URGENT AND CONFIDENCAL
Attn C.e.o,
My name is MRS SONIA H. WILLAMS from the republic of Zimbabwe,the wife of
CHIEF MICHEAL J.WILLAMS.It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your
contact, I got your contact from the South African Chamber of commerce in
Johannesburg.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, from the support of
President, Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase the white farmers out of
the country, He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to
his party members and his followers. My husband was one of the best and
successful farmers in our country then, and formerly the finance minister of
Robert Mugade's administration, but he did not support the idea of
dispossessing the white farmers of their land.Because of this,his farm was
invaded and burnt by Government supporters.In the course of the attack,my
husband was killed,and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my
husband’s farm and our family house was totally destroyed.
Before the death of my husband, he drew to my attention the sum of Us$28
Million United States Dolars,which he had deposited with a security company
in South Africa during his tenure as the Finance minister of Zimbabwe.My son
KENNETH WILLAMS and I decided to move to South Africa for our own security,
for our lives were in danger.The contents of the consignment were stored as
important personal valuable by my husband using his diplomatic immunity
then.
I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist me in moving the money out of
South Africa.This became necessary after we were denied any right to run
bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction for we are
political asylum seekers in South Africa.We propose that you shall receive
20% of the entire amount for your assistance in moving the money out.75% of
this money goes to us The remaining 5% shall be used to cover expenses
incurred in the course of the transaction.
I want immediate confirmation of your interest via my personal phone or
email. As soon as I get your respond I shall give out more details on how we
shall proceed. Note that this transaction is 100% risk free.Call me as soon
as you receive this email to confirm the receipt of it and for more
directives on the way forward to the smooth transfer of the money out of
South Africa to your nominated bank account in your country.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards.
MRS SONIA H. WILLAMS
