Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2006 10:37:02 +0100
Subject: URGENT
>From Mrs. Evelyn Benson
Address: No 33 Silverton bay Silverton
Pretoria South Africa.
With due respect, trust and humility, I write this letter to you seeking
your help and assistance,
Though its difficult since we have not met before, I got your good contact
from the network online while browsing through website of business
opportunities in your country. I believe that you are capable and reliable
in handling this urgent international transaction of this sort. I am
Mrs.Evelyn Benson, the wife of the comrade Brother Mr. James Benson, the
Zimbabwean former Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a
businessman and politician, in the Zimbabwean political arena. My husband
was the famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabe, s idea of
continuous fight In Democratic Republic of Congo and my father also stood
against the seizure of white owned farms and the distribution of it to the
blacks without compensation on to the white owners. Because of my husband’s
Sincerity he was killed on 14th April 2004 by a planned motor accident from
dissident soldiers suspected to have the backing of the Government and
President Mugabe himself.
Because he did not die immediately and during the course of his treatment
before he died he managed to call me and my son Nelson Benson through one of
the net care officials taking care of him. When we got there he managed to
sneak a written message to us, explaining his condition and also a written
note concerning a $20M funds he deposited in the ESCROW/SUSPENSE ACCOUNT
with an IRREVOCABLE NON WITHDRAWAL INSURANCE CERTIFICATE ORDER/DEPOSITORY
AGREEMENT which states that it is only a foreign appointed
trustee/beneficiary of a NON SOUTH AFRICAN ORIGIN has the power of claims
and that no money will be deducted from the PRINCIPAL SUM until it gets to
the account of the beneficiary overseas and that the only officer who knows
about it is Dr Philip Nosipo who is in charge of private deposit/escrow
accounts in the international Remittance/ foreign operation Department of
the Bank. He also intimated us of some other vital documents that were
meant for his Political campaign in the next election. My husband instructed
me to take my son and my two daughters Salome & Angela Benson to leave
Zimbabwe immediately for our safety, which we have successfully done and now
we are in South Africa were the money is deposited with the bank.
Because of the immigration laws which bars asylum seekers/ refugees like us
to operate any bank account and the fear of the money not raising eyebrows
here in South Africa and the contents of the DEPOSIT AGREEMENT, I decided to
write you seeking your help for this money to be transferred into your
private bank account since you are a foreigner as all arrangements for a
hitch-free transfer have will be fully taken care of by our financial
adviser and the director in charge. And I want to assure you also that this
transaction is 100% risk free, as no other person knows about this deposit
apart from my son and I. As for your reward for your expected assistance we
have resolved to go into partnership with you as soon as the money is
transferred to your nominated account or bank overseas and you will also
take 20% of the total amount, 5% will be used to offset any expenses that
might be incurred in the course of this transaction, while the remaining 75%
will be kept for my family and for the investment with you.
If you are willing to help us I will then give you the deposit code and all
other relevant documents which you will use to put claims to the bank as the
beneficiary so that the bank can process the transfer to your account
without further delays. Please try as much as possible to reach me us ONLY
through this our private email above to enable us proceed in earnest towards
concluding all transaction modalities or you can give me a call through my
son which is +27781312917. Bear it in mind that our lives solely depend on
this lifetime fortune that will be transferred into your account, and I do
hope that the money will be safe when transferred in your account. And
please keep this transaction very confidential and to yourself self alone to
avoid complication until we conclude.
Thank you for your expected co-operation and God bless
Best regards,
Mrs. Evelyn Benson
For the family
