I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE PLEASE!!
Good day!
My name is Mrs.Thembi Francis from Zimbabwe. I am writing to solicit for your kind assistance following my present condition here in South Africa.However, I do fore-see the surprise my letter will bring you hence we've not had previous contacts.But for the purpose of introduction, I am the wife of late Mr.Johnson Francis of masingo province in Zimbabwe who was murderred during the LAND REFORM crisis in Zimbabwe.Considerring the surprise my letter will bring to you, be advised that your contact was made avalable to me through the (INTERNET WEB-SITE) of the South African chamber of commerce and industries.
During the recent war against the (WHITE FARMERS ) in my country Zimbabwe from the supports of our President ROBERT MUGABE, to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered the white farmers to surrender all their farm lands and that they should leave our country Zimbabwe. My husband was one of the members of Zimbabwe farmers Associations (ZFA) and he was the treasurer of the farmers associations and was not in support of President MUGABE’S ideas. Because of this, the President, ROBERT MUGABE instructed his supporters to invade my husband’s farm and burnt everything in the farm. On the day of the operation, they stabbed and tied my husband and made away with a lot of items in my husband’s farm.
However, before my husband give-up to death, he told me that our country is no longer safe for us hence Mr. MUGABE insist that the White farmers must evacuate from their properties. He made it known to me that he had deposited with one of the Security Companies in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$20.5MILLION (twenty million five hundred thousand united states dollars) which he was intended to use for the purchases of a new farm machinery and chemicals for a new agricultural project in South Africa as well as purchasing a new hectors of land in Swaziland.
After the death my husband, we were forced to move to South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security Company because the murderers might decide to wipe out my entire family. Upon the result of this event, after reading about your profiles on the internet I became convinced that somebody like you will be capable of helping me to retrieve this fund from the security company as well as transferring it to your country and also assisting me in terms of investing the money wisely in a profitable business there in your country. This is why I decided to contact you. I seek your assistance in transferring this fund out of South Africa because as am a Refugees(Asylum seeker) I have limited access in so many areas, I am not allowed to operate any bank transaction within South Africa.
Upon your ability to assist me, I have agreed to offer you 25% of the total sum, 5% will be set-aside for any expenses that may incurred in the course of transferring this fund to any of your nominated bank account in your country and 70% will be for me and my family .I have all the documents that was used to deposit this fund and I am willing to send them to you by any means If you are willing to assist me. Lastly, kindly furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can equally contact me on the above Telephone number or contact me via my alternative email address:(thembifrancis@yahoo.com) . Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free hence it must be kept confidential.
Best Regards,
MRS.Thembi Francis.
