Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE NEEDED
From: Mr Macmorris Sayanda
Plot 1103, stad city, Johannesburg,
SOUTH AFRICA
My Dear ,
Please don't be surprised to receive this letter from
me since we do
not know each other before now. I am Mr.Macmorris Sayanda,
the son of
late Mr. Tate Sayanda , a farmer in ZIMBABWE who was
recently murdered
in he land dispute in my country. I got your contact
through network
online hence decided to write you. Before the death of
my father,
he made a deposit with a security company, in SOUTH AFRICA. The
consignment was
clared to contain GEM STONES shipped on diplomatic
cover to avoid
customs
detecting the actual contents. The actual content is
the sum of US15.5
million (Fifteen million, Five Hundred thousand United
States dollars
only).This was done when he noticed the looming danger
in Zimbabwe on
land policies.
The security company does not know the actual
contents of the
two
trunk-boxes consignment as it was not disclosed to
them for security
reasons. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
?Agricultural
machineries and
chemicals for our Farms and establishment of new farms
in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe
introduced a new Land Act Reform that wholly affecting
the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers alike. This
resulted to the killing
and
mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society.
In fact a lot of people were killed because of this
Land
reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against
this background that, all my family members fled out
of Zimbabwe for
fear
of our lives. We are currently taking refuge in South
Afreica where we
seek
political asylum. At this point, we decided to
transfer my late
father`s
money to a more reliable foreign account as soon as
you take
delivery of the consignment. As the only son of my
late father,
Iam saddled with the responsibility of seeking a
genuine partner that
could assist me without the knowledge of my government
who are bent on
taking everything we have gotten. To the best of my
knowledge, the
Zimbabwea government had written their counter-part in
South Africa to
radite my two sisters and I to face the laws of the
land. To the glory
of
God, the South African has not yielded to this request
because
International Bodies are watching. We have been under
close watch by
the
authority hence we cannot travel to take delivery.I am
seeking for a
partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my
family in his
hands.
I must let you know that this transaction is free from
risk.
If you accept to assist us, do please contact me with
the above e-mail addresses to finalize
all the arrangement with the security company.
I will conclude all arrangements with the security
company to clear
the consignment (funds). I will also enlighten you on
the sharing
(70%/25%and 5%for any mesceleneous expences you may come cross basis)
and the subsequent investment to be
made in your
country with our share with your advice.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU
Yours Faithfully,
Mr.Macmorris Sayanda
For: (the family).
