*Good Day, *
*My name is Mrs. Mary Lesedi, the wife to the late Mr. Williams Van Aardt
SNR of Zimbabwe . This might come as a surprise to you about where and how I
got your contact address. It was a result of a trusted confident from the
South Africa Chamber of commerce and industries in Johannesburg South
Africa. *
*During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe , from the
supporters of our president Mr. Robert Mugabe, to claim all the white owned
farms to his party members and followers. He ordered all white farmers to
surrender all farm to his party members and followers. My Husband was one of
the very best farmers in our country and was in partnership with a white
Man. Mr. Lawrence Smith from England . He refused giving to Mr. Mugabe's
ideas so his farm was burnt and invaded by Mugabe's supporters. Everything
was burnt in which my Husband and his partner were killed during the
invasion and they made away with lots of items. Before his death my Husband
has deposited with one Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa . The
sum of US$25 Million dollars (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars)
this money was meant for the purchase of some farming equipments and
materials from a Company here in South Africa . *
*After his death we decided to escape to South Africa . Where he has
deposited this sum with the security Company as valuables (in a treasure
box). I decided to contact the foreigner, from outside the shores of Africa
or Companies that will assist my family to move the fund from here. Because
of our present status as asylum seekers and also because South Africa and
Zimbabwe have a bilateral agreement which can lead to the seizure of the
fund if it is invested here in South Africa . Secondly our status has made
it impossible to invest the fund or deal directly with the South Africa
financial institutions. In the cause of moving the fund to any place my
family has agreed to offer you 25% of the fund for your assistant, while 75%
will be for me to investment in your Company/country. You can read about my
country's problems on this site *
