(compliment of the day***)
I humbly wish to seek your assistance in a matter that is very important and needs utmost trust and confidence. I am Mrs. Monica Moyo, the wife of Late Mr. Clement Moyo, 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 husband, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of (US$8,500,000.00) Million Eight Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, in one of the private finance house, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as Valuables to avoid much demurrage from finance house.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and 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 wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. And 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 reform Act for which my husband Late Mr. Clement Moyo was one of the victims.
It is against this background that my family is currently staying in South Africa decided to invest the aforementioned sum in viable businesses overseas since the law here in South Africa prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of South Africa. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money here in South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future both countries have similar political history If you agree to act as a fund manager for me and my family, I shall release the sum of (US$8,500.000.00) Million United States Dollars to you if you meet my requirements. The money is available in cash in a safe trunk deposited with a private finance house, and upon a favorable response from you, I shall let you know how you will receive it.
Your commission shall be down payment of 25% of the total sum, and 10% will be map out for any expenses made during this transaction then the remaining 65% will be for the family and for investment in your country Thereafter, the terms shall be varied.
If you are capable and willing to participate in this transaction please send the following information:
1). Your full name and address.2). Your age and occupation.3). Your personal telephone and fax number.4). Your company name and address (if you have any).
ANXIOUSLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU. BEST REGARDS MRS. MONICA MOYO. (FOR THE FAMILY)
