Subject: HELP MY FAMILY
2339 RIVONAI JUNCTION
FLAT 65
RANDBERG-JOHANNESBOURG
SOUTH AFRICA
FROM:MR FREDRICK ZUMA
ATTN:SIR,
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Good day. My name is FREDRICK ZUMA The eldest son of late MR DENNIS ZUMA
of Zimbabwe. You might be surprised as to where I got your contact address
from; I got it from the International Subscribers list of yahoo Webpage
when I was searching for credible person that can offer me an assistance to
transfer some money overseas and your name was amoung the list seen, after
some prayers i descided to Pick on your name and your name was choosen
which I wouldn't know
why it should be you except God knows why.
During the current war against commercial farmers in Zimbabwe from the
support of our PRESIDENT. ROBERT MUGABE, to claim all the white owned farms
in the country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender all their
farms to his party members and his
followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not
support Mugabe’s idea, mugabe’s supporters invaded my father’s farm, killed
my father, made way with a lot of items from my father’s farm and burnt
everything else. After my father’s death, when I was going through his
files, I found out that there is an amount of money which he deposited in a
private security company in Johannesburg, South Africa, as if he knew what
was going to happen in the future. My mother and I,together with my younger
sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe to South Africa. The amount deposited
into the Security Company is US$28.M (TWENTY EIGHT MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS).
I have now decided to contact an overseas person/firm, who will assist me to
move this money out of South Africa because we are asylum seekers here in
South Africa, and the law here does not permit us to exercise financial
rights. If you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you the total
sum of 30% for assisting us to move this money to your country and 10% is
mapped out for the expenses that may be incurred during this transaction and
60% will be for me and my family to invest in you country. I will like you
to furnish me with your personal details, phone number for easy
communication. You can contact me by e-mail.
And modalities on how this transaction will be done shall be revealed to you
once we establish trust
between ourselves. Note: This transaction is 100% risk free and is
absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God Bless.
FREDRICK ZUMA
For the family
