I must introduce my self; I am MR. MR.DAVID MAGANI from ZIMBABWE, I am the
first and the only son of MR MARK MAGANI. I am presently residing in South
Africa.I got your contact from the South-African Information exchange
(S.A.I.E) in Johannesburg and on behalf of my mother who is a widow MRS.
ANGELA MAGANI I decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum
of US $ 27.5(TWEENTY SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) in your personal or company account. Before my father’s death he
was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers and he was poisoned by the
agents of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabweans opposition party controlled by the
white minority. Before his death he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit
this money to a security and finance company.
This money was deposited in a box as a gemstone to avoid much demurrage from
the security company. This money was earmarked for purchase of new Machine
and chemical for the farms and to establish new farms in Lesotho and the
Swaziland.In this will he specially drew my attention to this sum of US $
27.5(TWEENTY SEVEN MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
that he deposited in a safe box in a private security and Finance Company
here in Johannesburg, South Africa.
IN FACT MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND
QUOTE:
MY BELOVED SON, I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MONEY, WHICH I
DEPOSITED IN YOUR NAME IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY IN
JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH,
YOU SHOULD SOLICIT FOR A RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER TO ASSIST YOU TO TRANSFER
THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE.
>From the above, you will understand that the life and future of my family
depends on this money as much I will be very grateful if you can assist us.
We are now living in South Africa as Asylum Seekers and financial laws of
South Africa does not allow Asylum seekers certain right to such huge amount
of money. In view of this, I can not invest this money in South Africa,
hence I am asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of South
Africa for an ample investment. For your effort I am prepared to offer you
30% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and
international expenses and 65% will be kept by my family and me.
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done and conveyed to you once
we establish trust and confidence between our selves Looking forward to your
reply and please treat as very ugent and confidential
Best regards,
MR DAVID MAGANI.
(FOR THE FAMILY).
