Sir,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you
irrespective of the fact that you do not know me, but
please do consider this letter as a request from a widow
and family in dare need of assistance
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since
you don't know me personally. I am Mrs Sarah Olds,wife of
Late Mr Martin Olds,a famous zimbabwean farmer who was
murdered in a
farmland dispute in Zimbabwe.Please go through:
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html

I got your contact through a search on the internet here in
South Africa. I do not know your person but I am relying on
faith to see me through.

During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the
supporters and cohorts of President Robert Mugabe to claim
all the white owned farms in our country, my late husband
belonged to one of the classes of farmers also
targeted by the ZANU-PF armed group, because he did not
support their ideas and policies of taking white farmers
land by force.


Black war veterans claiming to be farmers, invaded my
husband's house on April 17, 2000 at about 8.35p in
Macheke/Virginia district and murdered him
because of his insistence that white farmers be allowed to
retain their farmlands despite the recently introduced land
reforms "Act" in Zimbabwe by the
head of state,President Robert Mugabe. Until his death he
was one of the prominent members of the Zimbabwean Farmers'
Union (ZFU).

But before my husbands death, he first escaped safely into
neighbouring
South Africa with his life time fortune of
US$37m(Thirty-seven Million US dollars)cash, important
documents of property title and other valuables which were
concealed and secured in a trunk box, and transported to
Johannesburg through diplomatic means. The consignment box
is currently safely lodged and secured in the vaults of a
private security firm here in Johannesburg after which he
returned to zimbabwe while he was killed. The fund was
meant for the purchase of new tractors,machinery and
agro-allied chemicals for our new farms acquired in
Swaziland.

This land problem came when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act "Modus Operandi" reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers. A
lot of people were killed because of this land reforms
"Act" of which my late husband was one of the main targets.
My husband was solely targeted because of his support for
the white farmers.

Based on this,I had to flee the country with my two
children and my only surviving senior brother Mr
Christopher Munya.We are now in south africa as political
assylum seekers.
We decided to contact you to assist us in removing
this money my husband kept in a private security company
here in south africa to your account or any part of the
world for
investments as the monetary/investment laws here in south
africa prohibits
refugees from operating bank accounts or be involved in any
transaction/investment. Based on this, we are contacting
you
hoping that you will assist us with this transaction.

As a widow, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine and an honest person who will assist us in
investing this money in a highly profit
yeilding ventures without the knowledge of my
country(Zimbabwe) government who are bent on taking
everything my late husband had after confiscating all his
farmlands and investments in Zimbabwe . We are
absolutely
left with nothing except the money deposited in a private
security company.

In recognition of your personal executive powers and
investment opportunities that abound in your country, I
solicit for your assistance to us by moving my family money
into your country/ bank account for safekeeping pending our
future arrival for investments in your country.

The family has resolved to adequately offer a share of of
15% of the money to you for your involvement and assistance
to our family in moving the entire
money out of South Africa.


Please contact me through my e-mail address indicated above
or below if this proposal is of interest to you or call my
brother Mr Christopher Munya on telephone
number+27-829-708343..while I implore you to maintain
absolute confidentiality required in this transaction. If
not, then I humbly apologise for this infringement on your
privacy.

Respectfully,

Mrs Sarah Olds.

Greetings

How are you and your family I hope that you are all okay? I want to ask you,
If you are not capable to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set
up a new Bank a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can
serve to receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till
the end for this important business trusting in you and believing in God
that you will never let me down either now or in future.

I am the Auditor in charge of international transaction in
one of the biggest bank here in South Africa. During the
course of our auditing, I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in
the bank in 1996 and since 1998 nobody has operated on this account again,
after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the
owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating
and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for
nothing. The owner of this account Mr. Victor Ratnavale a British, who
unfortunately lost his life in the plane crash of Swiss Air Flight Number
111 which crashed on 2nd September 1998, including his wife. You shall
readmore news about the crash on visiting this site;
http:http://www.newscotland1398.net/lunenco/swissbaysw.html.
No other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the
account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that the account is a secret account.

The total amount involve is Eighteen million Six Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars only [$18,600,000.00] and we wish to transfer this money into
a safe foreigners account abroad. But I don't know any foreigner, I am only
contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a
local person here, but to a foreigner who has information about the account,
which I shall give to you upon your positive response. I am revealing this
to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business,
you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this
business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step
to take urgently.

I need your strong assurance that you will never let us
down, me and a key bank official who is deeply involved
with me in this business. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed
under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the
law. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this
money leaving no trace to any place. I will use my position and influence to
obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account
with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange
departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 30%
of the total amount, 70% will be for us. Further details
awaits your earliest reply. PLEASE, TREAT THIS PROPOSAL AS
TOP SECRET. I expect your response of interest through my private e mail
address. This is a confidential and private. I wait immediate response.

Best Regards,

Nellie Bosman

woah spam emails! what will they think of next@?!?!?

Haha, i've seen this one before, had some fun with it.

My friend (very gullible and stupid) got it and thought it was real, and he was talking to me and another mate about whether he should "do it" or not. Were like "Yeah man, go ahead! What do you have to lose." So being the cruel person I am me and my mate did the typical "Ring up and pretend to be him". So my mate picked up the phone, called him, put on a very South African voice, and talked to him. He believed this (even with the laughing at the background). To cut a long story short, we called him again, but he figured out it was us. He was still considering doing it afterwards.

South Africa with his life time fortune of
US$37m(Thirty-seven Million US dollars)cash,

lol a farmer with $37m...also he got all this money and cant buy some decent security!??!
lol these emails always make me laugh
