FROM MRS MARIAM SITHOLA

PHONE+ 27- 83-717-0081

ANT\ Dear Sir;

CONFIDENTIAL


You may be surprise to receive this letter since you do not know me personlly; but for the introduction;Iam Mrs.Mariam Sithola; the wife of DR.SIPHO SITHOLA,who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through the SOUTH AFRICA information exchange [S.A.I.E.]here in South Africa and I decided to write for your assistance.

MY late husband was the few black Zimbabwe farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the rulling Goverment of PRESSIDENT ROBERT MUGABE.for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white poeple. Before his death, he took me to Johnnesburg to deposit US$42 Million[forty two million united states dollars] only with a security company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The fund was deposited in one box as consignment and was declared as family treasure,with the security company to avoid seizure and also to avoid high demurrage from security company.


This fund was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and chemical for the farms and establishment of new farm in Lesotho and Swaziland. The land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act which wholly afected the white farmers and some few black vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the Goverment,th resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the war veterans and some poltical thugs. precisely,more than 31 people have killed.Head of Government from the western world, especilly Britain and United States of America have voiced the condemnation of Mugabe's plan. Subsequently;the South African Development community[S.A.D.C]has continuosly supported Mugabe's new land reform acts.It is against
this background that my family and I who are currently staying in South Africa into a foreign account.


AS his wife,I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign acount where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who has tactically frozen my family's wealth and the SOUTH AFRICAN GOVERNMENT seems to be playing along with me. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in the same experience in future since both countries have the same political history. Moreso, the south African foreign policy does not allow such investment since we are asylum seekers.

AS a business man whom I must entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. Therefore, if you accept to sssist my family and I,we are willing to give you 25% of the total sum for your assistance,70% will be for my family and I, while 5% will be used for all expenses,but you should know that this business is highly confidential and such must be kept within us.


Best regard,


MRS.MARIA SITHOLE

Well, apparently Mrs. "Sithola" cannot even sign her name properly at the end of her "professional" letter. :rolleyes:
ROTFLMAO for a moment i thought it was shithole
 
If you believe something like this maybe you deserve an empty bank account. :p I wonder if any of these scams work. Its probably the best story for a scam Ive ever heard though :p
 
the best? not just yet. read the one i got this morning. i think there are a lot of variations of this kind of scam huh. funny thing is i got this in my college email account. they think a college student would have this amount of money?

btw see how they put $22,000.000 (notice that this is 22 thousand dollars, but the written text says 22 million. hah.)

--

[oh man, scary, they kill people with this stuff. i removed the email text. i'm a wuss. :p ]

--

and the email is sent, not surprisingly, from travisnkala@netscape.net, rather than a more secure email address, for a letter of this type (if it was real).

I don't know why they would have to go to Zimbabwe in the first place. Most of the people running these scams probably aren't even from Africa in the first place. You can see this immediately from the rather lackluster knowledge of African culture and history in their letters.
 
Just two of a few I receive every day of the same ilk :bandit2:

Attention : Sir/Madam

Since then, I have made a lot of unsuccessful attempts and enquiries to many People and also to your Country's Embassy here in Nigeria just to Locate any of my client's immediate and extended relatives, but all efforts seems to prove abortive.
I am contacting you to assist in claiming the sum of US$25 Million in cash which the deceased deposited in United Bank for Africa Plc.in Nigeria.

Much as I have been unsuccessful in locating any of the desceased relatives of for over one year now, I therefore seek your indulgence to present you as the next of kin to the deceased so that the proceed from this deposit valued at Us$25 million can be released to your account over there and I collect 65% while you collect 30% while 5% will be set aside for any expenses which might result from the transfer.

The transaction is quite a legitimate one,st100% risk free and highly confidential .You will only have to open an account for the lodgment of the money in your country, after which, I will come to your country for the sharing.
Upon your acceptance and indication of interest to work with every other important details as it affects the bank and the transfer of the fund shall be communicated to you without further delay as the Bank is working under a schedule.

I shall provide all legal documents to butress and to support the claims so long as you what us to work as a team.

Please I'm really waiting for your good mail response as I count on you for help.


Thanks,

Hon.Mayor Ndukwe.

Australian oil consultant/contractor with the Shell oil overseas. Mr Ron Denis made a numbered
time (fixed)deposit for twenty-four calender months valued at USD$12,400,000.00 (twelve million
four hundred thousand dollars} in my branch.Upon maturity,i sent a routine notification to his
forwarding address but got no reply.After a month we sent a reminder and finally we discovered
from his contract employers the Shell oil overseas that Mr Ron Denis died from an automobile
accident.

On further investigation i found out that he died without making a (WILL) and all attempts to
trace his next of kin was fruitless.I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr
Ron Denis did not declare any next of kin or relations in all his official documents including his
bank deposite paper work in my bank.This sum of USD$12,400,000,00 is still sitting in my bank and
the interest is beign rolled over with his principal sum at the end of each year.No one will ever
come forward to claim it.

According to the Nigerian law at the experation of three years,the money will revert to the
ownership of the Nigerian Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.Consequently my proposal
is that i will like you as a foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr Ron Denis so that the
fruites of this old man's labour will not get into the hands of some corrupt Government officials.

This is simple,i will like you to provide immedietelly your full names and address so that the
attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits,which will put you in place as the
next of kin.
We will employ the service of two attornies for drafting and notarization of the (Documents)and to
obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration in your favour of USD12.4
Million for the transfer.We would need you as a foreigner acting as the next of kin and sole
benefactor to the inheritance of Mr Ron Denis TO CLAIM THESE FUNDS .The money will be paid to you
for us to share in the ratio of (60% OF US$12.4M) for me and (40% of US$12.4M)for you however i
will take care of all the responsibilities here to make sure you receive the money.I want you to
give me some kind of assurance that after the completion of this arrangement we shall keep my own
60% as agreed.

NOTE; There is no risk or failure at all as i have great confidence in this transation, it will be
done by the attorney and my"position" as the branch manager guarantees the 100% succesful
execution of this particular transaction.If you are interested,please reply immediately through my
