that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.
I am Mrs. Philo Johnson Morris of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe.Your contact

for a reliable and God fearing person that can assist me and my son, and I

i am not acquainted to you before.The business involves the transfer of (
USD$10,000.000.00 ) Ten Million United States Dollars Only into your account

This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assasinated by the
president's (ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and property
during the crisis last year which lead to the killing and barnishing of
foreign(white) farmers.

our family lawyer who told me that my late husband had filed a document with
him which stipulates his 'WILL'.In the 'WILL' he specifically pointed and I
quote, 'Darling, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Ten Million
Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars(U.S$10,000.000.00) wich I deposited with a
Security Company in Johannesburg South Africa with all the documents filed
by lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should
solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to
transfer the money out of there (SA) for investment purposes.
I have saved this money to make the future of my only son 'JOHNSON JUNIOR'
and you my wife immediately the government started eyeing my business and
involvements with the white farmers Please take good care of 'JOHNSON' and
yourself, we shall meet to part nomore. From the above, you will understand
that my future especailly the future of my son depends on this money,and as
such I will be grateful if you can assist us in transfering this fund to
your account overseas for our investments. You can contact my son JOHNSON

lawyer arrangement and modalities of transfering this fund without any
hitch.
