PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL INVESTMENT FUND TRANSFER
Dear Sir,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his or her personal or private account and possible for investment purpose. I am Mrs. ANGELINAH D. STEVENS the wife of Late Mr. DAVID STEVENS, who was killed in the ongoing Zimbabwean war.
My husband was among the major farmers that were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe Administration during the land dispute that have been going on for years in Zimbabwe. You can further confirm by exercising the website stated below as confirmed by the CNN news network.

After the death of my husband, we decided to move out of ZIMBABWE as our lives were in danger because of the money that my husband had kept in his hidden underground safe meant for the purchase of machineries, chemicals, bore hole etc for one of the biggest and most modern farms in Africa, in Swaziland and Mozambique. This very investment was popular as it was going to be the largest and most modern farms in Africa and as such the people who killed my husband targeted on getting the money. The amount contained in the safe and that was meant for this investment is GBP 19,300,000.00 - (NINETEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND GREAT BRITISH POUNDS).
With God on our side we escaped to South Africa and were able to deposit this money in a Security and Finance House here in South Africa as a family valuables belonging to my late husband foreign business partner pending when we will see a reliable hand that will assist us receive and possible invest the fund.
We are presently in South Africa as Refugee (Asylum Seekers) and as such the law of South Africa does not permit us to operate or even open a bank account here in South Africa or be involved in any financial transaction with the bank. That is why it is necessary for you to assist us in this transaction.
In view of our situation we are ready to give you 25% of the total amount for the inconveniences this might cost you and for your assistant, Please it is important that you do contact me on the above telephone or send us a fax on the above numbers and indicating your interest as soon as possible as we are running out of time. We are really counting on you and we will be waiting for your immediate respond. As soon as we hear from you we will be glad to give you more clarification on the modalities needed for a smooth and successful transfer of this fund.
My health is very poor due to the trauma and pain from what I have been through and as such my son - Harry is more in charge and will talk to you if I am not available to speak with you.
I anticipate your quick response.
Best regard.
FROM: MRS. ANGELINAH D. STEVENS.
