FAMILY REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Greetings!
My name is Mr. Umara Dekko {Jr.}, the elder son of Mr. Jamata Dekko of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address; I got your contact address from the south African chambers of commerce. During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms and the few black farmers who are against his party in our country, he ordered all the white and black farmers who are against his system of leadership to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president’s political ideology, the president supporters invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated all his investments. After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took along with us the money my father kept in the safe in my mother’s house, which amounted to the sum of US$32 Million United States Dollars to the Republic of South Africa. The funds are presently being kept away in the secret vaults of a private security firm based here in Johannesburg.
My mother and I have decided to contact any reliable overseas firm/person who could assist us to transfer this money out of The Republic of South Africa, because we as asylum seeker here in South Africa cannot open a non-resident account through which this fund will be channelled out, this is why we need you to travel down to south Africa to open a non-resident bank account in your name where the fund will be deposited before on-ward transfer to your nominated overseas account. If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 3o% of the total fund, 70% will be for me and my family to invest in your country under your supervision. All expenses incurred will be deducted from the 70%. For detailed information, you can contact me.
Best Regards,
Umara Dekko.
