Attn: Sir/Madam
I know how surprise you will feel in receiving this important proposal
through mail since we don't know each other before,it's because of the
confidentiality of this transaction.
With due respect,trust and humility,I sent this proposal to you, which I
believe would be of great interest to us in near future. I found your
contact while I was doing a private research on the internet for a reliable
and capable foreign partner that will assist me and my family. I am
MRS.AMINA AMED the wife of ALHAJI USMAN AMED of ZIMBABWE.
During the current war against farmers in ZIMBABWE and from the support of
our PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farm in our
country,all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his
party members and his followers. My husband who was one of the successful
farmers in our country and tresurer of the farmer's co-operation did not
support his idea and because of that the party members invaded my husband's
farms and burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband and made away with
a lot of items in my husband's farm.
After the death of my husband, my children and I decided to move out of
ZIMBABWE because our lives were in danger with the money that my husband
kept in his hidden safe in my house. The amount contained in the safe is
US$24M (TWENTY FOUR MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS)and we decided to code
the money and move to the REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA where we deposited the
money in a security company as a valuable item.
So we decided to make contact with an oversea firm whom will assist us to
move this money out of SOUTH AFRICA, because we are PRESENTLY REFUGEES
(Asylum seekers) here in SOUTH AFRICA. So if you consider this proposal, we
have agreed to give you 30% of the total sum for helping us to move this
money out to your NOMINATED account in your country and 65% will be for me
and my family to invest in your country,and 5% will be for any expenses that
might arise during the transation and you will be a partner in business as
we have little or no Idea about international business. We will like you to
furnish us with your phone number for easy communication.
Pls.Contact us and send your phone number my son Mohamed Amed Jnr will get
back to you since He knows everything about the transaction .
NOTE:THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTELY CONFIDENTIAL.
Thanks and hope to read from you soon.
Best regards,
MRS AMINA AMED
(for the family)
