Dear Jan,
My names are Mrs. Cathrine Nzama, the wife of Mr. Collins B.Nzama of
Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address, I
got your e-mail address from the internet, please don't be worried.
During the current crisis 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 Husband was one of the best farmers in
the country and knowing that he did not support the president's political
ideology, the president's supporters invaded our farm burnt down everything,
killed him and confiscated all his investments.
After the death of my Husband, my family decided to move out of Zimbabwe for
the safety of our lives. We took along with us the money my father kept in
the safe in his house which amounted to the sum of US$12.7 Million United
States Dollars to the Republic of South Africa. The funds are presently
being kept away in the secret vaults of a private security firm based here
in Johannesburg. The officials of the firm believe they’re helping me in
keeping my personal Valuables, not realizing, that it's money.
Myself and my Children have decided to contact any reliable overseas
firm/person who could assist us to transfer this money out of The Republic
of South Africa, because we as asylum seeker here in South Africa cannot
operate an account through which this fund will be channeled out to a
nominated overseas account.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to
your country, we will offer you 10% of the total fund, and 5% of the total
will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction.
85% will be for me and my family to invest in your country under your
supervision.
Best Regards,
Mrs.Cathrine Nzama.
