MY NAME IS MRS, JANNETT ROBERTSON OF ZIMBABWE. THIS MIGHT BE A SURPRISE TO YOU ABOUT WHERE I GOT YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS.I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM THE BUSINESS RESEARCH DEPT {COMMERCIAL SECTION} YOUR EMBASSY, WITH HELP OF MY LATE HUSBAND'S LAWYER(ADAMS SMITH).
DURING THE CURRENT WAR AGAINST THE FARMERS IN ZIMBABWE FROM THE SUPPORT OF MUGABE"S IDEAS, MUGABE SUPPOTERS INVADED MY HUSBAND'S FARM AND BURNT EVERYTHING IN THE FARM, KILLING MY HUSBAND AND MADE AWAY WITH A LOT OF COSTLY FARM EQUIPMENTS.IN MY FATHERS FARM.
DURING THE CRISES AND BEFORE MY HUSBAND'S DEATH HE HAD DEPOSITED WITH ONE OF THE FINANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA THE SUM OF US$ 5.5 MILLION DOLLARS,
AFTER MY LATE HUSBAND BURIAL I THERE COVERED THE VITAL DOCUMENTS REGARDING THE DEPOSITION OF THIS FUND. MY FAMILY WE DECIDED TO MOVE TO THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA TO VERIFY WITH SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY WHERE HE HAD DEPOSITED THE MONEY WITH A FINANCIAL SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG.
AT THIS MOMENT WITH THE SITUATION WE CANT INVOLVE A CHARITY ORGANIZATION, BECAUSE THIS IS THE ONLY FURTUNE LEFT FOR THE FAMILY BY OUR LATE FATHER,
WE THEN DECIDED TO LOOK FOR AN OVERSEAS FIRM AND COMPANIES THAT WOULD BE OF ASSISTANCE TO MOVE THIS FUND OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA BECAUSE OUR SITUATION NOW WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO OPERATE ANY BANK ACCOUNT, ESPECIALLY NOT IN LARGE FUND AS THIS OR TO SET-UP A BUSINESS WITHIN SOUTH AFRICA BASED ON THERE POLICIES.MY FAMILY WE HAVE AGREED TO OFFER YOU 25%OF THE TOTAL SUM FOR YOUR KIND ASSISTANCE,5%WILL BE MAPPED OUT FOR ANY EXPENSES THAT MAY BE INCURED IN THE COURSE OF THIS TRANSACTION AND 70%WILL BE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY TO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY WHEN PERMISION IS GRANTED TO US.
FRANKLY, I AM SKEPTICAL ASWELL SINCE FOR NOW YOU ARE STRANGER, BUT I PROMISE YOU BY MY WORD TO KEEP UPRIGHTNESS AND AN KIND HEART TO THIS PROPOSAL YOU WILL BENEFIT POSSITIVELY, I ASSURE YOU.
I MRS, JANNETT AND MY SON MR, BILLS HAVE MUCH TO DISCUSS WITH YOU BUT NOT UNTILL YOU GET BACK TO US OVER THE MAIL OR TELEPHONE, THEN WE DETAIL HOW TO TRANSFER THE FUND TO YOUR DESIGNATED BANK ACCOUNT.
ALL YOU CAN DO FOR NOW IS TO GIVE ME YOUR PERNONAL FAX AND PHONE NUMBER FOR SAFER AND EASIER COMMUNICATION.
NOTE: I PROMISE YOU ONCE MORE YOU ARE NOT RISKING ANYTHING FOR THIS ASSISTANCE, NOT EVEN YOUR JOB OR YOUR POSITION IN YOUR FIRM, EVENTUALLY IF EVERYTHING GO WELL , I HOPE YOU MEET MY FAMILY.
THANKS AND GOD BLESS AS I HOPE TO HERE FROM YOU.
BEST REGARDS
MRS,JANNETT AND MR BILLS ROBERTSON
