(URGENT ASSISTANCE)
My name is MICHAEL DANKWA, the elder son of Mr KENETH DANKWA of zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address. I got it from network online. During the current crises against the farmers of
Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did not support the president's political ideology. The president's
supporters invaded my father's farm burnt down everything, shot him and as a result of the wounds sustained, he became sick and died after two days. And after his death, My mother and I with two of my younger sisters decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.
Before he died,he wrote his " WILL", which reads"
MY BELOVEED SON, I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF ( 20.5 MILLION U.S DOLLARS ) WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A BOX WITH A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG(SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY
DEATH ONLY. YOU SHOULD SOLICIT FOR A RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER TO ASSIST YOU TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH-AFRICA FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSE. I DEPOSITED THE MONEY IN YOUR NAME AND IT CAN BE CLAIMED BY YOU ALONE WITH THE DEPOSITE CODE. YOUR MOTHER HAS ALL THE DOCUMENTS. TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR MOTHER AND TWO SISTERS.
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South-Africa as POLITICAL ASYLUM SEEKERS and
the financial law of SOUTH-AFRICA does not allow ASYLUM SEEKERS certain financial rights to such huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South-Africa, hence I am asking you to assist me
transfer this money out of South-Africa for investment purposes.
For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 75% will be kept for my family and I.(ME).
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
Looking forward to your urgent reply Through the above e-mail or phone number + 27 76 393 7925 .
Regards,
MICHAEL DANKWA.
FOR THE FAMILY.
