Subject: FOR YOUR ATTENTION
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Moses Moyo the son of Mr. Thomas Moyo of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address but I got your contact address from the International Chambers of Commerce and Industry.
During the last crises against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim the farms in our country, he ordered all the farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers. My father was one of the good farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the Presidents political ideology, the Presidents supporters invaded my father's farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. To our greatest surprise my father�s younger brother (My Uncle) was among the person that
killed my father, he said that he wanted to inherit my dad's property because he known some of his business ventures of my father.
After the death of my father, my mother and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe for Republic of South Africa for the safety of our lives, because my uncle threatened to kill my mother and I so he can succeed in his plans. My father's lawyer called my mother and told her that my father have a large some of money in his account in the Republic of South Africa, after proper conversation with the lawyer who is now dead, he handed over the documents to my mother and told her that the money amounted to the sum of US$ 7.5 Million and was deposited in a private security and finance house for safe keeping in the Republic of South Africa where we now seek political asylum, I have decided to contact any reliable overseas firm or persons who
could assist us to claim this money out from the financial house because we as asylum seeker here in South Africa we are not allowed certain financial rights like operating a bank account.
We need you to open a non-resident account through which this fund will be channeled out to your nominated overseas account. If my preposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 40% of the total fund and 50% for me and my family while 10% will be kept for expenses (if any). My family and I will like to invest in your country under your guidance and assistance. Your urgent response to my personal box will be highly appreciated (mosesmoyo90@yahoo.com) anxiously waiting for you reply.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Moses Moyo
For the family.
