JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
URGENT RESPONSE FOR BUSINESS TRANSFER
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT / C.E.O.
Dear Sir / Madam
With trust and humility, I present this letter to you; I am PAUL DEMANGO,
the first elder of the late JAMES DEMANGO, a great Farmer in Zimbabwe. It
might be a shock to you to receive this letter from me, and most especially
how I got your contact address. However, your address was courtesy of a
business journal at the world trade center in Johannesburg, but after due
consideration from your profile, I became aware and assured of your
credibility of handling this trust and my future.
During the current crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters
of President Robert Mugabe to claim all white owned farms in the country, he
ordered all white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and
his supporters, my father was one of the white farmers and opposed the
president actions towards the white farms.
My father was at the same time killed on the process of fighting back the
invaders. After two months I lost my mother and the president gave order to
confiscate all our properties including the farmland. After the incident,
my younger brother and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe to South Africa for
the safety of our lives.
My late father told me on his bedside about a finance company, in which all
the relevant documents (depository agreement) was handed over to me by him
to go ahead and transfer this money out of the country for investment.
The total amount is US$14.2million (fourteen million two hundred thousand
United States Dollars) was lodged into the security company in a metal box
and the contained box was not made known to the security company, rather it
was declared to them as gold and precious metals.
Due to our president status in South Africa and the nature by which we
entered South Africa we do not reserve the right to operate or maintain a
foreign dominated account as refugees. For your kindness I agree to give
you 30%, 10% is set aside for expenses incur during the process of this
transaction. Please I need your advice as an elderly person. Please
contact me with the above telephone and fax number.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged,
give me your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where in the money will be remitted. This
transaction is 100% risk free.
Best regards
PAUL DEMANGOFROM
