Dear Sir/Madam, It pleases me to draw your attention to this important matter. My name is Magalisa
Zikwe the eldest daughter of Mr. George Marawa Zikwe, of Zimbabwe. I got your contact details from
your country's Chamber of Commerce when I and my brother were making an intensive research for our
investment in your country, and a reliable person who will assist my family to transfer our
inherited money to your country for a family investment, I then decided to contact you to for an
urgent help.
During the current crises against the farmers in my country 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 great
and 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 five days. And after his death,
I and the rest of my family decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives, to South
Africa. BUT, before he died HE WROTE his, "WILL" which says' "(MY BELOVEED DAUGHTER, I WISH TO DRAW
YOUR ATTENTION TO THE SUM OF USD$7.5MILLION {SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS} WHICH
I DEPOSITED WITH THE SECURITY & TRUST COMPANY IN SOUTH AFRICA. IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH
CAUSED BY DEATH ONLY". YOU SHOULD INVEST THIS MONEY INTO A PROFITABLE VENTURE OR SOLICIT FOR A
RELIABLE FOREIGN PARTNER TO ASSIST YOU TO TRANSFER THIS MONEY OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA FOR INVESTMENT
PURPOSES. I DEPOSITED THE MONEY IN YOUR NAME AND YOU CAN CLAIM IT ALONE WITH THE DEPOSIT CODE. YOUR
