ATTENTION: The President / ceo,
How are you today? I know you may be surprised to receive this letter. But since you don't know me in person for the purpose of introduction,
I am MR.PETER WILLIAMS, the son of late MR. DAMBA K.WILLIAMS, I got your contact through the South African Business Manual in my search for
a trusted partner to do business with and I assure you that nobody knows about this transaction. Before the death of my father,he took me to
Johannesburg City to deposit the sum of US$12.5 Million (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in a private
Security /Finance Company, when He foresees the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
My late father was one of the best farmers in our country. The land disputes started when our President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land
Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, for the purpose of acquiring all the white-owned farms to his
party members and followers. He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and followers, this resulted to many
killings by Zimbabwe war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, my father was one of his victims, because he was totally against
PRESIDENT MUGABE'S ideas. It is on this background that I am currently staying in South Africa as refugee, has decided to transfer my fathers
inherited money to a foreign country,since the laws of South Africa prohibits refugees have a bank account or to be involved in any financial
transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa.
Please, I need your assistance to transfer this fund to your trusted bank account. For your assistance, I have agreed to give you 25% of the total sum,
while 5% is mapped out to re-imburse every expenses that would be incurred in the cause of actualizing this transaction and 70% will be for my family
business investments in your country.
*NOTE: This transaction is 100% risk-free, as I have made every necessary arrangements for a successful deal.The ONLY thing I solicit from you is
total cooperation, complete trust and assurance that my share will be safe when transferred to your bank account. Do, keep this business proposal
strictly confidential for security reasons. If you are interested to assist me.
