Subject: URGENT BUSINESS PORPOSAL
FROM: MRS. ROSE NKOSI
ATTN: Managing Director/C.E.O.
Good day! My name is MRS. ROSE NKOSI the wife of MR. MARTIN NKOSI of
ZIMBABWE. This might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address
from South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Johannesburg. During
the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our
PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country,
he ordered all the white owned farmers to surrender all their farms to his
party members and his followers and my husband is one of the best farmers in
the country. Because he did not support his idea, his supporters invaded my
husband’s farm and burnt everything in the farm and killed my husband and
confiscated all his investment.
After the death of my husband and my children, I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because our lives are still in danger with the money my husband
kept in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is
US$25,000,000.00 (twenty-five Million United States Dollars) and we decided
to move with the money through Diplomatic means to the Republic of South
Africa where we deposited the money through diplomatic means and we were
forced to seek a political asylum as a refugee.
So I decided to make contact with an overseas firm who will assist us to
transfer the money out of South Africa because we are asylum seekers here in
South Africa, Which deprive us not to operate an account with any bank here
in South Africa neither to invest. If you consider this proposal, we have
agreed to offer you the total sum of 15% for helping us transfer this money
to your country and 5% will be mapped out for expenses both of us incurred
during the transaction while 80% will be for my family to invest in your
country. You are requested to fly down to South Africa for a crucial meeting
and signing agreement. Of there is time, we will also commence in the
transaction which will take 2 to 3 working days.
Your personal phone and fax number is needed for easy communication. You can
contact me with the above fax number. Note: This transaction is 100% Risk
free and absolute confidential. And you can also contact my son MR.ROMEO
NKOSI on his phone numbers 27-72-11 77 525, for more information.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Please I am a fully Born again Christine woman I need you honesty and trust.
Thanks and God be with you.
MRS. ROSE NKOSI,
(For the family)
