Subject: IN NEED OF YOUR ASSISTANCE
FROM :JAMES MOYO
42 BICCARD STR BRAAMFONTEIN
JOHANNESBURG.
SOUTH AFRICA'S
IN NEED OF YOUR ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam
Please With due respect, trust and humility I write this letter to you
seeking your help and assistance though it’s difficult since we have not met
before. I got your good contact from the South African Information Exchange
(SAIE) regarding your business profile and sincerity, I believe that you are
capable and reliable in handling this urgent international transaction of
this sort.
I am JAMES MOYO, the son of comrade JOHN MOYO the Zimbabwean former
Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a businessman and
politician, in the Zimbabwean political arena. My father was the famous
politician who stood firm against President Mugabe’s idea of continuos fight
in Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also stood against seizure of
white farms and distribution of it to the blacks without compensation to the
owners.
Because of my father’s sincerity he was killed on the 14th April 2001 by a
planned motor accident along Mashonaland in Western Mashona province of
Zimbabwe, the planners of the accident are said to be dissidents soldiers
occurred suspected to have the backing of the
government and President Mugabe. Sir/Madam, when this accident occurred at
about 10:15 Zimbabwean time my father did not die on the spot rather he was
rushed to Harare hospital by unknown soldiers and my father managed to sneak
a written message to us, explaining
his condition concerning one diplomatic box he concealed under the roof of
his private bedroom
containing US$14M (Fourteen Million United State Dollars).
He instructed me to take my brother and younger sister with the box and
leave Zimbabwe immediately for our safety, which we successfully did and now
we are in South Africa with the money deposited in a security company with
the original documents of deposit intact.
Because of the country existing law, which bears asylum seekers / refugee
like us to operate an
account that exceed US$2000.00 and the fear of money not raising eyebrows
here in South Africa, I decided to write to you and seek for your help for
this money to be transferred into your private bank account as all
arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of.
I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free as no
other person knows this box apart from my younger brother and I. Sir/Madam,
as for your reward kind assistance. we have resolved to give you 25% of the
total amount, 5% for any expenses that might be orcurred in the course of
this transaction. We planned to invest the rest of the money in your country
under your guidance. If you are willing to help us try as much as possible
to reach me with the above numbers to enable us proceed in earnest towards
the concluding of this transaction.
Sir/Madam, bear in mind that our lives depend on this fund and we do hope
that this money will be safe when finally transferred into your account. I
do hope of establishing a rewarding and good relationship with you and your
family after this transaction. Hoping to hear from you as soon possible.
Thanks for your co-operation and God bless you.
Best regards,
MR. JAMES MOYO
