ATTENTION MY DEAR,
NOTE THAT THIS IS MY LIFE AND EVERY THING TO ME WHICH I WILL LIKE YOU
TO
TREAT THIS WITH ALTMOST TRUST AND URGENCY ALSO CONFIDENTIAL.
MY NAME IS GEORGIANNA GEZI, THE ELDEST DAUGHTER OF MR JAMES GEZI.OF
ZIMBABWE. IT MIGHT BE A SURPRISE TO YOU WHERE I GOT YUOR CONTACT
ADDRESS,BUT I GOT IT FROM THE JOHNNESBURG CHAMBERS OF TRADE AND
COMMERCE, PLEASE DON'T BE WORRIED.
DURING THE CURRENT CRISES AGAINST THE ZIMBABWE FARMERS BY THE
SURPORTERS OF OUR PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE TO CLAIM ALL THE WHITE OWN FARMS IN OUR
COUNTRY,HE ORDERED ALL THE WHITE OWN FARMERS TO SURRENDER THIRE FARMS TO HIS
PARTY MEMBERS AND THIER FOLLOWERS. MY FATHER WAS ONE OF THE BEST FARMERS IN
THE COUNTRY AND KNOWING THAT HE DID NOT SURPORT THE ORESIDENT IDEOOGY, THE
PRESIDENT SURPPORTERS INVADED MY FATHER'S FARM BURNT DOWN EVERY WHERE,
KILLED HIM AND CONFISCATED ALL HIS INVESTMENT.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER'S ,HE HAD TAKEN ME TO JOHANNESBURG TO
DEPOSITED THE SUM OF US$15.5M(FIFTEEN MILLION AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATE DOLLARS) AS IF HE FORE SAW THE LOOMING DANGER IN ZIMBABWE.
THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED IN ONE STRONG METAL BOX AS GEMSTONE TO AVOID MUCH
DEMURRAGE FROM THE SECURITY COMPANY, THIS MONEY HE INTENDING TO USE IN
PURCHASING NEW MATERIALS FOR THE HOUSE AND ESTABLISHMENT OF INVESTING
IN OVERSEAS VENTURE. CURRENTLY, MY FAMILY AND I ARE STAYING IN SOUTH
AFRICA AS ASYLUM SEEKER(REFUGEES) BUT OUR PROBLEM IS THAT AS REFUGEES WE DO NOT
ENJOY SOME CERTAIN RIGHT, BECUASE THE SOUTH AFRICAN FOREIGN EXCHANGE POLICY
DOES NOT ALLOW ASYLUM SEEKERS TO OWN AN INVESTMENT, NOR TO OPERATE ANY FORM
OF BANK ACCOUNT OR TO INVOLVED IN ANY FINANCIAL TRANSACTION . IT IS
AGAINST THIS BACKGROUND.
AS THE ELDEST ONE I DECIDED TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH
AFRICA,ANDAM SADDLY WITH THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEKING A GENUINE ACCOUNT INTO
WHICH THIS MONEY COULD BE TRANSFER AS SOMEONE WHOM I AM GOING TO ENTRUST OF
MY FUTURE AND THAT MY FAMILY IN HIS HAND, I MUST LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS
TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE AS I HAVE ALL LEGAL DOCUMENTS OF THE
DEPOSITION OF MY FATHER'S CONSIGNMENT IN THE SECURITY COMPANY, WHICH HE
DID ON MY OWN NAME.IF YOU AGREE TO ASSIST ME, I AM READY TO WORK ALL THE
RELEVANT DOCUMENTS ON YOUR NAME. I HAVE TO REMIND YOU THAT I HAVE
MAPPED OUT 5% FOR ANY EXPENCESE THAT MAY OCURE DURING THIS RANSATION,AND 25% FOR
YOU THEN,70% WILL BE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AND WILL BE JION AS PARTNERSHIP
WITH YOU IN ANY INVESTMENT, DEPEND ON YOUR ADVICE.
PLEASE I WILL LIKE YOU TO FURNISH ME WITH YOUR PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX
NUMBER WHEN REPLY TO THIS LETTER AND I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON
ASPOSIBLE.
