Attention: Good friend,
I know that you will surely assist me as you have all the resources to
help in this problem of mine. personally. let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.jones wimpy. The manager to Mr.David Stevens, a wealthy white farmer who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe
which I have no doubt you may be aware if you have read the BBC or CNN news online. Some documented pictures of this incident, you can view
at:

I got your contact through network online hence decided to write to you for a business proposal that will benefit both of us. Before the death of my Boss, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US $18M (Eighteen million United States Dollars) in one of the Private Security Companies due to the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as his foreign partners family valuables to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines, chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act reform, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted in the killing and
mob action of Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
In fact a lot of people were killed because of this land reform act of which my master was one of the victims. It is against this background that I took all the legal documents involved and came down to South Africa and decided to seek for an honest foreign businessman, whom I can entrust this fund to; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. And all the documents are with me, here in South Africa. If you accept to assist me, I will send you the
procedure for the claiming of the consignment.This money I intend to use for my investment and growth in your country. I have two options for you; firstly, you can have 30% of the money for your assistance and 5% for any expenses on both sides and 65% for me. Or you can go into partnership with me in your country.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible. I am daring need to leave this country since I cannot invest the amount here in South Africa due to their restrictions on Asylum Seekers.Thanking you in anticipation of your kind understanding and immediate
response to my private email address.(joneswimpy@websurfer.co.za)
Regards,
Mr.jones wimpy
