With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I
believe would be of great
interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research on
the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my
family and I to transfer this fund to his private or companies account for
investment purpose. I am Mr. David Themba the son of Late Mr. Dennies
Themba, who was the "Chairman" of the farmers co-operation in Zimbabwe.
During the current War aginst the Farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of
our President Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase all the white farmers
out of the country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their
farms to his party members and his followers. My father was one of the best
and successful Tobacco farmers in our country and formerly the Finance
Minister of Robert Mugabe administration, but he did not support the idea of
dispossessing the white farmers of their land.Because of this, his farm was
invaded and burnt by government supporters. In the course of the attack, my
father,s farm. And our family house was utterly destoyed. My mother died too
out of heart attack.
Before the death of my father,he drew my attention to the sum of US$26
Million, which he deposited with a security campany in South Africa during
his tenure as the Finance Minster of Zimbabwe. My sister and I decided to
move out of Zimbabwe for our own security, because our Lives were in danger.
we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa were my father deposited
this money.Till date,the security company is not aware of the content of
the consignment as important personal valuables.
I decided to have contact with overseas person\firm who will assist me to
move the money out of South Africa.This becomes necessary because as
political asylum seekers,we are not allowed to own or operate a bank
account.If you accept this proposal,you shall receive 30% of the entire
amount for assisting us to move this money out,65% of this amount shall be
for us,and the remaining 5% shall be mapped out for any expenses that might
be incurred in the course of this transaction.I want you to immediately
confirm your response,I will give you more details on how we can proceed.
Meanwhile, You can send me an e_mail with the above address to indicate your
intrest.
