With due respect, trust and humility I write this letter to you seeking your

got your good contact from the South African Information Exchange (SAIE)
regarding your business profile and sincerity; I believe that you are
capable and reliable in handling this urgent international transaction of
this nature.

Father was the famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabe’s
idea of continuous fight in Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also
stood Against seizure of white farms and the distribution of it to the
blacks without compensation to the owners.

not die on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare hospital by unknown
soldiers and my father Managed to sneak a written message to us, explaining
his condition concerning one diplomatic box containing the sum of
US$20Million (Twenty Million United States Dallers ) he deposited in a vault
of a security company in South Africa due to the crisis in our country and
other vital documents which Was meant for his political campaign in the
election June 2002.
He instructed me to take my brother and younger sister and leave Zimbabwe
immediately for our safety, which we successfully did and now we are in
South Africa with the original documents of deposit intact. Because of the
country existing law, which bears asylum seekers / refugee like us to
operate an account that exceed US$2000.00 and the fear of money not raising
eyebrows here in South Africa, I decided to write to you seek for your help

arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken care of. I want
to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free as no other
person knows this except my younger brother and I. , as for your reward kind

to invest the rest of the money in your country under your guidance. If you
are willing to help us try as much as possible to reach me with the above

money will be safe when finally transferred into your account. I do hope of
establishing a rewarding and good relationship with you and your family
