SOLICITING FOR ASSISTANCE
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe, would be of great interest to you. I found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist me and my family.
I am MRS.MAGARETH WILLIAMS the wife of MR.KENNETH WILLIAMS (late) of
Zimbabwe.During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the
support of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in
our country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to
his party members and his followers. My husband who was one of the
bestfarmers in our country and treasury of the farmer’s co-operation did not
support his idea and so the party members invaded my husband’s farms and
burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband’s farm.
After the death of my husband, my children and I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because of our lives were in danger with the money that my husband
kept in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe in my
house is US$12.5(Twelve million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) and we
decided to code the money and move to the Republic of South Africa where we
deposited the money in a Security Company as a valuable item.
So I decided to make contact with an overseas firm whom will assist me to
move this money out of South Africa, because we are asylum seekers here in
South Africa.
So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you 20% of the
total sum for helping us to move this money out of south Africa and 5% will
be mapped out for expenses both of us may incur during this transaction and
75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. All I want is
for you to furnish me your details and your personal phone and fax
numbers and your email address for easy communication and more information.
You can contact my son JOHNSON WILLIAMS (Mr.) on the above telephone ,fax
number or e-mail address. NOTE: hat this transaction is 100% risk free and
absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards
MRS. MAGARETH WILLIAMS
