ATTN: MD/CEO,
APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE.
With due respect trust and humility, it is my pleasure appealing for your assistance at this point in time. My name is MR WILSON DUBE the elder son of Mr. JAMES DUBE 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 Africa.
During 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 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 Mugabe’s ideas, Mugabe’s supports invaded my fathers farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my fathers farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$10,500 000.00 (TEN Million Five Hundred Thousand 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 South Africa because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any Bank Account within South Africa.
I have two options, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses that might be incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give you 20% of the total money,while 75% will be for my family. If you are really capable and willing to assist me, please do contact me with my detailed information please.
I am looking forward with a view to hearing from you soonest.
MR WILSON DUBE
(FOR THE FAMILY).
