Subject: CAREFULLY READ THROUGH THIS
FROM: MR. DAVID CHITI.
No: 121 COMMISSIONER STREET ,
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO.
Good day! My name is DAVID CHITI, the elderly Son of Mayor DAVID CHITI snr of Zimbabwe.
This might be a surprise to you on where I got your address, I got your contacts
through search on line from the South African Chamber of commerce here in Johannesburg,
so I decided to contact you for a business Assistance.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of our President
Robert Mugabe to claim all white owned farms in my country, all the white farmers
were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers. My father
then was one of the richest black farmer in my country and the treasurer of
the farmer's co-operation of which he was against all his ideas and so the party
members invaded our farm kill my father and made away with a lot of our properties
and some of my father’s Bank accounts were frozen.
After the death of my father, I was notified that my father deposited the sum of
$16,500,000.00 (Sixteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with
the Security Company here in South Africa (Johannesburg) for safe keeping as family
valuables, and for the future of our family and these funds were deposited in my name
(DAVID CHITI jnr),as the beneficiary of this consignment. I thus decided to move down to
the Republic of South Africa because my live was in danger.
So I decided to contact you as an overseas firm or partner who will assist me to
move these funds out of South Africa, because I am an asylum seeker here in
South Africa, so if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to offer you 25% of
the total sum for your assistance and also 5% has been mapped out for expenses
that will be incurred both locally and internationally, in the process of this
transaction, and 70 % of the total sum will be for my family, for investment purpose
in your country, which you will help us to arrange at the end of the transaction.
You should also bear in mind that, the Security Company does not have any idea of
the true contents of the consignment lodged in their custody since it was declared
as Family valuables not available cash in order to avoid high storage charges and
also my safety.
I would like you to furnish me with all your full particulars and your personal phone
and fax numbers if you are truly interested, for easy communication and for the
confidentiality of this transaction. Kindly, contact me on my any of the following email addresses:
canaannet1@yahoo.com, canaannet2@yahoo.com
Thanks and God Bless You.
Yours faithfully,
MR. DAVID CHITI (FOR THE FAMILY)
