URGENT RESPONSE FOR BUSINESS TRANSFER
ATTN: THE PRESIDENT / C.E.O.
Dear Sir / Madam
My name is PAUL DEMANGO, the first son of the late James DEMANGO. I am 19 years old on the 15th decmber 2006; my father J.C. DEMANGO is a great farmer in Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise for you to receive this letter from me and most especially where I got your contact address. I got your contact information from Global Trade Agent under the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industrial in Pretoria.
During the current crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters of President Robert Mugabe to claim all white owned farms in the country, he ordered all white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his supporters, my father was one of the white farmers and opposed the president actions towards the white farms.
My father was at the same time killed on the process of fighting back the invaders. After two months I lost my mother and the president gave order to confiscate all our properties including the farmland. After the incident, my younger brother and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe to South Africa for the safety of our lives.
My late father told me on his bedside about a finance company, in which all the relevant ocuments (depository agreement) was handed over to me by him to go ahead and transfer this money out of the country for investment.
The total amount is US$14.2million (fourteen million two hundred thousand United States Dollars) was lodged into the security company in a metal box and the contained box was not made known to the security company, rather it was declared to them as gold and precious metals. Due to our president status in South Africa and the nature by which we entered South Africa we do not reserve the right to operate or maintain a foreign dominated account as refugees. For your kindness I agree to give you 30%, 10% is set aside for expenses incur during the process of this transaction. Please I need your advice as an elderly person.
Therefore, to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, give me your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted. This transaction is 100% risk free.
Best regards
PAUL DEMANGO
