Subject: MASSAGE FROM SOUTH AFRICA
 

Hello

My name is ARTHUR MAKURA, the elder son of Mr. LEWIS MAKURA of Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address from,I got it from the South Africa Information Network Online(SAINL)/South Africa Trade Center (SATC).

During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, 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 my younger Brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives to South-Africa.

BUT, before he died HE WROTE HIS WILL ,which reads "(MY BELOVED SON ,I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF $18.7 MILLION U.S DOLLARS WHICH I DEPOSITED IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG (SOUTH-AFRICA). IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY".you should solicit for reliable foreign partner to assist you to  invest this money out of SOUTH-AFRICA .

 I deposited the money in your Name "ARTHUR MAKURA" and it can be claimed by you alone with the deposit code, your mother has all the documents,Take good care of your mother and brother." From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depends largely on this money as such, 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 us  to invest this money out of South-Africa  . For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 30% of the total fund, while 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 65% will be kept for my family and I.Under your guidance.

Finally ,modalities on how the transaction will be done will be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
Looking forward to your urgent reply

NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY . THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.

All the best,

ARTHUR MAKURA(for the family)
