Attn.
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 Mbambo the wife of Mr. Maurice Mbambo 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 Jacob Mbambo immediately with the above
telephone number (+27-83-756-7901) or by this private
email:(familymbambo01@webmail.co.za) 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
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Marian Mbambo (For The Family)
