Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTAIL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
FROM MR JAMES THABOJOHANNESBURG,SOUTH AFRICA.
EMAIL; jamesthabo1@hotmail.com
ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O,
I have the honour and confidence to introduce to you this business in view of the fact that you are trustworthy and reliable in business. Obviously, you will be surprised to read this letter from me consider it as a request from a family in dear need of foreign assistance.
I got your contact information through a family friend working in South Africa chambers of commerce and industry. I am Mr. JAMES THABO, the son of Mr. EDWIN THABO 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. And 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 US$25 million, (TWENTY FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS CASH) in safe box of a private security company 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 elder son, my father documented the document 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 does not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this, we cannot invest this money in South Africa or continue farming; this is why I am asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment in your country.
I propose to give you 25% of the said amount, 70% will be for me and my family, and 5% will be set aside for any expenses both parties might insecure during the transaction.
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 information, your full name and address, a copy of your international passport for identification, your bank account where the money will be transferred,.
I believe that it is (GOD) who join us together for this transaction, and I also pray for (GOD) to give us the spirit of been honest to ourselves by the successful end of this transaction.
I wait for your urgent response.
Regards,MR JAMES THABO(For the family.)
