Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
85 MONUMENT ROAD
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA
ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe, would be of great interest to you. I found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist me and my family.
I am MR.FRANK MARTINS the son of MR.KENNETH MARTINS (late) of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his
party members and his followers. My father who was one of the best farmers
in our country and treasury of the farmer’s co-operation did not support his
idea and so the party members invaded my father’s farms and burnt everything
in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of items in my
father’s farm.
After the death of my father, my mother and I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because of our lives were in danger with the money that my father
kept in his hidden safe in our house. The amount contained in the safe in
our house is US$25m( Twenty Five Million US Dollars) and we decided to code
the money and move to the Republic of South Africa where we deposited the
money in a Security Company as a "VALUABLE ITEMS". So I decided to make
contact with an overseas firm whom will assist me to move this money out of
South Africa, because we are asylum seekers here in South Africa.
All l want you to do is to make arrangement and come down to Republic of
South Africa, Johannesburg, and on your arrival, you will open a
non-resident account in one of the commercial banks where the money will be
transferred to your account oversea. This will only take two working days
and thereafter we all can fly to your country for sharing and investments. I
can not operate a bank account because we are assylum seekers and the Laws
of South Africa, does not allow refugees financial rights
So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you 20% of the
total sum for helping us to move this money out of south Africa and 5% will
be mapped out for expenses both of us may incur during this transaction and
75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. All I want is
for you to furnish me your details and your personal phone and fax numbers
and your email address for easy communication and more information.
NOTE: That this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best Regard
