ATTN: SIR/MADAM, URGENT PLEASE PROPOSAL/ FUND TRANSFER & INVESTMENT
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. My name is MRS.ROSEMARY MOYO, the WIFE of late DR.PETER MAYO, who was murdered with my dauther(SUSAN MOYO)in a land dispute in Zimbabwe my country.
I got your contact ,through the chamber of commerce here in Johannesburg, South Africa. And I decided to write and seek for your help in the problem I have with my family. During the Crisis against the farmers of the Zimbabwe by supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My husband was one of the best farmers in my country and knowing that he did not support the president's political ideology, the president supporters invaded my husband's farm burnt down everything, killed my husband with my dauther,and confiscated all my husband's investment.
Before the death of my husband in the farm land, my husband took my only SON (STEVE MAYO) to South Africa to deposit the sum of US$21.5(Twenty One Million Five Hundred thousand United States Dollars), on his name with a Security & Finance Company, as he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as ''FAMILY TREASURE'' to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This money was meant for buying of new machineries and chemical for farms and establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
I ran to South Africa with my SON where we are currently residing as asylum seeker. Of late, when I decided to invest this money here in South Africa, I discovered that the laws of this country prohibit asylum seeker the right to investment or to operate any form of bank account. Hence I contacted you to help me and my son in transfering this money out of South Africa to your overseas bank account for onward investment in your country. You will please be required to come down to South Africa to help me and my son as my foreign partner to claim the Consignment from the custody of the Security Company. We will also travel back with you after the successful transaction.
I must let you know that this transaction is risk-free. So, if you are willing and interested to assist me and my son, I have decided to give you 15% of the total sum for your assistance, 80% will be for my investment in your country and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incure during the course of the transaction.
I would also like you to assist us in investing our own share of the money in your country since we don't have an international investment idea.You were chosen out of my list after my seven days prayer and fasting with my son. So my contact with you is a divine providence of God.The Security Company has no knowledge of the exact content of the box. Hence it must please remain top secret to ensure the success of the transaction.
Finally, I want you to understand that all hope is on you, and we rely on you believing that you will not betray ME AND MY SON when this fund finally transferred to your overseas bank account. I need your urgent reply through the above Telephone and E-mail. Do not forget to include your private telephone and fax numbers for easier communication. Please treat this matter with absolute confidentiality considering my situation here in South Africa as asylum seeker.
Please be informed that the success of this transaction is centered on trust,honesty,capability,and confidentiality, which must be our watchwords to ensure the success of the transaction. Upon your arrival, you will open a Non-resident Dollar Account in your name where this money will be deposited first for onward transfer to your overseas account. After the account is opened, we will then go to the Security Company to retrieve the consignment and deposit the fund into the account that you opened for final transfer to your bank account in your country.
Thank you very much and may the good God bless you and your family aboundantly as you help us out of this situation we are facing here in South Africa.Please kindly call my SON STEVE MOYO through the above telephone number for more information.You can alternatively send a reply via the email address above
Waiting for your urgent response immediately.

Mrs.Rosemary Moyo & john Moyo. (For the family)
