My mother got your contact information through a family friend working in South Africa chambers of commerce and industry. I am Mr Themba Elvis the only son of Mr. Dave Elvis of Zimbabwe; it was the current crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of our President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms to his camp. My father was one of the best farmers to surrender all their farms to his camp. My father was one of the best farmers in my country, because he opposed against MUGABE'S will and ideas, his cambers invaded our farms, burnt everything in those farms, killed my father and looted valuable things.
Meanwhile, before his death, he deposited $20m in safe box of a private security group in JOHANNESBURG in South Africa. He wanted to use this money to buy new machines and tractors, but unfortunately he was killed during the crisis by this bad government. As the only son father documented the documents of this consignment in my name and I am in possession of it all.
Right now we are living in South Africa as political asylum seekers and the financial laws of South Africa dose not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this, we cannot invest this money in South Africa or continue farming that is why I am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of South Africa for investment in your country.
This security group is ready to welcome any person (foreigner). Who has the correct information, which I will give to you immediately if you are interested to do this business with me and be informed that I will come to your place for sharing accordingly? At the conclusion, that is when the money must have been in your account, I propose to give you 25% of the said amount, 70% will be for me and 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties might incur during the operation.
Please, note that this business is 100%risk free, also not for terrorism and my only worry is the safety of this money. Once it gets into your account, I want you to assure me the safety of this. Send to me your private telephone numbers; fax number for confidentiality and for more details of this operation. I assure you that if you show me your readiness and trust in the next (3) days, this business will be concluded. I look forward to your urgent reply by mail. Yours truly, Mr Themba Elvis(For the family
