INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO
Dear Sir/MADAM,
With much respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his personal or private account and for investment purpose. I am Mr. GEORGE WILLIAMS the son of LATE Mr. STEVE C WILLIAMS, who was the chairman of the farmer’ co-operation in Zimbabwe.
My father was among the many rich farmers who were brutally murdered in cold blood by the war veterans of the ruling party Zanu PF that is ruled by the president Robert Gabriel Mugabe for his farm and for supporting the opposition MDC, ruled by Morgan Tsvangirai. Before the land acquisition began my father took me to South Africa to deposit (US$ 20 million dollars) Twenty million dollars, into a security finance company. To avoid questions he made as though he was safe keeping some jewelers and rubies. He did this as though he knew what the Zanu PF regime would do to him.
This money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland. Before his death, he was a major shareholder of the companies in Zimbabwe.
We are presently in South Africa as (asylum seekers) and as such the law of South Africa does not permit us to operate or open any account here in South Africa or be involved in any financial transaction with the bank. That is why we contact you to assist us in this transaction. I will be willing to offer you 20% for your help, 70% will be for a joint business venture in your country, 10%will be for any expenses that will incur during our business transactions.
The nature of your business does not necessarily matter. Therefore if you are interested and willing in assisting me, please reply me via this mail address details above and do include your private number.
Expecting to hear from you soonest
Best regard,
MR. GEORGE WILLIAMS
