Subject: please Contact Brother Harry Williams
Dear Sir\Madam,
My name is Bro. Harry williams, a legal praticioner here in johannesburg. last week
sunday, a woman visited our church service and after prayers, she approached me and
narrated her life story. Her name is Mrs. Amanda. A. Nkosi and she is a member of
womex in Zimbabwe.
Her husband was a big farmer and victim of the crises in Zimbabwe which was as a
result of a new land act reform introduced by President Robert Mugabe. As the
manager of her husband farms, she keeps all important documents for her husband.
Among the documents is a file containing documents her late husband used to deposit
fund with a security and finance company here in South Africa.
According to her, this money was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms and establishments of a new farm in Swaziland. After
narrating this story, I asked her to see me the following day with the proof of
deposit of the above fund. When I saw the document and the amount involved was $10
Million USA Dollars (Ten million united states dollars only). Because of my position
and what is happening in the world today, I took her to the security and finance
company for verifications and we confirmed everything as genuine and original. This
woman is a refugee here and the financial law of South Africa do not allowed
refugees to operate bank accounts or involved in any financial transactions in South
Africa.
Also this fund is in dollars and must require a foreigner for the claims. I am
writing this letter to entrust the life / future of this woman and her family to you
believing that you will not betray the trust and confidence I may have in you. All I
am asking is your assistance to claim and transfer this fund to your bank account in
your country or your overseasnominated bank account keeping this fund in your
custody for this woman and her family to join you for a proper investment under your
supervision. The woman has agreed on two options of compensation for your
assistance.
Firstly you can choose to have a certain percentage of the money or go into
partnership with her for a proper profitable investment of the money in your
country. If you do not prefer a partnership, she is willing to give you 30% of the
total fund. If you are willing to assist this woman, please contact me immediately
on my e-mail address above.
Best Regards,
Bro.Harry Williams
