THE DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
My name is Mrs. Rebecca Makondo the wife of Jonathan Makondo from Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address, I got your address from the South African Network Online {SAINO} when I was desperately looking for a trust-worthy person to assist my son who is currently residing in south Africa, so I decided to contact you.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members.
My husband was one of the best farmer in our country and because he did not support Mugabes ideas, Mugabes supports invaded my husband farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband farm.
Before his death, my husband had deposited with one of the Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of (US$14 Million Fourteen Million United States Dollars). After the death of my husband, my son{FRANKLIN} decided to move out of my country to Republic of South Africa where my husband had deposited the money with the Security Company as valuables.
Please why I am contacting you is to assist my son to move this money out of South Africa because as asylum seekers he is not allowed to operate any Bank Account orassured of security our investestment within in the country.
We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction while 75% will be for me and my family which I believe that with your help we will invest it in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your private phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact my son on his private telephone number {FRANKLIN} on:+27-73-494-8082 or on his email address thus:franklinmak2k@yahoo.com
Waiting for your urgent response.
Best Regards.
MRS. REBECCA MAKONDO,
