreign account since the law of South Africa prohibits
a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any
financial transaction throughout the territorial zone South Africa.
I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account
where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government
who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government
seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the
dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going
through the same experience in future since both countries have similar
political history.Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does
not allow such investment for an asylum seeker.
As a businessman or businesswoman or ordinary citizen, who I have to entrust
my future and of my family in his hands,I must let you know that this
transaction is 100%risk free.If you accept to assist me and my family call
me on +27-723-533-313.or,: nelson1williams@yahoo.com, This money I intend to
use for investment. I have two options for you; firstly you can choose to
have certain percentage of the money for
nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership
with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
Whichever the options you want, feel free to notify me I have also mapped
out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership.
I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will be
for my investment in your country. I am looking forward to receive your
urgent reply. Thank you and God bless you as you read to assist me.
Best regard.
MR.Anthony Williams
