With due respect, trust, truth and humility, I write
you this proposal, which I believe would be of great
interest to you, I found your contact while I was
doing a private research through chamber of commerce
for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will
assist me and my family. I am Mrs JANET SCOTT, the
wife of late DANNIS SCOTT of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe
and from support of our President Robert Mugabe to claim
all the white owned farms in our country, all the
white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms
to his party members and his followers. My husband who
was one of the best farmers in our country and
treasure of the farmers cooperation did not support
his idea and so the party members invaded my
husband's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killed my
husband,my first son who would have graduated this
year as a medical doctor and made away with a lot of
items in my husband's farm.
After the death of my husband during the month of
February 10th 2002 presidential election in zimbabwe,
I and my family decided to move out of Zimbabwe
because of our lives were in danger. The amount my
husband had deposited in a private security company
here in south africa before he was killed was US$15M
(Fifteen Million United States Dollars) This money
was meant for the purchase of agricultural
equipments.Owing to the turmoil being experienced by
my family we decided to move to the Republic of
South Africa where my husband had already given me
instructions and details of the fund he had deposited.
This money was deposited as valuable items.Again
when we arrived South Africa we had became assylum
seekers (refugees), now we came to find out that our life has
suddenly been made difficult as the South African
Moneytary policy does not allow us as refugees
to operate bank accounts or make financail
investment.I cannot but contact you to be my foreign
partner to help me and my family in the transfer of
this fund out of South Africa as it is all we have
and hope on now.
So if you consider this proposal I have agreed to
give you 20% of the total sum for helping me to transfer
this money out to your country and 5% will be mapped
out for expenses both of us incur during this
transaction while 75% will be for me and my family
to invest in your country. You can contact me by email:
janetscott70@caramail.com, Telephone: +27-72-720-7880 urgently.
Note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and
absolutely confidential for security reasons.
Best Regards,
Mrs.Janet Scott
{For the family)
