Scam email from Constance Monica Odhiambo

Dear Sir/Madam,
 
Request for a Fund Manager
 
Pardon my means of communication for a request of this magnitude; my name is Constance Monica Odhiambo a citizen of Kenya, currently residing in South Africa.
 
I request your guidance to invest US$43 Million overseas. I served as a maidservant in the house of Mr. Jack White, who was a tobacco farmer in Zimbabwe.
 
My masters wife died after giving birth to their only child Martin White, age 13 now. Since the death of my masters wife, my master never re-married, if you are conversant with international issues, then you might have heard of the land reform crisis in Zimbabwe, political issues and the brutal invasion of white farmers land and properties by the Militants of the ZANUPF (ruling party).
 
My masters farm was invaded last year by the ZANUPF Militants, during the cause of the invasion my master handed his son over to me with a file and pleaded with me to take good care of him in case he never make it.
 
He (My master) said and I quote “Make your way with my son to South Africa or your home country Kenya ; I will look for you in Kenya . If I dont find you in Kenya then I will know you made it to South Africa , keep this file safe, because it is important to me”
Unfortunately when I arrived in South Africa with my masters son Martin, we heard in the news that my master was killed during the attack that night, because he opened fire at the invaders and was hit to death.
 
Months have gone now, since this incident and I have tried my best to take care of my masters son, as my master was never bad to me. Out of curiosity, I had to open the file my master gave me and to my greatest surprise, it contains documents in the name of my masters son Martin White for a deposit of US$ 43 Million with a finance company here in South Africa.
 
My master had made this deposit in trunk box as a family valuable and property, I believe this was to cover the real content of the box / consignment. I had to take my masters son to the finance company to confirm the validity of the claim and for real the consignment is valid with the security company. This gave me relieve and assurance for a better future with my masters son.
 
I tried to make claims on the consignment, to take it off the finance company, so that I can look for a fund manager to guide us through investment. As the present guardian to Martin White, I could not make claim of the consignment because I had to seek asylum, when we arrived South Africa and certain civil and financial obligation are not permitted to Asylum Seekers and Martin is only 13 yrs old and the law states he can only make a direct claim at the age of 18, which is five years from now. My monthly United Nations refugee grant cannot sustain us that long.
 
I had to look for an alternative way to claim the consignment out of the finance company for proper investment and one of the top officials at the finance company advised me to look for a Non-Resident of South Africa with foreign nationality that can stand as our fund manager to make the claim directly via his or her name and have the consignment released to him or her as our fund manager.
 
That is why I have decide to contact any foreign national via email who could be able to help us, I only need you to stand as our fund manager, so that the finance company can release this consignment on your name and instruct the bank to transfer the fund to your home country account for investment.
 
Then you can make arrangement for me and my masters son to come over to your country to meet with you for investment. I offer you 15% of the total amount for your assistance and 85% will be for our investment when we arrive your country.
 
Please let me know via email or phone if you are comfortable with this proposal, then we can establish trust and take it up from there.
 
I humbly await your response.
 
Ms. Constance Monica Odhiambo
