South Africa.
Attn:
REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE.
DEAR CEO/sir,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, i am desparately looking for a foriegn partner whom i can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS.GLORY GEZI JUMA wife of
late MR.MENTU GEZI JUMA, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and
irrate black people.
I am writing from Zimbabwe. I got your address from the internet
through the consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest
person to transact this business with. I write to solicit for your special
assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a
dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land andfarm land crisis in Zimbabwe, the government
secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irrate partymembers to
disposess the land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to
the killing of some members of opposition party including my husband(MENTU
JUMA), who did do not support this ill-fated action.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United
States Dollars)in the name of our only son 'RAYMOND at a reputable security
company in SOUTH AFRICA with theintention of using it to open fertilizer
manufacturing company among other companies in our neighbouring country
(Swaziland)after his university education.
On the 29th of July, 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of
(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to
death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, RAYMOND JUMA, but
he managed to escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit
him to open an account or run any huge financial business. That is why I
want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you will
assist him to invest it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for your
assistance, 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction, while 70% will be for our family investment in your
country through your assistance. I need your urgent and confidential
response.
Best regards,
GLORY GEZI JUMA(MRS.)
FOR THE FAMILY
Upon your immediate response, I will immediately arrange and send to you
all the INFORMATIONS that will empower your smooth transaction with the
security company in SOUTH AFRICA and I will also send to you the agreement
that will protect both interest. And also further information about yourself
is necessary for i can not play on this.

situation on the following sites:
