URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL / FAMILY ASSISTANCE
FROM:MRS FAITH WILLIAM
ATTN: THE CHAIRMAN/ MD,
I know you will be surprised to hear from me but please consider this letter as a request from a family in dire need of your assistance,since you do not know me personally but for the introduction, I am MRS. FAITH WILLIAM. the wife of LATE MR. REMOND WILLIAM the renowned zimbabwe wined and cattle ranch and farmar owner of Remonds farms in zimbabwe,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through the South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in South Africa and I decided to write for your assistance.
My late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean well-to-do farmers murdered in cold blood by supporters and agents of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe for their alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled and sponsored by the whites minority. Before his death, he had took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$ 13,000,000. Million Dollars.(THIRTEEN MILLION THOUSAND UNITED STATE DOLLARS) with a security and finance company as if he knew the looming Danger about to happen in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as treasures With security company to avoid the possibility of knowing that it was money and has an insured cover.This money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery’s and chemicals for his farms and the establishment of new farms in neighboring countries Malawi and Mozambique.
The land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Reform Act that wholly affects all the well-to-do farmers most of them whites.Some few blacks vehemently condemned the system adopted by the government that resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the war veterans some political supporters which hundred of people been killed. However, heads of government from the westernworld especially the Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation of mugabe,s plans.consequent upon this,the Southern African Development Community (S.A.D.C)has continuously supported Mugabe’s new land reforms Acts.
It is against this back ground that I and my family who are currently residing in the Republic of South Africa have decided to transfer this said amount out of South Africa into a foreign bank account.
As a widow, I am confronted with the responsibility of seeking a reliable and honest person or persons with genuine foreign bank account where this money could be transferred into without much taxation and problem of being defrauded. I am faced with the problem of investing this amount of money in the South Africa because my country and South Africa have almost the same political history. Moreso, the South African foreign policy on political asylums does not allow such investment since I am residing under such status(asylumseeker.)As a Somebody whom I am going to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands,I must let you know that this transaction is 100% riskfree.
Therefore, if you accept to assist my family,and me, we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 75% will be for my family while 5% will be used for all expenses. If this proposal is accepted by you, please do reply by sending me with this my email address above as confidentiality of this transaction cannot be over emphasized .Kindly, send your phone number and fax number for easier communication and to maintain the secrecy and confidentiality of this transaction.Thanks you very much for your understanding and co-operation in advance. God bless you.
