INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP
FROM MR MICHEAL SHABALALA
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA
EMAIL:(michshaba.01@gmail.com)


GOOD DAY

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally; the purpose of my introduction is that, I am Mr. Micheal shabalala the son of Joseph shabalala who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I actual got your contact after going through a business Journal that was given to me from the commercial department of
your embassy. It is my wish to solicit for your assistance towards this regard.

Before the death of my father, he had drew my intention to large sum he deposited with a private security in South Africa . US$25.5Million (Twenty-Five Million Five Hundred Thousand united states Dollars), as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe . This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid exposure since the security company is not authorized to keep cash in custody. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and established of new farm in Swaziland .

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduce a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks farmers that are not in support of the new act. And this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the victim.

It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer the said money to foreign account since the laws of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
throughout the territorial zone South Africa, coupled with the tight relationship between Mugabe and South African president. I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar political history.

I must let you know that this transaction is risk free, incase you are willing to assist us actualize this business, I shall furnish you with more details regarding the arrangement that has been made so far. Be informed that we are ready to give you 20% of the total sum for your
assistance, 5% has also been mapped out to take care of any expenses during the course of the movement of fund, while the balance will be for my family investment.

Contact me with the above e-mail: Telephone number for more details, while I implore you to maintain absolute confidentiality for safety reason.

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Micheal shabalala

Email From Peter Fusi: Yet Another Scam

If an email sounds and looks too good to be true, then it really is too good to be real. It's most likely a scam, so stay away from it! Here's one example:

Subject: Seeking for your help
From email address:
peter_fusi@yahoo.com


- email content -


SEEKING FOR YOUR HELP


PETER FUSI:
CONTACT NO:+27-733469020.
CONTACT EMAIL: peter_fusi@yahoo.com

ATTN:

I am Mr. Peter Fusi, the son of Mr. of late Sir John Fusi, the Re-knowned Zimbabwean wine and cattle farmer. I got your contact courtesy of South Africa network-on-line at the South African chamber commerce.

During the war waged against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and cohorts of President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farmers in our country, my late father's big farms were among those targeted by the ZANU-PF armed group. *In the course of the revolution in ZANU-PF armed group attacked and invaded my father's farm, burned, destroyed and eventually killed him. After my father death last year, I managed to escape to South Africa, because my life was threatened and Zimbebwe was no longer safe for me to stay.

I escaped safely into South Africa with my father's lifetime fortune of US$20m (Twenty Million, US Dollars) cash bonds documents, important documents of property title and other valuables as he instructed to do before he died. The money was concealed by my late father and secured in one treasure box, transported through diplomatic means during the days of my father as I was named next of kin to this fortune. The box is currently, safely secured in the vaults of private security firm.

Presently, I am residing temporarily in Sourh Africa pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by m attorney for the department of home affairs to grant me a politial asylum. I am in a dilemma on how to moe this money safely out of the security company for investments. Moreover due to the South Africa government stringent monetary policies, regulations and the senitive and volatile political status of the region, it would be most dangerous to attempt investments here as such act could jeopardize my chances.

In recognition of your personal executive powers and investment opportunities that abound in your country, I solicit for your assistance in moving this money out of South Africa, you will guide all my future investment in your country and it will be operated on partnership level.

You will be getting 20% of the total investment capital moved to your country, as your share for assistance in transferering this fund out of South Africa and the balance will be plugged into the investment projects. On the receipt of your indication of interest to go into co-operation with me I open up discussion on the best ways to transfer this fund to your country. Please treat this transaction as strictly confidential and contact me with my family e mail.

Thanks fo your co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
PETER FUSI (MR).

Hi,

I know this email would be of great surprise to you which I believe would be of great interest to you. I'm looking for a capable foreign partner that will assist my family and me.

During the current crises against white farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support of our President Robert Mugabe to take over all the white owned farms and my late husband as at then was in joint farm business with a white farmer in our country.

All the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his black party members and his followers. My husband was one of the co-joint farmers in our country and treasury of the farmer's co-operation. He did not support this motive and so the party members invaded my husband's farms and burnt everything in the farm, killed my husband with his white associate and made away with a lot of items in their farm.

After the death of my husband, my child and I decided to move out of Zimbabwe. When we are preparing to leave, I found a file that was containing depository documents of a huge amount of money with one of the Security Company in South Africa for purchasing of agricultural equipment's and chemicals before his date occur. Some money was kept which amounted to 12million dollars. On our arrival to the Republic of South Africa where we issued an asylum permit (Refugee), which by there Government law does not allow us of immediate claim and right due to our political status as Asylum seeker.

I was advice to get an overseas firm whom will assist me to move this money out of South Africa , since we are not permitted at the present to self claim of the money and for the fact that my late husband has a foreign co-business associate. If you consider this proposal, we will give you 25% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out to your country and 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country in any lucrative business of our choice.

If you should accept to assist me, I will need you to come over for more clarification and arrangement on how to move the money to your bank account in your country. Please furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact my son PRINCE THABO on the above telephone number. NOTE: that this transaction is 100% risk free and absolutely confidential.

Thanks and God bless you.
