Dear Alastair,
I NEED YOUR HELP PLS
I know how surprise this letter will come to you, but i would advice that
you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. I am
Mrs.stella mendu of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe.Your contact information came to
me from your country's trade journal during my search for a reliable and
God fearing person that can assist me and my only son, and I quite beleive
on my own that you can be of great help in this regard even if i am not
acquainted to you before.
The business involves the transfer of NINETEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS ONLY (US$19,500,000.00)into your account for safe
keeping. This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assasinated by
the president's (ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and
property during the crisis last year which lead to the killing and
barnishing of foreign(white) farmers. After the death of my husband on
October 22nd.2001 (A day I can never forget) I was approached by our family
lawyer who told me that my late husband had filed a document with him which
stipulates his "WILL".In the "WILL" he specifically pointed and I quote,
Darling, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Nineteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars(U.S$19.5M)which I deposited with a Security
Company in Johannesburg South Africa with all the documents filed by our
lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should
solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to transfer the money out of
there (SA)for investment purposes. I have saved this money to make the
future of my only son "john mendu" and my wife, that was immediately the
government started eyeing my business and involvements with the white
farmers. Please take good care of "john" and your self, we shall meet to
part no more.
>From the above, you will understand that my future especially the future of
my son depends on this money and as such I will be grateful if you can
assist us in transferring this fund to your account overseas for our
investments. You can contact my son "john" in South Africa on Telephone: +27
-728 370 509, And Email Is (johnmendu@hotmail.com)he will arrange with our
lawyer for the modalities of transferring this fund without any hitch.
For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 25% of the whole fund, 5%
for any expenses that may be incurred while the remaining 70% will be kept
for us under your care till our arrival in your country.God bless you for
your anticipated understanding and co-operation.
Best regards
Mrs stella mendu
