ATTN DIRECTOR ,
FAMILY BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
My name is MRS VIVIAN KUMA, the wife of MR. JOHNSON KUMA. from Zimbabwe.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of
our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party
members and his followers, he ordered all white farmer's to surrender all
their farms to his party members and his followers.
My husband is one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not
support Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supporters invaded my husband farm and
burnt everything in the farm, killing my husband and made away with a lot of
items in my husband's farm.
Before his death, my husband had deposited with one of the Security Company
in Johannesburg, South Africa the sum of US$29 Million (Twenty Nine Million
United States Dollars). After the death of my husband, we escaped to the
Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the Security
Company as valuables. Now as a result of our status as assylum (REFUGEE) we
are not allowed to clear of make withdrawl from the consignment in the
security company, we are not also allowed to operate any form of bank
related issue so I decided to contact overseas firms and companies that will
assist me to move this money out of South Africa.
Before contacting you,I sought advice from a reputable lawyer and also a
financial adviser on how best to succesfuly transfer this funds without any
errors. My family have agreed to an offer of 20% of the total sum for your
assistance, 5% will be mapped out for any international and local expenses
that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 75% will be for
me and my family to invest in your country under your supervision
Finnaly,please do not hesitate to indicate your interest and your wllinness
so that I will not make further contacts regarding this project.
Thanks and God bless.
With Lots Of Regards,
MRS.VIVIAN KUMA
(FOR THE FAMILY).
