Dear Sir,

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not
know me
personally. I am Mr.Jeff Mabuza,The first son of Mr.Mary Mabuza, a
wealthy
business man who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe
which
i have no doubt you may be aware if you listen to either BBC or CNN.
Some
documented pictures of this incident, you can view at
http://www.cnn.com/2001/WORLD/africa...ence.zimbabwe/

http://www.guardian.co.uk/zimbabwe/a...562148,00.html

I got your contact through network online hence decided to write to you
for
a business proposal that will benefit both of us. Before the death of
my
father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US $10.5
(TEN
MILLION,FIVE HUNDERED UNITED STATE DOLLARS) in one of the Private
Security
Companies as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money
was
deposited in a box as gemstones to avoid much demurrage from the
Security
Company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines,
chemicals
for the farms and establishment of new farm in Swaziland.

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act reform, which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted in the killing and
mob
action of Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.In
fact a
lot of people were killed because of this land reform act of which my
father
was one of the victims. It is against this background that my family
and I
are currently in South Africa and decided to transfer my fatherÂ’s
money to
a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from
opening any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
throughout the territorial zones of Southern Africa.

As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with responsibility of
seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred into
without
the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything. All I
seek
for is an honest businessman or woman, whom I can entrust my future and
that
of my family; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100%
risk
free. If you accept to assist us, we will embark without further delay
on
the next step for the transfer of this money out of South Africa based
on
the arrangements I have made so far.

This money I intend to use for my investment and growth in your
country. I
have two options for you; firstly, you can choose to have certain
percentage
of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you
can go
into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the
money
in your country. Whichever options you want feel free to notify me. I
have
also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might
incur in
the process of this transaction.

If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give 25% of the
money
while the remaining 70% will remain for my family and I. If you are
really
capable and willing to assist me please email me with email address
above
or call me with above telephone number.While reply please, i need your
private telephone number and fax number for an essy and effective
communication.

Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible. I am daring
need to
leave this country since I cannot invest the amount here in South
Africa due
to their restrictions on Asylum Seekers. But if on the contrary you
cannot
assist, please keep my having contacted you confidential.Thank you in
anticipation of your kind understanding and immediate response.

Best Regards,
Mr.Jeff Mabuza

For the family.

He said that his father was recently murdered, but the websites he refferes to is dated 2001.. :lol:

These NIGERIANS SCAMS :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Do they think we are Dummies :?:

Amazingly, people STILL fall for this. Which is, frankly, bizarre.

I read somewhere...that Nigerian scam business is officially sponsored and supported by the Nigerian government. they actually employ people to do this, run and staff offices solely for this business. Furthermore, it makes up for as much as 1/3 of the total foreign income of the nation.

I tried it just for fun to see how far they would go. Well, they phoned me...at their cost, to my cell phone. They provided faxes of certified documents...they will basically do anything u want ....to convince you to do the final step...which is to send them a fairlly substantial sum of money!

Then they of course .....dissappear.

Check out http://www.419eater.com/ for much hilarity.

I get these and varients on these at least 3 times a day to my junk e-mail address

I keep getting them,too.It's just laughable,now.

Nigerians are probably having a good laugh at us investing in P**S too !!

Thanks for your replies people...

I recieved another one....
And this one I recieved on a e-mail-adress that I made to recieve some information from this forum. And its not been showed somewere else...

( "REMITTANCE OF $15 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS
CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE")
Compliment Of The Season,

On a very good day. I am (MUSA GARUBA) a senior
staff in file
department in African developent bank (ADB).I got your
contact from a Yahoo Tourist Search.

When i was searching for a foreign partner i assured of
your capability
and reliability to champion this businees opportunity when
i prayed to
God or Allah about you.In my department we discovered an abandoned sum
of $ 15 million U.S.A dollars ( fifteen million U.S.A dollars) . In an
account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with
his entire family in (Monday 31St July 2000) in a plane crash. Since we
got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin
to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless
somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as
indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the
plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I and one official in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to
you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and
subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don’t
want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.
The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such
money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be
transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkinabe cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We
agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in
respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for
;me and my woman colleague. There after I and my colleague will visit
your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

Therefore to enable the immediate trnansfer of this fund to you as
arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account
number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective
communication and location where the money will be remitted.Upon receipt
of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the
application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required
arrangements have been made for the transfer.

You should contact me on my number 00226-76524743
immediately as soon
as you receive this letter. Trusting to hear from you
immediately.

Your’s faithfully,

MUSA GARUBA

POST SCRITUM:You have to keep everything secret as to
enable the
transfer to move very smoothly in to the account you will
prove to the
bank.As you finished reading this letter call me
immediately so that we
discuss very well over this business.Please call me and
inform me that you
received my mail, because i don't go to net always.

They have programs scanning the net for email addresses. I once opened a new address which I sent to a private association for the Members list on their website. Three days later I got the first Nigerian letter to that address.
