Subject: A FAMILY IN NEED OF ASSISTANCE!!
MRS JANET MBEWE
34 SMITH STREET JOHNANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA
Dear Sir,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial as a matter of
urgency, I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement .I am Mrs. JANET MBEWE wife of late
MR.STEPHEN MBEWE, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irate
black people. I am writing from South Africa . I got your address from the
internet through the Consultancy directory during my search for a reliable
and honest person to transact this business with. I write to solicit for
your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led
by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party-president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe , the government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to dispossess the
land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of
some members of opposition party including my husband (MR. STEPHEN
MBEWE).But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and
so he deposited the sum of US$20.6m(Twenty Million Six Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in the name of our only son MICHAEL MBEWE, with the
help of reputable security company in South Africa with the intention of
using it to open fertilizer manufacturing company among other companies in
our neighboring country (Swaziland) after his university education. On the
29th of June 2000, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU PF) ruling
party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death. Since
then, they have been terrorizing my only son, MICHAEL MBEWE, but we managed
to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum
seeker (refugee).But our position in South Africa does not permit us to open
an account or run any huge financial business that is why I want this fund
to be transferred into your private account so that you will assist him to
invest it in your country. Hence, if you agree to assist us, we will offer
you 20% of the money for your assistance, 80% will be for our family
investment in your country through your assistance. I need your urgent and
confidential response. Please you can contact my son MICHAEL MBEWE,
Email: mbewe_family@live.com<http://us.mc316.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=mbewe_family@live.com>Or
Email:
michaelmbewe@hotmail.com<http://us.mc316.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=michaelmbewe@hotmail.com>
Best regards,
Mrs. JANET MBEWE.
