5 NELSON STREET SANTON,
JOHANSBOURG,
SOUTH AFRICA,
TELL: 27-73-557-3380.
ATTNTION: DIRECTOR/C E O,
My name is Ambros Sotho the son of Mr. Raphael Sotho of Zimbabwe. This might
be a surprise to you about how I got your contact information; I got your
address from a secure Internet database during my search for a foreign
business partner who will assist me in transferring and investing my family
fortune.
During the current Land invasion problem by President Mugabe and his Zanu-PF
party in Zimbabwe. Mugabe repossessed most of the White owned farms. My
father also lost his tobacco farm because he did not support the Zanu-PF and
Mugabe in their action. My father was latter murdered on his attempt to
fight for his farm. All our family valuables were eventually burnt down.
Before this event my father come to South Africa and deposited his life
saving of 20Million USD in my name in a private Security Company in
Johannesburg as family treasure.
My sister and I had to run down to South Africa to seek asylum. Due to my
desperation to secure this money, I was obliged to seek for a foreign
partner to help me in transferring and investing this money. My status here
as an asylum seeker does not permit me to operate any form of bank account
or any form of business. I am also worried because President Mugabe also has
some of his strong allies located here in South Africa.
All I want you to do is to furnish me with your personal phone and fax
number for easy communication; you also contact me on the above telephone
number and also email address.
this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.
Thank and GOD bless you
Best regards,
Mr.Ambros Sotho.
