URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL

---------------------------------------------

ATTN: SIR / MADAM

Good day, my name is Mr.JAMES PHASO the only son of Mr.PHASO STANLEY of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address.Your Firm was introduced to me by Career diplomat whom I consulted in my search for a reliable Company/individual who can
assist me in transferring a reasonable sum of money abroad. I, on behalf of my late father and my two sister's we decided to solicit for your assistance to
transfer the sum of US$32 Million US Dollars (Thirty Two Million US Dollars) inherited from my late father into your company or private bank account.

During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country,so he ordered all the white farmers to surrender all their
farms to his party members and his followers.And my father was one of the best farmers in our country because he did not support the idea and his supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm and killed my father and confiscated all his investment.

After the death of my father I and my two sister's decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives is still in danger with the money my father kept in his hidden safe in our house.

The amount contain in the safe is US$32 Million US Dollars(Thirty Two Million US Dollars) and we decided to move the money through diplomatic means to the Republic of South Africa where we deposited it to the Security Firm and we are forced to seek a political asylum as refugees. So,I decided to contact the overseas firm whom will assist us to transfer this fund out of South
Africa.Because we are asylum seekers here in South Africa,which deprive us to do any business neither to operate any account with any bank here in South Africa nor to invest.

If you consider this proposal,we have agreed to offer you 30% of the total sum for helping us transfer this fund to your country and 5% will be the expences
incurred during the transaction and the remaining will be for my family to invest in your country under you care and supervision. .

Now what I want you to do for us as a foreign partner is to help us clear this sum from the Security Company using your name as the beneficiary of the fund. Now you can also contact me thorugh my private phone above for more details.

NOTE. This transaction is 100% risk-free and absolute confidential highly requied. Your urgent response will be highly needed.

Thanks and God bless.
Yours sincerely,

JAMES PHASO
