SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: 27-83-944-3290.
Dear Sir/Madam,
With due respect my name is SIMON NDLOVU, the eldest son of late MR. ANDREW
NDLOVU of
ZIMBABWE. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I
got it from the South African Information Network Online(SAINO at South
African Trade Center. And it is coming to you with good intention.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters
of our President, MR. ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in
our country. He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to
his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the greatest and best farmers in the country and he did
not support the
President's political ideology, and the President's supporters invaded my
father's farm and burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the
injuries sustained, he became sick and died after five days. And after his
death, I and my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the
safety of our lives to South-Africa.
But before he died he wrote his will, which reads:
"MY BELOVEED SON, I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF
US$25,000,000.00 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) WHICH I
DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA IN
CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY.YOU SHOULD SOLICIT FOR A
RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER TO ASSIST YOU TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH
AFRICA FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES. I DEPOSITED THE MONEY IN YOUR NAME AND YOU
CAN CLAIM IT ALONE WITH THE DEPOSIT CODE.YOUR MOTHER HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTS.
TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MOTHER AND BROTHER".
>From the above, you will understand that the live and future of my family
depends on this money and I will be very grateful if you can assist us.I and
my younger brother are now living in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM
SEEKERS and the financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS
certain financial rights to such huge amount of money.
In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am
asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of South- Africa for
investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the
total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses
and 75% will be kept for my family.
Finally, modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you
once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. Looking forward to
your urgent reply.For detailed information, please contact me on my direct
line + 27-83-944-3290.
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND
SECRECY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE
HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
All The Best,
SIMON NDLOVU.
(FOR THE FAMILY)
