Subject: PLEASE I NEED YOUR HELP

Dear Sir,
PLEASE I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE
You might be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know
me. But I plead for your understanding as you read this latter. I am MR.
ROBERT HOOKS the son of late MR DAVID HOOKS who was murdered by the Zimbabwe
war veterans and furious black people. I got your contact e-mail address
Wile browsing via the Internet of commerce and industry.
After due consideration of your profile, I was moved to write you. I write
to solicit for your humble assistance to my family devastated by a
dictatorial Government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party.
President Robert Mugabe. Due to farmland crisis in my country the Government
secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to disposed
the land being occupied by the white farmers. This action led to killing of
some members of the opposition party including my father who did not support
this unfortunate action. "You can vew some of Inhuman acts of the zanupf
supporter by clicking the link below". But before this uprising in my
country, My Father anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum
of US$22M (TWENTY TWO MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) to South Africa and
deposited it in a Security Company with the intention of using it for the
purchase of farm machinery and chemicals for the establishment of a new farm
in Swaziland as he told me.
According to the information I gathered form the depository documents, this
money was deposited in a box as a germ stone to avoid much demurrage in the
Security Company.
On the 29 august 2001 the war veterans and some spotters of (ZANU-PF) ruling
party trooped into our compound and stoned my father to death and my elder
brother who was there with him at that moment. Since then they have been
terrorizing my mother and I but we managed to escape to the neighboring
country South Africa as a political asylum seeker (refugee).
Presently our position in South Africa does not permit us to open an
account, operate any business or be involved in any fanatical transaction.
Those is why I have to plead for your assistance to enable us to get this
money out from the security company and transferred it to your account in
your country and also assist us to invest the money in your country. I must
let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. If you accept to
assist us, all I want from you is to arrange and come down to Johannesburg
South Africa so that you can help us to open a non-resident bank account in
your name which will aid us in transferring the money into your nominating
account overseas.
For your assistance we will be happy to give you 30 % of the total fund
after the transaction and we have also decided to map out 6% of the total
fund to take care of any expenses that may arise during the process of this
transaction. Than the remaining 64% will be for the investment.
If you do not prefer a the idea of taking a percentage of the fund as
reword, we are equally willing to go into partnership venture with you if
you are really capable and willing to assist us please contact me
immediately in South Africa with the telephone number above.
Finally please treat this matter as urgent as possible, we in dire to leave
this country soonest as our condition here is deteriorating by day.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation.
Best Regards,
ROBERT HOOKS
