ATTN;sir/madam
I am MR. FRIDAY GEORGE , Member of the government for democratic change in zimbabwe. My party is opposed by the ZANE-PF-PARTY of the incumbent president ROBERT MUGABE. I was in partnership with a white farmer and as well a business man in Zimbabwe and as we progress in business, I brought his ideas and philosophy,which made me join the movement for democratic change which is dominated by the whites(of which my colleague is a top member).We control the greater part of the white dominated farmers in Zimbabwe and we are major shareholders in major companies in Zimbabwe .The Mugabe's government and his political associates are not tolerant to the activities of the government for democratic change and he is using indirect guerilla war tactics to oppress the members.ZIMBABWEAN war vetrans invaded our farms and confiscated some of our assets and held us hostage.I managed to escape from the hostilty and brutality but my business partner died in the struggle .
He left a message that I should sell off all our assets including the farms, estates and companies , and that I should be ensured that his family realocates to overseas and also that I should invest the money wisely bearing in mind that the next step of the guerillas will be to confiscate the remaining assets. Now, I have successfully sold off the remaining portion of our estates, farms and companies after which I managed with the help of the immigration to sneak into Johannesburg, South Africa with the total money realised from the sales of the assets, andother things that my partner consented me to sell.
Infact, I and my partner's family are in South Africa as an asylum seekers as at the moment, and the total sum of money in our possession is US$8.5 MILLION (EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITEDSTATES DOLLARS).This money has been deposited in one of the security companies here in Johannesburg, South Africa for safe guarding till I get a reliable person who will be able to assist me transfer it into his or her account overseas as instructed by my late partner. Note, the consignment deposited in the security company is in no way been disclosed to them , rather I told them that its content was GOLD AND DIAMOND, which belongs to a foreign associate.This I told them because tthe law of South Africa does not allow asylum seekers such financial rights or to operate a bank transaction.
Least I forget,you might be wondering how I got to know your profile, infact, I got your contacts from South African chambers of commerce,and after a careful reasarch of your profile, realized you will be able to assist me.Again, seeing truth as the basis of business in life decided to trust and rely in you in this transaction.
I HAVE ALREADY SET ASIDE 25% OF THE TOTALS MONEY FOR YOUR REWARD IN CASE YOU ASSIT ME IN TRANSFERING THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA,5%FOR EXPENSES THAT MIGHT BE INCURED IN TRANSERING THIS FUND,AND 70% WILL BE FOR MY LATE PARTNER'S FAMILY AND I, OF WHICH WITH YOUR HELP, YOU WILL HELP US FOR NVESTMENT PURPOSES IN YOUR COUNTRY. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100%- RISK FREE, AND I WILL EMPLORE THAT YOU MAINTAIN ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AS I LOOK UP TO YOU. PLEASE IF YOU ARE INTRESTED, DO
CONTACT ME ON THE ABOVE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS. MORESO, DONT FORGET TO FURNISH ME WITH YOUR TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATION.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR. GEORGE FRIDAY
