Subject: VERY URGENT ATTENTION
FROM:DAVID ANDERSONJOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA +27 732 334 405 Email:davidanderson76@galmail.co.zaDear SIR/CEO, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally; I am DAVID ANDERSON, the first son of MR CHARLES ROB ADRSON, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I was furnished with viable information from the INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTRE here in Johannesburg and decided to contact you. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of Twenty five million five Hundred Thousand united state dollars $25.5000.000.00) in a security company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This amount was meant forthe purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.This land problem came when the President of Zimbabwe MR ROBERT MUGABE introduced anew Land Act which wholly affected the rich white and black farmers. This resulted to the killing and mob action by the Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. Infect, a lot of people have been killed because of this land-reformed act of which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family and I, who are currently staying in South Africa, decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign account since the law of South Africa prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction. As the eldest son of my father I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account into which this money could be transferred to, without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got, and South Africa seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in the future since both counties have the same political history. More so, the South Africa Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such investment as an asylum Seeker. As a businessman, I have to entrust my future and of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do is to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg, South Africa, so that you can open a non-resident account which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money I intend to use for investment. I have two options for you, firstly, you can choose to have a certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the options you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 10% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transition. If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining 70% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me with the above phone and fax number or through immediate reply while I implore you to maintain secrecy required in thistransaction. And no matter the level of transaction we are in, you must keep this business secretand confidential, please. You can view the websites below for more understanding regarding what has been happening in my country Zimbabwe. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/918781.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/715001.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1063785.stm God bless you for your assistance. Yours faithfully, DAVID ANDERSON. (For the family) N: B. PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS TRANSACTION NEEDS STRICT CONFIDENTIALITY FORITS SUCCESS
