My Dearest Sir/Madam,
Please do not be embarrassed to receive this mail especially since us since
we
don't know each other or meet in person before. I was opportune to have your
esteemed particulars from South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E.), in
my
search for a reliable person to handle a very confidential transaction,
which
involve a transfer of fund to a foreign account.
My concern has centered on how I could transfer my late husband's money.
Amounting to USD$38 Million (Thirty Eight Million United States
Dollars) out of
South Africa for a better investment abroad.
I am Mrs. Caroline Zuma, the wife of late Dr.Peter Zuma. My husband was
The former Zimbabwean Minister for youth, gender and Employment
creation. While
alive, my husband stood against seizure of white farms and the distribution
of
it to the blacks without compensation to the white owners.
Because of my husband's sincerity, he was killed by a planned motor
Accident along Harare-Masvingo Road near Mvuma Province of Zimbabwe.
Before his untimely death, my husband told me some few weeks earlier that he
kept one diplomatic box with a private finance and Security Company in
Johannesburg, South Africa which contains USD$38 Million (Thirty Eight
Million
United States Dollars.
He warned that he only declared the contents of the diplomatic box to the
Security Company as family treasure/values, with insurance values of the
said
amount. He also told me that he used the name of our son John Zuma as the
beneficiary of this money being our only child. The original document that
shows the Deed of lodge, Proof of Deposit, and Depository Agreement between
my
late husband and the Management of the Security Company was kept with the
reputable South African Lawyer.
Because of South African Financial Law, this bared asylum seeker/ refugee
like
us to operate an account that exceed US$1000 and fear of the amount
involved, I
decided to write to you to seek your help for this money to be
transferred into
your company's or personal bank account for our future investment in your
country. I am presently sick with HIGH BLOOD PRESURE, and was admitted in
the
hospital for treatment. So, I will please ask you call my son John as soon
as
you receive this letter for more details concerning this transfer
transaction.
Please give us your direct Mobile and fax numbers, which will allow an easy
communication before or after transferring the money into your bank account.
I
want to assure you also that this transaction is
100% risk free. As for your reward for this kind assistance, we are ready to
offer you 30% of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for expenses
incurred in the course of the transaction and the remaining 60% will be for
me
and my son John for investment in your country.
Please find below how I want you to help me and my son.
1).YOU ARE REQUIRED TO COME DOWN TO SOUTH AFRICA TO HELP US CLEAR THE
OUT-STANDING DEMURRAGE FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY, AND IT IS VERY NECESSARY
FOR
US TO MEET YOU IN PERSON HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA .
2).UPON YOUR ARRIVAL HERE IN SOUTH AFRICA, YOU WILL OPEN A NON-RESIDENT
DOLLAR ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME WHERE THE TOTAL MONEY WILL BE DEPOSITED
FIRST FOR ONWARD TRANSFER TO YOUR OVERSEAS ACCOUNT.
3).WE ALSO NEEDS YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT COPY THAT WILL ENABLE US
MAKE THE CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP CERTIFICATE IN YOUR NAME AS THE BENEFICIARY OF
THIS FUND, WHICH WILL SEND TO YOU AND TO ENABLE THE SECURITY COMPANY RELEASE
THE BOX TO US AS SOON AS YOU ARE HERE FOR COMPLETION.
4).YOUR FULL NAMES AND RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS WILL BE NEEDED.
5).PLEASE WHAT IS YOUR AGE AND OCCUPATION? THIS IS TO KNOW IF YOU ARE
CAPABLE TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION FOR US, AS WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOOSE
THIS MONEY.
6). ALL YOUR EXPENSES WILL BE GIVING BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS WE CLEAR THE BOX
UPON YOUR ARRIVAL.
If you are willing to help me and my son John, please try as soon as
possible
to get back to my son John through the above private telephone and e-mail
(johnzuma2008@gmail.com).
Please, I do hope that this money will be safe when finally transferred into
your bank account. I do hope of establishing a good relationship with you
and
your entire family after this transaction. And if you know very well that
you
cannot handle this transaction, I will appreciate if you don't write
back to me.
God bless you and your family while waiting to hear from you urgently.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Caroline Zuma
