JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Cosman,
Good day! My name is MRS. BLESSING MPOYO the wife of MAYOR FRANK MPOYO of
Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you where I got your address. I got
your address from the South African Chamber of Commerce in Johannesburg.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farmsin our
country.
all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party
members and his followers. My husband who was one of the best farmers in the
country and treasury of the farmer's co-operation didnot support his idea
and so the party members invaded my usband's farm and burnt everything in
the farm,killed my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband's
farm. After the death of my husband, I and my children decided to move out
of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger with the money that my husband
kept in his hiddensafe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is
US$22.5M(Twenty Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand United states Dollars)
and we decided to code the money and move to the Republic of South Africa
where we deposited the money in a Security Company as a valuable item.
So I decided to make contact with an overseas firm whom will assist me to
move this money out of South Africa, because we are asylum seekers here in
South Africa. So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you
30% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out to your country
and 10% will be mapped out for expenses both of us may incur during this
transaction and 60% will be forme and family to invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to make immediate arrangements to come to South
Africa to open a non resident account in your name where this Money is going
to be deposited first before its onward transfer to your Country?s account
and also your personal phone and fax numbers for Easy communication. You can
contact my son ZUMA MPOYO on this Telephone number +27-73-44-171-82, to
indicate your willingness to help us in this transaction. Please,always
contact my son, because, I Spends most time at the hospital.
Best regards,
BLESSING MPOYO (MRS)
(For the family)
