Memo from Martin P Burns of PricewaterhouseCoopers

-------------------- Start of message text --------------------

Here's a new variant on the old Nigerian bank account fraud.

It's not all in caps (woohoo! I can read it without getting eye strain) and
it's exploiting the new political environment.

It's still the same old proposition though.

Cheers
Martin

Subject:    DAVID  WREY.




 From;Mr.David Wrey and Family.
     Johannesburg,South Africa.




My Dear,

         REQUEST FOR AN URGENT ASSISTANCE.

   Good day.This very confidential request should
not come as a surprise to you.But it is because of the
nature of what is happening to me and my family urged
me to contact you.I got your contact information by a
stroke of luck in your country's directory at the
height of my desperation to get someone who can assist
me honestly to salvage me from my family's present
predicaments.I quite understand that this is not the
best way to contact you because of the nature of my
request and the attention it requires,but there is
nothing I could do since it is the only available
means I have for now to reach and openly express my
problems to you.

   My name is Mr.David Wrey,the second son of
Mr.Smith Thabo Wrey,of Beitbridge Zimbabwe.At the
height of the present political crises in our country,
in which the white farmers in our country are
being slained and riped off their belongings by the
supporters of our president,Mr.Robert G.Mugabe,in
their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in
our country,My father and my elder brother were
brutally slained to a painful death in their struggle
to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge
in our house.My father,during his life on earth was a
prominent indeginous businessman who trades on Diamond
and Gold from some countries in Africa.He publicly
opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity
on the white farmers by Mr.Robert Mugabe and his
followers,as a result of which the presidents
followers invaded our house,burnt down
everything and brutaly slained him and my elder
brother due to their role in trying to protect these
white farmers on the 13th of February,2002.And using
media law restrictions to protect their wicked
acts.That not being enough,the president and his
followers ,after winning the last undemocratic
elections decided to confiscate assets of our black
indigenes who are opposing his policies and who
support the white farmers,along with the assets of
these white farmers themselves,which are being
presently confiscated.I therefore decided to move my
mother and younger sister to the Republic of South
Africa for the safety of our lives,where we presently
seeked for political assylum,temporarily.

   During my fathers life on earth,he had WILLED the
sum of Twelve Million United States Dollars
[$12.000.000.00]to be shared between me and my
elder brother before he met his untimely death on that
faithful day.This,he had deposited in two sealed trunk
boxes with a Finance and Security Company in the
Republic of Togo, from where he operates most of his
Gold and Diamond trades to our country.In view of this
and as the only surviving son of my father,and with
the present clamp down,killing and confiscation of
assets of supporters of the white farmers presently in
our country,I therefore humbly wish to notify you of
my intentions to use your name and adress as my
Trustee in lifting this money out of Africa Finally,to
the Europe office of the finance company and also seek
for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me
clear and accommodate this fund when it gets over
there,before it is dictated out and confiscated by
the present Mugabe's regime.

  Myself and my mother have agreed on the following;

1.That 25% of the total money will be given to you for
your assistance in clearing and accommodating this
fund.
2.That 5% of the total money will be set aside for
taxation and anyother expenses that might be incured
in the course of this transaction,while the remaining
70% will be for me and my family for our future
investment purposes which will depend on your
assistance.

   Please,I hope you will grant and view this very
request with favour and much understanding of our
situation now,and will be a very honest and reliable
person to deal with.And also bearing in mind the
confidential nature of my request,please,I emphasize
that you keep every bit of this request to yourself to
protect my family and yourself rendering the
help.Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent
response as soon as you read this very request.

Best Regards,
Mr.David Wrey,
and family.
