capable and reliable in handling this urgent international transaction of
this sort.
I am PAUL GEZI, the son of comrade Border Gezi, the Zimbabwean former
Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a businessman and
politician, in the Zimbabwean political arena. My father was the famous
politician who stood firm against President Mugabes idea of continuos fight
in Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also stood against seizure of
white farms and the distribution of it to the blacks without compensation to
the owners.
Because of my fathers sincerity he was killed on the 14th April 2001 by a
planned motor accident along Mashonaland in Western Mashona province of
Zimbabwe, the planners of the accident are said to be dissidents soldiers
occurred suspected to have the backing of the government and President
Mugabe.
When this accident occurred at about 10:15 am Zimbabwean time my father did
not die on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare hospital by unknown
soldiers and my father managed to sneak a written message to us, explaining
his condition concerning one diplomatic box he concealed With one of the
Security company in Johanesbourg (South Africa) US$10.5 M TEN MILLION FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) .

not raising eyebrows here in South Africa, I decided to write to you seeking
for your help for this money to be transferred into your private bank
account as all arrangements for a hitch free transfer have been fully taken
care off. I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free
as no other person knows this box apart from my younger brother and I.

total amount, 5% for any expenses that might be incurred in the course of
this transaction. We planned to invest the rest of the money in your country
under your guidance. If you are willing to help us try as much as possible
to reach me with the above numbers to enable us proceed in earnest towards

establishing a rewarding and good relationship with you and your family
