DEAR FRIEND.
I am Mrs.Brigenth Abala. First wife of Engineer Solomon Abala,

Solomon Kabala, while my only son and I are now resident in
South Africa as Asylum seeker (REFUGEE). I got your contact
through South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry. With
your contact profile, I hope that you can take care of the amount involved.
I have some huge amount of money, which I inherited from my dead
husband a few years ago. My husbands tragedy occurred when
the Zimbabwe government took our farm from us. My husband was
murdered in Zimbabwe and I am the only left two wives, so I am
willing to leave South Africa for any place abroad. My fund is
presently deposited with a Security Company without disclosing
the contents of the box to the Security Firm, and
I would like you to help me transfer
this money overseas pending investment. The amount deposited is
(Eighteen Million United States Dollars) US$18.
In consideration of your assistance,
I and my lawyer have agreed to offer you, upon acceptance to
this proposal 25% of the total sum and 5% has mapped out to cover all
sundry expenses both parties might incur, locally or internationally,
during the course of this transaction. And the remaining 70% will be
for me and my only son for our life investment in your country.
I will relate to you my lawyers particulars upon receipt of your
approval for more information and fell free to ask questions you
consider relevant. The confidentiality of
this proposal will be highly appreciated.
You can contact my son with this number +27 83 4377 669.
Thank as we await your urgent response.
Best Regards,
MRS. BRIGENTH ABALA.
