I NEED A TRUSTWORTHY AND HONEST BUSINESS PARTNER.
Greetings
How are you today with your family and business? I hope fine. Well you may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am MR.PETER OSONGO the first son of MR. OSONGO who was the formal direct of Gold and Diamond and a farmer who owns loot of farms lands in my country. He was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. But before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$15.5Million {Fifteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars} in one of the Private Security Companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money he planed using it for the past Zimbabwean election campaign on 13th of March 2002, but very unfortunately he was murdered before the election.
This money was deposited in a box and he declared it to be official consignment belonging to his foreign affiliate. This land problem come when Zimbabwean president Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a New Land Reform Act which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to the killing by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victims. After his funeral my family and I ran out of Zimbabwe to South Africa where this money was deposited to secure our life and invest here in South Africa.
On getting to South Africa, we could not find it easy to bring the consignment out of the Security Company, they demanded for our foreign affiliate / partner information’s. Now we are experiencing a lot of difficulties here in South Africa due to our partner information we are asked by the Private Security Company to bring. The attorney who helped my late father deposit the money with Private Security Firm advised me to look for a reliable trustworthy and honest foreign partner who would assist us transfer the money out of this country for investment as my father did not give / mention any particular information for his partner, but deposited the fund with my name.
After all his advise I decided with my family to look for a foreign trustworthy and honest partner who would help me transfer my fathers money to a foreign country. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign partner. On my search I saw your contact and I decided to contact you, as maybe you would be trustworthy and honest to deal with. All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust my future and that of my family. All the necessary documents concerning this project are with my mother.
This money I intend to use it for investment growth in your country. I have two options for you. First you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for all your effort for the transfer of this fund before investment. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country if you would be honest to my family me. Which ever the option you want, feel free to notify me. If you do not prefer being a partnership I am willing to give you 15% of the money while the remaining will be for my family and me. If you are capable and willing to assist my family and me in this our situation please contact me immediately with this Private E-mail which I have sent you this massage with.
Meanwhile, I have had several meetings with the Security Firm on the possibility of shifting the consignment {fund} out of South Africa to any of their Offshore / Branch Office. They accepted, but needed my foreign partner / affiliate. Please we need your help. My mother a poor widow is always worried about these and pray for God to help us enter into a good and honest hand.
Finally, I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. Fill free to ask any question. But please treat this matter as urgent as possible. Contact me below.
I wait for your urgent reply soon.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regards,
MR PETER OSONGO.
