Subject: URGENT FAMILY PROPOSAL
FROM MRS.MARIAM SHIRUWA
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
ATTEN CEO,
URGENT FAMILY PROPOSAL
I know how surprise this letter will come to you, but I would advice that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance. I am MRS.MARIAM SHIRUWA the wife of late MR. JAMES SHIRUWA of Gwanda town in Zimbabwe . Your contact information came to me from your country's trade journal during my search for a reliable and God fearing person that can assist me and my only son, and I quite believe that you can be of great help in this regard even if I am not acquainted to you before.
The business involves the transfer of Eighteen Million United State Dollars Only (USD$18. 000.000.00) into your account for safe keeping. This fund is inherited from my late husband who was assassinated by the president's (MR ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and property during the crisis on October 22nd.2001 which lead to the killing and banishing of foreign (white) farmers. After the death of my husband on October 22nd.2001 (A day I can never forget) I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late husband had filed a document with him which stipulates his "WILL". In the "WILL" he specifically pointed and I quote,
Darling, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Eighteen Million United State Dollars (USD$18.000.000.00) which I deposited with a Security Company in Johannesburg South Africa with all the documents filed by our lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to transfer the money out of there (South Africa ) for investment purposes. I have saved this money to make the future of my only son " MR.FRANK SHIRUWA "and his mother my wife. Immediately the government started eyeing my business and involvements with the white farmers.
From the above, you will understand that my future especially the future of my son depends on this money and as such I will be grateful if you can assist us in transferring this fund to your account overseas for our investments. You can contact my son "MR. FRANK SHIRUWA" in South Africa , as he will direct you with our finacial adviser to arrange the modalities of transferring this fund without any hitch. For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 25% of the total money, 40% will be for a joint business venture we will be doing with you, 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incurred during the transaction and the remaining 30% will be kept for us under your care till we arrive in your country. Please I want to tell you that my family living here in South Africa is not comfortable with us especially my only son FRANK. God bless you for your anticipated understanding and co-operation.
Please don't hesitate to contact my son FRANK as he will direct you with our Financial adviser to arrange the modalities of transferring this fund without any hitch.
MR. FRANK SHIRUWA
