Subject: REQUEST FOR A RELIABLE ASSISTANCE
FROM: Mrs. DORIS PETERSON

Tel: +27-73-197-6216
E-mail dorispeterson1@unionplus.net
Attn: Managing Director/Ceo,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial as a matter of urgency, I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS. DORIS PETERSON wife of late MR.MENTU PETERSON, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irate black people.
I got your address from the Internet through the consultancy directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this business with. I write to solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party- president Robert Mugabe. Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to dispossess the land being occupied by white farmers.
This action has led to the killing of some members of opposition party including my husband (MENTU PETERSON), who did do not support this ill-fated action. But before the death of my Husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of US$15m (Fifteen million United States Dollars) in the name of our only son 'RAYMOND at a reputable security Company in SOUTH AFRICA with the intention of using it to open fertilizer-manufacturing company among other companies in our neighboring country (Swaziland) The war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, RAYMOND PETERSON, but we managed to escape to a neighboring country, South Africa as a political asylum seekers (refugees).
But our position in South Africa does not permit us to open an account or run any huge financial business. That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you will assist us to invest it in your Country. Hence, if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the total fund for your assistance, while 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction, while 70% will be for our family Investment in your country through your assistance. I need your urgent and confidential response.
Best regards,
DORIS PETERSON (MRS.) FOR THE FAMILY
