Subject: FAMILY URGENT ASSISTANCE
FROM:MR.PEDRO.A WILLIAM.
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
EMAIL:williamakin2@yahoo.com
Dear:Sir/Madam
l know that You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do
not know me personally.First,let me introduce myself,I am MR..PEDRO.A.
WILLIAM,the son of PEDRO ANDERSON,who was recently murdered in the land
despute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact through my intensive internet search here in Johannesburg
when I was making inquiries of investment in your country,then i decided to
write you directly.Before the death of my father,he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US21.5 Million[TWENTY ONE MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS]in one of the private security
companies as if he foresaw the looming danger in ZIMBABWE.
the money was deposited in boxes as gem stones to avoid much dumurrage from
the security company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines
and farm land in SWAZILAND.This land problem came when ZIMBABWEAN president
MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new land act reform,which affected the rich
white farmers and some few black farmers.This resulted in killing and mob
actions by the Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the
society.Infact a lot of people were killed which my father was one of them
because of this land reform act.
I am afraid of establishing here in South Africa for the fear of going
through the same experience in future since both countries have similar
political history.Moreover,The South African foreign exchange policy does
not allow such investment for an asylum seeker.
As a business man whom i have to entrust my future and that of my family in
his hand,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 for me is to arrange
and come to Johannesburg South Africa,so that you can open a non resident
account which will aid us in transfering the money into any account you will
nominate overseas,and to enable us see face to face and discuss investment
opportunities.This money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you,first,you choose to have certain percentage of
the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go
into partnership with me for the proper investment of the money in your
country,which ever the option you want,be free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 10% of this money for all kinds of expences incured
in the process of this transaction, If you do not prefer a partnership,I am
willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 65%will be for my
investment in your country.Contact me with MY EMAIL ADDRESS ,while you
maintain the absolute secrecy and entiality required in this transaction.
yours faithfully,
MR,PEDRO.A. WILLIAM
