AN URGENT FUND TRANSFER.
ATTN:DIRECTOR
DEAR SIR
I know this letter will come to you as a surprise My name is PAUL DONOGHUE,
I'm the first son of the second wife of my late Father Mr.JOHNSON DONOGHUE,
of ZIMBABWE. It might be a surprise to you where I found your contact
address from the chambers of commerce here in South Africa. for a reliable
and capable foreign partnership who will assist me and my family.( SAINO )
South Africa Trade Centre.And it is coming to you with good intention.
During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters
of our President, ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his
party members and their followers.
My father was one of the great and best farmers in the country and knowing
that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s
supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a
result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after five days. And
after his death, I and my Mother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the
safety of our lives to South-Africa. but, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL,
which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF
($25.5,000,000=00). MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A
SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG(SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON
EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". You should solicit for a reliable foreign
partner to assist us to transfer this money out of South Africa for
investment purpose.
I eposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you alone with
the deposit code. your mother has all the documents.Take good care of your
mother and brother." From the above, you will understand that the lives and
future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful
if you can assist Me. I and my Younger brother are now living in
South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the financial law of
SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain
financial rights to such huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot
invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am asking for you to assist me to
transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your
efforts, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total fund, while 5% will be
set aside for local and international expenses and 70% will be kept for me
and my family . Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be
conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
For more detaile information please contact me through E-mailaddress .
Looking forward to your urgent reply .
ALL THE BEST,
PAUL DONOGHUE.
(FOR THE FAMILY)
