Dear , sir/madam
my name is Daniel Harris, the elder son of Mr. James Harris of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact address. I got your address from the South African Chamber of Commerce in Johannesburg, South AfricaDuring the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers.
He ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My father is one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabes ideas,Mugabes supporters invaded my fathers farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my father s farm.Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the Security Company.
Hear in Johannesburg South Africa the sum of US$26 Million (Twenty Six Million United States Dollars). After the death of my father, we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security Company as valuables. So I decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist me to move this money out of SouthAfrica.
Because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any bank account within South Africa. We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. Note: that this transaction is 100% risk-free and absolutely confidential, for private use for my family I urge you to contact me through my family email address at ( danielharris500@webmail.co.za)or(daniel_harris002@yahoo.com)
. Do you understand because this money is my family last hope and we cannot afford to lose it, after the death of my father.
Thanks and God bless.
Daniel Harris
