Dear Sir/Madam
My name is Mr.Ezekiel Nyandoro, 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. Don't be worried
because I am contacting you in good faith.
During the 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. Terry 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.
Before this unpleasant incident, my mother and Terry had
already visited South Africa to deposit the sum of Fifteen
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars
(US$15.5M) in the safe vault of a Security and financial
company here in Johannesburg South Africa. This action was
taken because Terry felt the growing tension on the farm
issue but I guess he never anticipated the tragedy that
brought his brutal and sudden death.
At the time of deposition, the real content was not
disclosed to the security officials; instead, it was
deposited as Family Valuables? Valued for the real content
in the consignment.
After the bloody incident, we all had to escape out of our
country for the safety of our lives. We seek refuge in
South Africa and we were permitted to reside here as
Political Refugees under section (5.9).
Because of our present and unpleasant status, 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
20%of the total fund, and 5% of the total will be set aside
to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction.
75%will be for my family to buy shares in your company or
investing in your country under your supervision.
I would appreciate confidentiality and honesty in our
correspondence. Your immediate response will be highly
welcomed.
I wait to hear from you.
May the lord be with you.
Best Wishes,
Ezekiel Nyandoro
for family
