A popular theme to base a scam upon is the poor suffering orphan story. In this scam the fake orphan needs help to move millions of dollars out of South Africa. Unfortunately the victims will be required to pay an endless stream of fees to the orphans' fraudulent Barrister. The scammers have actually sent this scam as a picture so I've typed it all out in order to make it easier for those searching for details.

My name is MR. DAVID BONGANI, only son of MR. AWATO BONGANI of Zimbabwe. This might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address. I got your address from internet, while searching for a Reliable person and also a foreign national who I can trust for all my financial responsibilities.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supports of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all the white-owned farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and his followers. My father was one of the best farmers in our country and because he did not support his idea, supporters invaded my father's farm and burnt everything in the farm, killing my father and made away with a lot of items in my father's farm.
After the death of my father, my mother and I and my younger sister decided to move out from Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger with the money my minister kept in his hidden safe in my mother's house. The amount contained in the safe is US$11.5M (ELEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) and we decided to move to the Republic of South Africa where we deposited the money in a Security Company as valuables.
So, I decided to contact overseas Firm that will assist me to move this money out of South Africa, because we are asylum seekers here in South Africa which disqualifies from operating an account or getting involved in any financial transaction here in South Africa. We have agreed to give you from the total sum 20% for helping us to move this money to your country while 80% will be for me and my family to invest in your country. If you are interested please kindly furnish me with your personal phone and fax numbers for easy communication. You can contact me on the above telephone, Note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and it requires mutual trust and absolute confidentiality. Your urgent response will be highly appreciated in this regard.
Thanks and God bless.
Best regards,
DAVID BONGANI (For the family)
