Attn. Sr/Madam,
URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
My name is James Gazi,the elder son of Mr Micheal Gazi of zimbabwe. It might
be a surprise to you where I got your contact address,I got it from network
on-line.
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 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 two days.
And after his death, My mother and I with two of my younger sisters decided
to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa. Before
he died, he wrote his "WILL", which reads "(MY BELOVEED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW
YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF 25.5 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 reliable foreign partner to asist you to transfer this
money out of SOUTH-AFRICA for
investment purpose. I deposited 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 two sisters."
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 assits
us.We are nowliving in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and the
financial laws 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 you to assist me
transfer this money out of South-Africa forinvestment pusposes. For your
efforts, I amprepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be
set aside for local and international expenses and 75% will be kept for my
family and I.(ME).
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to
your urgent reply from you.
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE
HIGHLY
APPRECIATED.
