Subject: A PLEA FOR AN ASSISTANCE
FROM:MRS GRACE FANILE.
54 MANDELA AVENUE STANDTON
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA
Dear:Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you do not know me
personally, but for the introduction, I am MRS, GRACE FANILE the wife of
ENG.WILLIAMS FANILE, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
Zimbabwe. I got your contact through the South African Information Exchange
(S.A.I.E) here in South Africa and I decided to write for your assistance.
My late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean well-to-do farmers
murdered in cold blood by supporters and agents of the ruling government of
president Robert Mugabe for their alleged support and sympathy for the
Zimbabwean opposition party controlled and sponsored by the whites minority.
Before his death, he had took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$
10.5 Million Dollars(TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATE
DOLLARS)with a security and finance company as if he knew the looming Danger
about to happen in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as treasures
With security company to avoid the possibility of knowing that it was money
and has an insured cover.This money was earmarked for the purchase of
machinerys and chemicals for his farms and the establishment of new farms in
neighboring countries Malawi and Mozambique.
The land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
Reform Act that wholly affects all the well-to-do farmers most of them are
whites and Some few blacks vehemently condemned the system adopted by the
government that resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the war
veterans some political supporters which hundred of people been killed.
However, heads of government from the western world especially the Britain
and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation of mugabe,s
plans.consequently upon this,the Southern African Development Community
(S.A.D.C)has continuously supported Mugabe`s new land reforms Acts.
It is against the back ground that I and my family who are currently
residing in the Republic of South Africa have decided to transfer this
amount out of South Africa into a foreign bank account.
As a widow, I am confronted with the responsibility of seeking a reliable
and honest person or persons with genuine foreign bank account where this
money could be transferred into without much taxation and problem of being
defrauded. I am faced with the problem of investing this amount of money in
the South Africa because my country and South Africa have almost the same
political history. Moreso, the South African foreign policy on political
asylums does not allow such investment since I am residing under such
status(asylum seeker.)As a businessman whom I am going to entrust my future
and that of my family in his hands,I must let you know that this transaction
is 100% risk free.
Therefore, if you accept to assist my family,and me, we are willing to offer
you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 75% will be for my family
while 5% will be used for all expenses. If this proposal is accepted by you,
Do contact my son GREG FANILE on his private (E-mail Address: gfanile@dr.com
) or on our family phone number +27-73-375-0110 as confidentiality of this
transaction cannot be over emphasized.To enable him detail you the next step
to follow in bringing this transaction to a successful conclusion. Kindly,
send your phone number and fax number for easier communication and to
maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of this transaction.
Thanks and God bless you.
BEST REGARDS
MRS.GRACE FANILE,
(FOR THE FAMILY)
