URGENT FAMILY MONEY TRANSFER ASSISTANCE
ATTN; Gert,
My name is MRS.DORIS KADIMO, the wife of MR.JOSE KADIMO from Zimbabwe. But now residing in Johannesburg,South Africa as a refuegee with my family. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got your name and address through a commercial publication via Internet courtesy of S.A.I.E. during my desperate search for someone who could honestly and confidentially assist me by serving my trustee.
ALTHOUGH, IT IS NO LONGER NEWS,THE WORLD KNOWS THE WAY ALL THE BLACK AND WHITE FARMERS IN ZIMBABWE ARE BEING BRUTALLY MALTREATED AND KILLED BY OUR PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE. During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, the supports of our President Robert Mugabe claim all the black and white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all black and white farmer's to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My husband was one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my husband's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband's farm . Before his death, He confided to me the sum of US$19,000 000 Million (Nineteen Million United States dollars). which he had deposited with one of the Security Companys in Repulic of South Africa as valuables. Since the death of my husband, I have decided to look for a foregin partner oversea that will assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa.
The problem at hand now is that as an asylum seeker, I am only using assylum papers issued to me by the South African government. According to South African Law, asylums are not authorized to operate any form of banking and finance related issues of this magnitude. Also, I am not authorized to clear or make any withdrawals from the consignment in the security company because of my political status.
THEN I decided to contact you for an assistance to move this fund out of South Africa for our mutual benefit. Your assistance is highly needed because the security company is ready to welcome anybody with the correct imformation and documents covering this fund which I will give you if you agree to assist me and my family.
We have agreed to offer you 15% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 80% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. Now, all I want you to do is to furnish me with your full name, your bank account number, your personal phone and fax numbers, for further details regarding this transaction. You can contact me on the above mail address and telephone number.
Note:- that this transaction is risk free and 100% guaranteed based on the fact that my late husband genuinely made this money out all on his own through farming. Finaly, please do not hesitate to indicate your interest and your willingness as soon as possible.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS,
WITH LOTS OF REGARDS.
MRS. DORIS KADIMO,
(FOR THE FAMILY).
