Dear Sir,
Firstly, let me introduce myself to you, My name is Martins Nkomo the elder
son of Mr. James Nkomo 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 and industry here in Johannesburg, Republic of South
Africa.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters
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 was one of the richest farmers in our country and because he did
not support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's 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
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$8Million (Eight Million United
States Dollars). After the death of my father, we left with nothing. I and
my Mother together with my wife decided to move to the Republic of South
Africa where My Late Father had deposited the money in the Security Company
as family valuables because the security company do no aware that the real
contents of the box is cash money inorder to beat security measure and also
to avoid much charges from the security company.
Consequently upon the above, I decided to contact overseas firm and
companies that will assist us to move this money out of South Africa because
as asylum seekers here in the Republic of South Africa,we are not allowed to
operate any bank account or registered business within South Africa. We have
agreed to compensate you with 30% of the total sum for your kind assistance
in this regard, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be
incurred in the course of this transaction and 65% will be for me and my

detailed procedures on how we will achieve this goal as soon as you indicate
your willingness to assist me and my family
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your private telephone,city code
and fax numbers for easy communication. Note that this transaction is 100%
risk-free and absolutely confidential.Please if you are willing to assist
us, kindly contact me through the telephone number or e-mail address above.
If God have touched your heart to assist us, you can reach me through the
above e-mail address or telephone number as soon as possible for more
details.

Martins Nkomo
