ATTN: Sir/Madam
My name is Mr.MARTTS EDWARD, the elder son of Mr.DAVID EDWARD of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about how I got your contact address. I got your address from the South African chamber of commerce in Johannesburg.
During the current war against the rich white farmers in Zimbabwe, from the supports of our president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms to his own party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers in Zimbabwe to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father is one of the best of the best farmers in our country, and because he did not support Mugabe's idea, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farmland, killing my father and made away with all the things in my father's farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the security company in Johannesburg South Africa, the sum of $US20.5 million (TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND united states dollars). Then after the death of my father, my family decided to move to South Africa where my father had deposited the money.
So I decided to contact overseas partner that will assist me to move this money out of South Africa because as an assylum seeker in South Africa, I cannot operate any account. we have aggreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance,5% will be mapped out for expenses, and 75% for my family.
So Please, if you think you can be of any assistance to me and my family, kindly furnish me with your fax and phone numbers for easy communication.
You can contact me via my phone number, Tel:+27-.82-812-4241. Note that this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential for my family's sake.
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
