Dear Sir / Madam
sirpretoria
HUMBLE ASSISTANCDear sir,
My name is james Moyo the elder son of Mr.Anthony Moyo of Zimbabwe This might be a surprise to you about where I got your contact.
A career diplomat who I consulted in my search for a reliable individual/company who can assist me in transferring a reasonable sum of money abroad to a company or private account introduced your firm to me.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe
from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father is one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support Mugabe's ideas,Mugabe's supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm ,killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
Before his death, my father had deposited with one of the finance Company in PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA ,the sum of US$35.7m
After the death of my father, we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the finance Company as family valuables.
So I decided to contact overseas firm and companies that will assist me to move this money out of South Africa because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate any bank account
We have agreed to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 2% will be mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this transaction and 78% will be for me and my family to invest in your country
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your entire
Personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact me on the above ,family Email: jamesmoyo2002@myway.com
Note that this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thanks and God bless.

MR.james Moyo for the family_______________________________
