Attn; Director/Ceo
Urgent Request for Business Partnership ;
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal, which I believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist my family to transfer funds to his/her personal or company bank account for investment purposes. I am John Garange, 27 years old, the first son of Late Mr. Peter Garange of blessed memory and the “Late Chairman” of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe .
My late father was among the few blacks that were murdered in cold blood by the President Robert Mugabe’s autocratic administration during the land dispute that just happened in Zimbabwe . After his death, we decided to move out from Zimbabwe because our live were in danger and insecure as my father was the target and we reasoned that our continued stay in Zimbabwe would eliminate our dear lives, thus we flew the country to South Africa.
Before his death, he went to South Africa and deposited the sum of Forty million United States Dollars (USD40m) in a private security company in Johannesburg . This money was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland and Lesotho . Before his death, he was also a major share holder of companies in Zimbabwe .
After he died, we moved to South Africa with all the necessary documents related to this fund. We are here now as asylum seekers and as such the laws of South Africa do not permit us to operate or open any bank account here or be involved in any financial transaction with any bank. That is why we contacted you so that we would transfer the money (now in security company) to your bank account as we have planned for the successful transfer.
We are ready to compensate you with 10% of the total funds for accepting to assist us, 5% will be used for any unforeseen situation during the transfer while 85% will be for my family’s investment in your country.
Should you be ready to assist us as explained, kindly contact me on the above phone number or email me on johngarange02@xxxxxxxx.com
On receiving your acceptance,we shall be glad to give you more clarification on the modalities needed for smooth and successful completion of this transaction.
Thanking you in advance for your cooperation.
John Garange
(For the family).

From the Editor: So the british parliment over budgeted and they want to send me money for giving it charity. I think this deal is just too complex for me.
Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Dear Friend,
GREETINGS FROM THE UK HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT
This might startle you a little as you might have seen or read about me but really don’t know me in person. Well, I am Rt. Hon Margaret Hodge MP. A British politician and Labour Party Member of Parliament for Banking. I was the first Minister for Children appointed in a newly created post with the Department for Education and Skills and presently Minister of State in the Department for culture, Media and Sport under Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth of the United Kingdom.
I got your contact info via your country’s national directory and intend introducing a project concerning charity in your country and maybe neighbouring countries around you.
A few months ago, I was compelled to make an over estimation during a budget and set aside the sum of Six Million Three Hundred Thousand Great Britain Pounds (Ј6, 300,000.00GBP) with the sole intention of channeling it all into charity which I am delegating you to executed on my behalf with complete supervision of my Attorney as he will also be the one in charge of securing these funds into your custody.
This transaction will result to you being paid a commission of 11% of the investment capital and the balance, distributed to charity organizations of your choice or reinvested and the net income, used for rehabilitating
charity organization in and around your country through you/your agency annually for the period of five years or a little more. The last time I orchestrated this sort of Grant, the individual in Australia succeeded in
successfully setting up three standard orphanage homes in less than a year. I have never been so proud of such a noble individual. I hope we would have a reoccurrence in your case. If you are willing to execute this Humanitarian Project, You must understand that I desire absolute confidentiality and professionalism on this issue.
For security reasons as regards my reputation, I will not be able to communicate regularly with you; but my Attorney will take up the processing on my behalf and get these funds processed and released to you without any delay.
I don’t plan on benefiting anything from this project, but will be absolutely fulfilled, if and only if you remain sincere to me on the handling of this project with utmost sincerity and confidentiality; and eventually utilize the funds for the purpose which I have explained to you above.
Kindly respond urgently if you are interested as the fund have been tied down for too long, so I can equip you with the necessary details, alongside my Attorney’s contact information, so as to commence the transaction properly; on the other hand, if you are not, please let your intentions be known or better still, Kindly relent from replying this email.
You could get personal info on me via my official website, but do not try contacting me via any personal information you may lay your hands upon on the internet as almost all my contact info are connected to the British House of Parliament data base except the ones I personally sent to you; as I don’t want our effort and my reputation, jeopardized.
Kindly send your response to this E-mail: rthmargarethodgemp@xxxxxxxxxx.com
Sincerely,
THE RT. HON MARGARET HODGE

So my contacting you is to assist me receive the funds in your bank account in your country; which I know is possible if you liaise properly with me and get 30% of the total funds as your benefit.

I have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money left behind by my client before it gets confiscated by our bank or declared Unserviceable by our bank where this deposit is lodged.
Now, the bank Directors has called a board meeting regarding this fund. My main motive right now is to share this great opportunity with you by presenting you as the Next of Kin to the Deceased since all his banking details are with me as his personal Account Officer. And the deceased Account valued atUS$10,000.000 (Ten Million United States Dollars).
Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the biological relatives of my late client, I hereby seek your consent to present you to the bank as next-of-kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of this account valued at US$10,000.000 can be transferred to you as inheritance and Tsunami Disaster Charity Fund.
We shall start the first transfer with US $5000.000.00 (Five Million United States Dollars only), upon the successful actualization of the first transfer without any disappointment from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount to your account.
I have the original copy of Certificate of Deposit of the funds, which will be used to substantiate our inheritance claims. All I Require is your consent and honest co-operation to enable us see the deal through.
Furthermore, I guarantee that the transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you and I from any breach of the law.

Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Four months due to cancer problem.

I want to you use at last 90% this fund for orphanages, widows and and also propagating the word of God and to endeavor that the house of God is maintained and take the remaining 10% to take good care of your good God Given Home. l took this decision because I don’t have any child that will inherit this money . This is why I am taking this decision to donate this fund for charity. I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going. I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord..Exodus 14 VS 14 says that “the lord will fight my case and I shall hold my peace”.
I don’t need any telephone communication in this regard because of my health .My happiness is that I lived a life of a worthy Christian. Whoever that Wants to serve the Lord must serve him in spirit and Truth, always be prayerful all through your life.
