Subject: Very Urgent Please (Dont Neglect This Mail).
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Compliments of the day, I pray that this letter reach you in good health.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since we never met for
the first time. I am contacting you because of the urgency that this letter
demand, before I proceed allow me to introduce myself. I am Mr. TEDDY ABURI
from the Republic of Zimbabwe, the first son of LATE ENGINEER.MICHAEL ABURI
(A very wealthy farmer but now late) my father was among those murdered in
the ongoing political violence in my country (Zimbabwe).
As a matter of fact I got your contact through your country Trade/Business
Directory here at Johannesburg Chamber of commerce in South Africa, then I
decided to contact you for this serious and urgent transaction believing
you can be able to handle it for me since I am very much interested in
investing into oil, real estate and bank shares in your country through you
after this transaction.
What happened is that before the death of my father he took me to the
neighboring country (South Africa) where he had lodged the sum of
S$28.Million (Twenty-Eight Million United States Dollars) in one of the
private finance & security company as if he foresee the upcoming danger in
Zimbabwe.
This money was packed in a big metallic box and was lodged in the private
finance & Security Company as family valuables to avoid much demurrage bill
when collecting the consignment. This money was my late father's life
savings which was intended to use for the purchase of new machinery and
chemicals for the development of his newly purchased lands in the
neighborhood of Swaziland and Lesotho before his sudden death.
This political crisis started as a result of the defeat to our president Mr.
Robert Mugabe who has totally refused to hand over power to the winning
opposition party after the country's election. The awful president Mr.
Robert Mugabe has being in power for over 23years without good service
delivery to the poor masses).This resulted to the killing and mob action by
his party supporters (ZANUPF) and some lunatics in the society. In fact a
lot of people were killed especially top members of the opposition party
(MDC) which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that I and my younger brother who are
currently staying here in Republic of South Africa under political Asylum
decided to seek for a reliable foreign partner who will assist us to move
our late father's savings to overseas account where we will relocate and
invest the money since the financial law of South Africa prohibit us
(Political Asylum Seekers) to open bank account or to be involved in any
huge financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of South Africa.
However, I am contacting you with a higher trust also believing that you
will not disappoint us in any way when this money finally goes into your
personal bank account. I must also let you know that this transaction is
100% risk free as I have with me all the necessary documents concerning the
money as it was handed over to me by my late father. The modalities to speed
up the onward transfer into your overseas account will be finalized by our
attorney immediately we hear from you.
Finally, I have agreed with my younger brother to Compensate/Reward you for
your assistance and time during this transaction as follows.
(1) We will give you a nonrefundable 25% of the total money (US$28Millio)
and additional 5% to recover any of your minor expenditure as a result of
your assistance during this transaction.
(2) You will also be highly welcome if you will be interested in going into
partnership with us into any lucrative investment that we may chose to
settle down with in your country.
Please if you are interested and can be able to assist us, kindly get back
to us immediately so that we can proceed without further delay because we
want this money to live South Africa as soon as possible. Please forget not
to include your private telephone and fax number for quicker communication.
I will also advice you to maintain the absolute confidentiality of this
transaction until the onward transfer is successfully concluded, just for
security reasons and considering the huge amount that is involved. Feel free
to call me directly on the telephone number below for any urgent question
that you may consider necessary.
Extend our greetings to your loved ones. Have a great day.
Yours Faithfully,
MR. TEDDY ABURI.
