DEAR,
I WAS CONVINCED TO WRITE TO YOU AFTER RECEIVING INFORMATION ABOUT THE

THE PAST FIVE YEARS, ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I DISCOVERED THAT THE ACCOUNT
BELONGS TO A FOREIGNER MR JOHN WILLIAMS, THE FORMER OWNER OF SAFARI FARMS
LTD MIDRAND, MR WILLIAMS AND HIS FAMILY WAS KILLED BY ARMED ROBBERS IN HIS
FARM HOUSE ON THE 5TH OF APRIL 1998 HENCE NOBODY HAVE OPERATED THE ACCOUNT
SINCE THEIR DEATH.

HAVE COME TO CLAIM THE MONEY.
THE TOTAL AMOUNT IN THE ACCOUNT IS US$24.8M(TWENTY FOUR MILLION, EIGHT
