Dear friend,
Re: The Plight of Zimbabwe Political and Economic Crisis. Please Help
I know I will not destroy your day with this mighty-be-unusual approach to you, if I do, please pardon me. My name is Mr. Max Zumbiaka Jr., the son of a Zimbabwean farmer and industrialist, Mr. Max Zumbiaka. My father was assassinated by war veterans loyal to the evil-genius President Robert Mugabe late last year, for his financial support to the opposing party, Movement for Democratic Change (MDC). To make matters worse, the government seized our farms, bank accounts and other tangible assets. Consequences to these, I and my two younger ones were left helpless orphans since our mother died 5 years ago.
After the burial of my father, I discovered a box containing a Cash Deposit Certificate my late father had with a reputable Security Firm in South Africa, which I have already confirmed. As a result of this, I made plans immediately and escaped to South Africa with my younger sister and brother, where we resided in a secluded location as asylum seekers.
Recently, I contact my late father's financial adviser who is also a political asylum here, we discussed the present situation with his South African counterpart who solicited to help us in making sure the fund is properly released and invested. He advised us to look for a foreign investor who can handle this project; I mean receiving the money with his account and properly invest it in a lucrative venture. The reason is based on our resident status.
Based on the aforesaid situations, I now solicit for your assistance by providing the basic trust and materials needed for the hitch-free execution of this transaction. The amount in question US$17,355, 000.00 (Seventeen Million, Three hundred and fifty five thousand United States dollars). If you are capable of handling this transaction, I would like you to contact me immediately on the above email address or fax, also say (precisely in %), your commission.
Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein be accorded the necessary attention, and urgency it deserves. Also feel free to ask question where necessary.
Respectfully Yours,
Mr. Max Zumbiaka
