Dear Sir,
Greetings!
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you irrespective of the
fact that you do not know me, but please do consider this letter as a
request from a widow and family in dire need of assistance. I am Mrs. Grace
Rossman, the widow of late Sir Goodwill Jonathan Rossman, the renowned
Zimbabwean Wine and Cattle Ranch farmer and owner of ROSSMAN FARMS in
Zimbabwe. I got your contact courtesy of a business journal from the South
African Information Exchange in my earnest search for a reliable and
trustworthy individual or company who can assist my family in this business.
During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and
cohorts of President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, my late husband belonged to one of the classes of farmers targeted
by the ZANU-PF armed group, because he did not support their ideas and
policies. In the course of the revolution in the country, the ZANU-PF armed
group attacked and invaded my husband's farms, burning, destroying and
eventually killing him. After my husband's death last year, I managed to
escape the boundaries of Zimbabwe into neighbouring South Africa with my two
surviving sons because our lives were threatened and Zimbabwe was no longer
safe for us.
We escaped safely into South Africa with my husband's lifetime fortune of
US$ 20M ( Twenty Million United States Dollars) cash, Important documents
of property title and other valuables, which were concealed and secured in
two treasure boxes, and transported to Johannesburg through diplomatic
means. The consignment box is currently safely lodged and secured into the
vaults of a reputable security and brokerage firm here in
Johannesburg.Presently, I am residing temporarily with my sons in
Johannesburg as political asylum seekers. At the moment, I am in a dilemma
on how to move this money safely out of South Africa for investments
overseas, because South Africa's government’s stringent monetary
policies/regulations. More so, owing to the sensitive and volatile political
status of the region, it would be most dangerous to attempt investments here
as such act could jeopardize our chances.In recognition of your personal
executive powers and investment opportunities that abound in your country, I
solicit for your assistance in moving my family's money into your bank
account for safekeeping pending our future arrival for investments.
The family has resolved to compensate you adequately by offering a brokerage
commission of 20% of the money, 5% for any expenses that will be incurred in
the process of this transaction and 75% for investment which you will assist
my family source for. I have in mind to establish a good business and
friendly relationship with you in the nearest future if you are able to
assist us. Please, let me receive your approval or reply through my son by
telephone . Contact me through: Mr. Tony Rossman (Jnr) Tel: +27-73-150-4618,
If you are unable to assist please be kind to notify me so that I can look
for a suitable alternative.
Please accept my warm compliments, as I earnestly await your response.
Respectfully,
GRACE ROSSMAN (MRS).From: Mrs Grace Rossman.
