Dear friend,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and greetings, and I hope this mail meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might seem to you, as we have not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I humbly ask that you take due consideration of its importance and immense benefit. I also sincerely seek your confidence, as I make this proposal to you as a person of integrity.
For introduction, I am Mr.Eric Zuma, of Zimbabwe the elder son of late Mr.Martin Zuma,of Masingo Province of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father was one of the outspoken and few rich black farmers who did not support and stridently opposed President Mugabe's ideas. Because of this, President Mugabe ordered his supporters to invade my father's farm and they burnt everything in the farm occupying and force by claiming the large acres of land that was once my father's farm, killing my father and made away with all of the items in my father's farm.
Before my father's death however, and as if he foresaw the looming dangers in Zimbabwe, he made it known to me that he has deposited with one of the Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$25.5 Million. (Twenty five Million, five hundred thousand United States Dollars) and declared its contents to the security company officials as "Precious Gems" that was meant to ship to his friend abroad. This was done for safety reasons, as the security company would not have accepted it for safe keeping had my father declared it to contain cash.
After his death we(I and my younger brother) decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security Company because his murderers are also after us.
So I decided to contact you to assist us to transfer this funds out of South Africa because as we were (Refugee) Asylum seekers we have limited right in so many areas as we are not allowed to operate any bank transaction within South Africa and as such would want you to come over here in order to assist us transfer the funds to your nominated country account.
Besides that my family and I would like you to assist us on any profitable business we can invest this found on, in your country. We have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurred in the course of this transaction and 65% will be for my family and me.
I have all the documents that was use to deposit this funds and are willing to send then to you by fax, if you are willing to assist us. Kindly furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication.
And you can contact me on the above Telephone number or send me email. The most important thing I need from your side now, before we can start the process of this transaction is that you have to give me 100% assurance and be ready to go into agreement with me that on receiving this fund into your nominated bank account, that you will sincere and not cheating over our share, If you agree to my terms then kindly as a matter of urgency send me an email immediately.
