Mr. John Mbuso

MY FAMILY MATTER
My name is Mr. John Mbuso, the stepson of Mr. Terry ford of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address; I got it from the net. Dont be worried because I am contacting you in good faith.
During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My stepfather was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the President political ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments.
After the death of my stepfather, my mother and I with my younger sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took along with us the money my
step-father kept in the safe in my mother's house which amounted to the sum of US$15.5M (FIFTEEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) to the Republic of South Africa where we have deposited it as personal
valuables in a private Security Company for safekeeping.
Because of our present status (Political Refugees), my mother and I are seriously looking forward to having an overseas partner that will assist us with the convenient
and legal transfer of the funds out of South Africa.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 25% of the total fund, 75% will be for my family to invest in your country under your supervision.
For detailed information, you can contact me on my
E-mail: johnmbuso200@yahoo.com
I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly welcomed.
Best Regards,
MR. JOHN MBUSO
