Subject: HELLO
Mr. Clement Burchan
Johannesburg South Africa
Dear,
My name is Mr. Clement Burchan, the stepson of Mr. Terry Burchan Ford of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address; I
got it from the net. Don't be worried because I am contacting you in good
faith.I am 23 years old, a student.
During the crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the 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. Terry was one of the best farmers in the
country and knowing that he did not support the President political
ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down
everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. Before this
unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had already visited South Africa to
deposit the sum of Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars (US$7.5M) in the safe vault of a Security and financial company here
in Johannesburg South Africa.
This action was taken because Terry felt the growing tension on the farm
issue but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that brought his brutal
and sudden death. At the time of deposition, the real content was not
disclosed to the security officials; instead, it was deposited as Family
Valuables? Valued for the real content in the consignment.
After the bloody incident, we all had to escape out of our country for the
safety of our lives. We seek refuge in South Africa and we were permitted to
reside here as Political Refugees under section (5.9). Because of our
present and unpleasant status, my mother and I are seriously looking forward
to having an overseas partner that will assist us with the convenient and
legal transfer of the funds out of South Africa.If my proposition is
considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will
offer you 25% of the total fund,75% will be for my family. We wish to invest
a large portion of our share in your country under your supervision.
However, what we needed from you is your good assistance in helping us
transferring the said sum to your account since we are inexperienced in the
world of business, thats the reason why we are asking for your support. All
documents concerning the deposit may be given to you for your verification.
We really need to move the fund out of Africa to abroad. I have decided to
give you 30% of the total sum for your kind assistance. The world is full of
bad people please can you prove your genueity to us for us to have you as a
partner.
Sorry i am not saying you are bad person but consider that this is money and
how the money was gotten, It is inheritance and last hope. Show you're
intrest and we proceed on the next step of action. Africa is no longer
conducive for us to stay.
For detailed information, you can contact me on my e-mail. I would
appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence. Your immediate
response will be highly welcomed.I wait to hear from you. Be with God.
Best Wishes,
Edward Taibu
For family
