Subject: URGENT RESPONCE NEEDED
With due respect trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe will be a great interest to you. I found your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist my family and I. That's why I contacted you.
I am Mrs. Marian Koma the wife of Mr. Maurice Koma of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against famers in Zimbabwe and from the support of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, all the white and black 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 treasurer of the farmer's Co-operation did
not support his idea and so the party members invaded my husband's farms and
burnt everything in the farm,
killed my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm.
After the death of my husband, my children and I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger with the fund that my husband kept
in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is US$30,5
Million (Thirty Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) and we decided to move this money to the
Republic of South Africa, where we deposited it with a private Security
Company as a
valuables in a box/consignment. This I did for security reasons and to keep
from public eyes.
I have two options, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the
money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into
partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your
country.
Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped
out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses that might be incured in the
process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 20% of the
total money, while 75% will be for my family. If you are really capable and
willing to assist me as soon as you get this message please contact my son
James Koma immediately with the above telephone number (+27-737373617) or by
email he knows also about this transaction. for details on how to execute
this transaction to the satisfaction of everybody.
Finally I want you to know that your ability to keep confidential
information about this transaction is
very important as all our hope for a better life depends on this money.
Best Regard,
Mrs.Marian KOMA
(For The Family)
