ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
PROPOSAL FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.
My name is, MR.BENJAMIN KHUMALO the eldest son of Mr. DAVID KHUMALO of
Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address. I got your address when I was doing an intensive research on the
Internet to find a reliable person who will assist our family in this
transaction.
During the current crises against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports
of president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all
farms to his party members and his followers.
My father was One of the best experience farmers in the country and because
he did not support Mugabe’s ideas, His supporters invaded my fathers farm
and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a
lots of items in my fathers farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited into one of the Security Company
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$20 MILLION (TWENTY MILLION
UNITED STATES DOLLARS). After the death of my father, we decided to move to
the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the
Security Company as valuables.
So I decided to contact overseas firms and companies that could assist me to
move this money out of South Africa because as asylum seekers we are not
allowed to operate any Bank Account within South Africa. We have agreed to
offer you 25% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out
for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction
while 70% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. All I want
you to do is to furnish me with your entire profile including phone and fax
numbers for easy communication. You can contact me on the above Telephone
and E-mail address.
Note that this transaction is 100% Risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and Best Regards,
BENJAMIN KHUMALO (MR)
(For The Family).
