GOOD DAY
My name is MR FRANK KHUMALO ,the elder son of Mr THAMBA KHUMALO of
Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact
address or information. I got your address from the South African Chamber of
Commerce And Industry in Johannesburg here in South Africa. During the
Remote and current wars against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of
our 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
their farms to his party members and his followers.My late father was one of
the best AND riches farmers in my country and because he did not support
Mugabe's dictatorial ideas,Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and his workers and made
away with alot of items in my father's farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the Security Company
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$32 million (thirty-two Million
United States Dollars)with my name as the next of kin. After the death of my
father, I decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he(my
father) had deposited the money in the Security Company as a box containing
Diplomatic valuables for security reasons. According to the intructions of
my late ,I wish to contact you as an overseas/foreign business partner or
beneficiary to the fund to assist me move or transfer this money out of
South Africa. According to the directions of my late daddy,on my arrival in
SOUTH AFRICA I obtained refugee permit for security reasons.
As an asylum seeker, I am not allowed to operate or run any form of bank
account within South Africa because the refugee laws here does not permit
asylun seekers certain financial rights such as runingany form of account
and that is the more reason why I need a foreign assistance who is willing
and capable of flying down to SOUTH AFRICA to open a non-resident/dollar
investment account where the total sum will be deposited before onward
transfer to the person's account overseas.If you
are willing and capable of carring out the transaction, We have agreed to
offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% has also been mapped
out for any expenses that might be incurred in the course of this
transaction and 75% will be for me and my family's investments in your
country.All I want from you is sincerity and to furnish me with your entire
personal phone and fax numbers for easier and faster communication.You can
contact me on the above email address. (Note) this transaction is 100%
risk-free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless
Best Regards,
MR FRANK KHUMALO
