ATTN;DIRECTOR/C.E.O
Dear Sir,
REF: URGENT REQUEST
My name is PETER MPOYO (Jnr) the elder son of JOSEPH MPOYO, of the republic of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you as to how I obtained your contacts. I obtained your contact from the chamber of commerce and trade of South Africa in Johannesburg.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, supported by President, Robert Mugabe in his effort to expel the white farmers of the country. He has ordered the white farmers to give their farms to his members of the party and his followers.
My father was one of the most successful farmers in our country, and had been the Minister of Finance in Robert Mugabe’s administration, but he did not like the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. For this, his farm was invaded and was burned by the supporters of the government.
In the course of the assault, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with many articles of the farm of my father. Our family house was totally destroyed. Before the death of my father, he called me to the attention of the sum of US$35.2 Million United States Dollars, which he had deposited with a Security Company here in South Africa, during his tenure as minister of finance.
I decided to get in touch with your company, so that you will help me in the transfer of this money from South Africa. This has become necessary after I have been denied any right to own Bank account or any other form of financial transaction here, for I am a political asylum seeker here in South Africa.
We (my sister and I) proposed that you should receive 25% of the entire amount for your help in the transfer of the fund, then 70% of this money shall go to us (my sister and I), 5% remaining will be used to cover any cost or expenses incurred by the both parties in the process of this transaction.
Would you immediately confirm your interest in this transaction through my phone number 27-837-465-116, then I will give you more details as to how we shall conclude this transaction. Incase you may have no interest in this transaction; I kindly request your utmost confidentiality and secrecy in this matter for security reasons.
Thank you for your co-operation.
Best regards,
PETER MPOYO (JNR).
