E-Mail Address:morristhemba@sify.com

DEAR:SIR/MADAM
I am Morris Themba the first son of the late Mr. George.F.Themba; my father
had served
Mr.B.Higins who was an Irish citizen. My father served him for many years
and had inherited his farm after his death.
My father became an executive member ofthe farmers Association in the
western masho
naland province of Zimbabwe. He also became a successful businessman.Because
of the
recent uprising in my country and the war veterans and farmers clashing, my
father
decided that it would be safer if my younger brother and I moved to South
Africa to
escape the violence. And that the previous year he left Zimbabwe with a box
contain
ing (US$11m) Eleven million, United States Dollars, which he deposited with
a pri
vate security company in Johannesburg South Africa.
He also instructed me not to reveal the contents of the box to anyone for
security
reason. All the documents pertaining to this deposition are kept with me.
Barely two
months after we moved to Gauteng, we were told that my father's farm had
been inva
ded and that my parents and most of his workers had been killed. My father's
pro
perty and farmland have now been taken over by the war veterans. I believe
that this
has been the work of people who did not like my father because of support
for white
owned farmers. We could not even attend the funerals of my parents, as we
now fear
for our dear lives.
0ur reason for contacting you is to seek for your assistance in providing an
over
seas bank account where we can transfer this fund into prior to investment.
We do
not know much about how to invest this money so we will also need your
assistance in
this regard. We have agreed to give you a share of the money if you are
willing to
assist us. Should this proposal meet your utmost consideration, please do
not hesi
tate to contact my brother or me on the above telephone number or email
address.Or
contact us this email addresse.
thembamorris@hotmail.com
morristhemba@sify.com
The confidentiality of this proposal cannot be overemphasized as we believe
that you
will oblige us the needed security and attention it demands. Please treat
this propo
sal with the utmost confidentiality it deserves.
Waiting for your favorable response.
Thanks and God bless,
Mr.Morris Themba
