GREETINGS, GREETINGS AND GREETINGS .
DEAR SIR/MADAM
My names is MR.JOHN MARK CAMARA, the eldest son of CHIEF JOSEPH CAMARA of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I
got it from net work on line South African . 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, I with my younger Brother 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 ($8.5,000,000).EIGHT MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND 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 assist 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 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 us.
I with 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 you to assist me
transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your
efforts, I am prepared 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 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. Looking forward to
your urgent reply .For detailed information. 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. All the
best,
