URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE NEEDED

Dear Sir,

With due respect trust and humility, I write you this proposal, which I
believe will be a great interest to you. I found your contact while I
was
doing a private research in the South African Information exchange in
Johannesburg for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will
assist my
family and Me. That's why I contacted you.

I am Mr Derick Sese Gezi, a Zimbabwean and the son of Mr Christopher
Sese
Gezi, a renowned Farmer in Bulawayo Town in Zimbabwe. I write on behalf
of
the Gezi's family,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
Zimbabwe.
Before the death of my Father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to
Deposit
the sum of US$25.5 Million (Twenty five Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars). In a private security company, as if he foresaw
the
looming danger in
Zimbabwe.This money was deposited in a box as Precious Metals to avoid
any
suspicion from the security company. This amount was meant for the
purchase
of new machineries and chemicals for establishment of a new Commercial
farm
in Swaziland.

The land problem came up when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduced a New Land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white
Commercial farmers and some few Black Commercial farmers. This resulted
to
killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans in the society. In
fact,
a lot of people were killed because of this land reform act for which
my
father is a victim.It is against this background that my family and I
who
are currently staying in South Africa on asylum decided to transfer my
father's money to a foreign Country since the law of South Africa
prohibits
refugees to transact any business with the bank.

I am saddled with this huge responsibility of securing this family and
of
seeking a genuine foreign partner who will provide a foreign account
where
this money could be transferred into as soon as possible for the
investment
of the money. I must also let you know that this transaction is 100%
risk free. If you accept to assist my family and me. All I want from
you is
for you to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg, South Africa so
that
you can open a non-resident account in your name which will aid us in
transferring this money into any account you will nominate overseas.

I have two options, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage
of the
money for the assistance of nominating your account for this
transaction, or
you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of
the
money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to
notify
me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses
that
might be incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not
prefer a
partnership, I am willing to give you 20% of the total money, while 75%
will
be for my family and me.

However, if you are really capable and willing to assist me, please
contact
me immediately on the above email or by telephone number.

Finally, please do treat this matter as urgent and Confidential. For I
intend to leave this country soonest. I expect your urgent response.In
anticipation of your trusted and genuine
assistance I remain,

Yours sincerely

Mr Derrick Sese Gezi

???

He wants you to open an account with your name?
I'm sorry but i would not trust it if I were you. Too many people pulling scams on the net to do that.
If the person were in trouble then he could find another solution other than asking people to open up bank account in their name while he uses them.

I got that one too

Bunch of crap, I got one like that.

I got one exactly like that 3 times from 3 different people, its just spam.

My parents got a letter with the exact same text. They are just trying to steal money from you. SPAM!!!

Something like this first happened, only using Nigeria instead of Zimbabwae. It's a scam, and the original was called the "Nigerian scam" I believe.

I don't recieve those e-mails very often!

nope havent recieved one like that but it's spam

I've received it. It's garbage, useless. Just delete it and block the sender's e-mail adresse.

My mom got the same one. It's worthless, i assure you.

There's a million different variations of that one.

Good stuff. :)

I always wanted one of these e-mails, just so I could do what Something Awful did. It made me laugh.

I got one from an East Asian bank once. And it's not spam. I'm waiting for my money right now.

I got something very similar to that, but I don't quite remember what it was. They also wanted to open an account with my name to split the money or something to that effect. Ignore it.

People who come up with that kind of stuff have way too much time on their hands.
