Subject: Assist Me And My Family
FROM: DR WILLIAM HANS
ADD:2-3 Nelson Mandela Avenue, Sandton City, Johannesburg, South Africa. TEL:27-733 935 626
Dear Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am DR WILLIAM HANS,the first son of Mr.BENSON HANS , who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$25 Million(Twenty five Million United States Dollars), in one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a 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 to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father’s money to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction througout the teritorial zones of South Africa.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred into without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything.
All i seek for is an honestn businessman, whom I can entrust my future and that of my family , i must also let you know that this transaction is 100%risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family all I want from you is for you to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg – South Africa, so that you can help me open a non-resident account in your name which will aid us in transferringthe money into any account you will nominate overseas.
This money I intend to use for investmentand growth in your country.I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction, Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incure in the process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will remain for me and my family.
If you are realy capable and willing to assist me please contact me immediately with the above Tel, or this e-mail address with which i have sent you this message. Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible, i'm in dire need to leave this country soonest.Thanks for your mutual co-operation,
Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. The money is presently lodged with a security firm and I will give you further details immediately I hear from you. Please contact me immediately for the next line of action then I will introduce you to the security company where the funds are been deposited.
I would like you to include your personal phone and fax numbers for more confidential Communication with the Security Company. I expect your soonest response.
Kind Regards,
E-mail williamhans10@yahoo.caMr.DR WILLIAM HANS
