VERY URGENT ASSISTANCE
Attn:Director
I know this message will come to you as a surprise since we don’t know each other before,for My introduction, I am GEORGE MOKOENA, I am the Son of Late Mr.DAVID MOKOENA of ZIMBABWE. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I found your contact from the chambers of commerce here in South Africa.for a reliable and capable foreign partnership who will assist I and my family.(SAINO)South Africa. And it is coming to you with good intention. During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President 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 great and best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president’s supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds 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 My father died HE WROTE HIS WILL, which reads(MY BELOVEED SON,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF US$20.5 MILLION TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS). 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 Me to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose. I eposited the money in your name and it can be claimed by you 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 lives and future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. I with 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 transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes. For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 25% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 70% will be kept Us. Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves. For more in formation.
Looking forward to your urgent reply.
All the best,
Mr.GEORGE MOKOENA
