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 Nick Benson through of 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 of the South African Reserve Bank with an
IRREVOCABLE NON WITHDRAWAL INSURANCE CERTIFICATE /ORDER which states that
it is only a foreign appointed 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 get 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 South African Reserve Bank. He also intimated us
of some other vital documents that were meant for his Political campaign in
the next election. He instructed me to take my son and my two daughters
Salome & Angela Benson and 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 South African Reserve Bank Code of Conduct which does not
allow for individual deposit of funds expect on special cases as it a bakers
bank and not commercial bank and 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
INSURANCE AGREEMENT/DEPOSIT, 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 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--(nickbenson2@yahoo.com.cn)--- to enable us proceed in earnest towards
concluding all transaction modalities or you can give me a call through my
son which is . Bear it in mind that our lives solely depend on this life
time 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
