JOHANESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Austine Massey
Complements of the day .How are you and your family,I hope fine..I want you
to understand our condition here in south africa as asylum seekers ,the
goverment and law of south africa does not allow us to work ,open or oprate
an account.based on what happened to us in my country Zimbabwe immidiatly my
Father died in the hand of our president and his troops ,they were after us
and our properties were seized ,accounts frozen which made us to run away .
The only hope of my family now is this fund deposited by my father in the
security company here in south africa before his death and during the time
of depositing this consignment with the security company the real content of
the consignment was not made known to the security company managment for
security reasons .i want you to assure me that you are capable to handle
this transaction and to keep the confidentiality untill you confirm the
money in your account.
Consider our conditions and assist us to get this fund been transfered to
your country for investment .
As soon as i hear from you i will send my fathers picture he took with the
security company managment during the time of depositing the consignment
with the security company,the deposit certificate issued to my father during
the time he deposited the consignment.and send them to you by mail.
I want to inform you that we are going to need the services of a lawyer who
will assist you when you arrive here to open the non resident account on
your name were the fund will be deposited first before been transfered to
your account for investment .
The lawyer will also draft an aggerement between you and my family which
will be send to you for you to go through and make your own changes or re
comendations.
The lawyer will also do the beneficiary changes of the consignment from my
fathers name to your name in the security company as my fathers foreign
patner.
Your telephone numbers are needed very important for easy communications.
Based on sending the 5%set aside for the transaction,i want you to
understand that as son as we get the consignment out from the security
company all the expences will be haned over to any person according to what
you spend to get vthe consignment out from the security company before
banking the money.
With this explanations i hope you will understand our situatons .
How old are you? What is your proffession.? Are you married?.
Waiting for your urgent and favourable reply
