Subject: TOP URGENT,PLEASE CONTACT
Dear Sir/Madam,
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 Mr. Joshua Benson, Son of the late comrade Mr. James Benson, the
Zimbabwean former Minister for Youth &Gender Equality who is also a
businessman and politician, in the Zimbabwean politics. My father was the
famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabe’s idea of
continuous fight in Democratic Republic of Congo and my 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 father’s
sincerity he was killed by a planned motor accident from dissident
soldiers suspected to have the backing of the Government and President
Mugabe himself.
But he did not die immediately and during the course of his treatment,
before he died he called me and mother, Gloria Benson, and showed us a
ritten note concerning a $20 Million funds he deposited in the
ESCROW/SUSPENSE ACCOUNT of one of the major banks here with an IRREVOCABLE
NON WITHDRAWAL INSURANCE CERTIFICATE ORDER/DEPOSITORY AGREEMENT which states
that it is only a foreign appointed trustee/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 gets to the account of the beneficiary
overseas and that the only officer who knows about it is Dr. Philip Nosipo
who is the head foreign operation, treasury and international Remittance
Department of the Bank.
He also intimated us of some other vital documents that were meant for his
Political campaign in the next election. My father instructed me to take my
mother and my two sisters Valerie & Angela to 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 immigration laws
which stops 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 DEPOSIT AGREEMENT.
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 will be fully taken care of by our gurdian 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
mother 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 and all
other relevant documents 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 use
ONLY through this our private email below, to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding all transaction modalities As soon I acquire a tell
numb, I will send I to you.
Bear it in mind that our lives solely depend on this lifetime 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 alone to avoid complication until we conclude.
