Dear Sir/Madan
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe will be a great interest to you. I found 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. That's why I contacted you.
I am Mrs. Marian Luza the wife of Mr. Maurice Luza of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support
of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, all the white and black farmers were ordered to surrender their
farms to his party members and his followers. My husband who was one of the
best farmers in our country and treasurer of the farmer's Co-operation did
not support his idea and so the party members invaded my husband's farms and
burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband's farm.
After the death of my husband, my children and I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger with the fund that my husband kept
in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is US$20,5
Million (Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) and we
decided to move this money to the Republic of South Africa, where we
deposited it with a private Security Company as a valuable in a
box/consignment. This I did for security reasons and to keep from public
eyes.
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 as soon as you get this
message please contact my son Oscar Luza immediately with the above
telephone number (+27-73-195-2696) or by email; he knows also about this
transaction, for details on how to execute this transaction to the
satisfaction of everybody.
Finally I want you to know that your ability to keep confidential
information about this transaction is very important as all our hope for a
better life depends on this money.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Marian Luza
(For The Family)
