ATTN: SIR/MADAM
Good day! My name is MR. SMITH MBANI the elder son of SIR
MBANI NKOSI of
Zimbabwe. This might be surprise to you where I got your
contact address,
from South Africa chamber of commerce and industry in
Johannesburg.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from
the support of our
PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms
in our country, so
he ordered all the white owned farmers to surrender all
their farms to his
party members and his followers.
And my father is one of the best farmers in our country
because he did not support
his idea and his supporters invaded my father?s farm and
burnt everything in the farm
and killed my father and confiscated all his investment.
After the death of my father,
me and my mother and my younger brother decided to move out
of Zimbabwe because our lives is
still in danger with the money my father kept in his hidden
safe in my mothers
house. The amount contained in the safe is
U.S.$18,700,000.00 (Eighteen million
seven hundred thousand united states dollars) and we
decided to move through
diplomatic means to the republic of South Africa where we
deposited the money
to a security company and we were forced to seek political
asylum as a refugee.
So I decided to contact an overseas investor whom will
assist us to transfer
the money out of South Africa.
Because we are asylum seeker 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 20%
of the total sum for helping us transfer this money to your
nominated bank account
anywhere in the world, We have map out 10% f! or any
expenses it will cause during
the process of this transaction, while 80% will be for my
family to invest in your
country. Now, I want you to furnish me with your banking
details and your personal
phone and fax number for easy communication. You can
contact me with the above
telephone and fax number. Kindly destroy this letter even
if you are not willing
to assist us. You can contact me through this email
address: smithmbanifamilysmith@yahoo.com
NOTE: this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely
confidential.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and God bless.
Sincerely yours,
PLEASE YOU CAN READ ABOUT PROBLEMS IN ZIMBABWE FROM
