From:Mrs.Stella.F.Morgan.
18 Sunheight Randburg East
Johannesburg South Africa.
Phone:27-73 -130 8560.
Attn:Ceo/Md,
You may be surprised to recieve this letter from me since
you do not know me personally, the purpose of my
introduction is that, I am Mrs.Stella Morgan the wife of
Mr.Frank Morgan who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through American
network online ,through the consultancy directory during
my search for a reliable and honest person to transact
this business with hence decided to write you,to seek for
your co peration,assistance and understanding.
Before the death of my husband, he deposited the sum of
US$15.5M(Fifteen million five hundered Thousand United
States Dollars)in the name of our only son Benjamin Morgan
Jr,with the help of an accredited attorney in one of
the private security companies in Johanessburg South
Africa, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones and
family antiques to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of fertilizers and
new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment
of new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when
Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduce 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.
Infact, 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 of South
Africa.
As a woman, I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking
for a genuine foreign account where this money could be
lodged/ 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 investments for
political refugees.
As a foreign partner , whom I have to entrust my future
since both my future and of my family rely on this fund,I
must let you know that this transaction is risk free.If
you accept to assist me and my family all I want you to do
for me is to make arrangements and come to
Johannesburg-South Africa, so that you can open a
non-resident account which you will aid us in transferring
the money into any account which you will nominate
overseas.
This money we intended 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 us
for proper profitable investment of the money in your
country either in your area of expertriate or according to
your directives. Whichever the options you want, feel free
to notify me we have also mapped out 5% of this money for
all kinds of expenses we mighty incurred in the process of
this transaction. If you do not prefer partnership I am
willing to give you 15% of the money while the remaining
80% will be for my family's investment in your country.
Contact my son Mr. Benjamin Morgan Jr. with the above
Telephone number+27 73 130 8560 while I implore you to
maintain the absolute secrecy required in this
transaction. Best regards while hoping in recieving your
confirmention soonest for the speedy takeoff of this
project.
Upon your immediate response,I will immediately arrange
and send to you all the informations that will empower
your good self in finalizing the transaction with the
security company here in south Africa I will also send to
you the agreement that will protect both interest.And also
further information about yourself is necessary for I can
not play on this.
Waiting for your prompt and positive response.Please read
