Attn: Sir/Madam,
With due respect, trust and humility, I am writing to you this proposal;
which I believe it will be of a great opportunity to us. I found your
contact while I was doing a private research on the internet for a reliable
and capable foreign partner that will assist us.
After the death of my father Mr. David Hobson, I decided to move out of
Zimbabwe to reside in South Africa where I seek a political asylum as a
refugee. Before his death, he deposited the sum of US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty
Million United State Dollars) in one of the private security company in
South Africa, as if he foreseen the looming danger in my country Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage
from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for his farms and established of new farm in
Swaziland and Mozambique..
I have tried to open bank account here but no avail due to our refugee
status as Asylum Seeker, the law of South Africa does not permit us to
operate a bank account neither to invest. As a result of that, the banker
who wants to help us on the transfer advised us to engage a foreign partner
who will help us open a non-residential account on his/her name where the
money will be deposited for onward transfer to overseas.
So if you consider this proposal, i will give you 30% of the total sum for
helping us to move this money out of South Africa and 70% will be for me
and my family to invest in your country. Finally, as soon as you have
indicated your interest and capability to handle this transaction then I
will details you the modality. Please contact me on my email address for
more details [email protected]
Best Regards,
Anthony Hobson.
