Subject: PASSIONATE APPEAL
DEAR SIR
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this
letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this
proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely
seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free
mind and as a person of integrity. My name is Morris Mulete, the only son
of Mr.Zhiri Mulete, a farmer from Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute
in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email,
after searching for contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I
can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I
apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a business
venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, as a result
of President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly
affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white
farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the government for re-distribution
(it was in fact) to his political party members. My father though black
was the treasurer of the local farmers association and a strong member of
an opposition party that did not support the president idea. He (Mugabe)
then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade
my father's farm and burn down everything in the farm.
They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm. After
the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father
handed us over will documents with instructions from my father that we should
leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him. The will documents has a certificate
of deposit, confirming a deposit kept in custody for us in a security company
unknown to the company that the content is money hence it was deposited
as personal belongings.
This money totaling ($13.5m US dollars) was deposited with a Private Security
Deposit Company for safety and security reasons, and was to be used for
the purchase of land, new machines and chemicals for the establishment of
new farms in Botswana. This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since
led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and many other innocent
lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father
after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became
unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe with the
help of my father's close friend Mr. John Graham from Australia also a farmer
who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family last may following
this ugly development I have tried to reach him but all to no avail.
I am currently staying in the Abijan Republic of cote de voir where I am
seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum,
is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, I
have contacted them to move the safe deposit from their office in Johannesburg
to their Office here in Cotonou, which they have since done. I need to transfer
this money to an account and invest part of the money. Since the law of
Benin prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to
be involved in any financial transaction, Secondly Benin government has
denied my application for asylum because of my Religion. I may soon be moving
to another country in search of asylum pending my getting assistance from
you in moving this money overseas/ to your country for further investment.
I do not want to invest this money here due to unfavorable political climate,
economic instability and its closeness to my country.
This is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable partner, whose account this
money can be transferred, hence this proposal to you. You have to understand
that this decision taken by me is a very big and brave one, and it entrusts
my future and in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money.
If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with
arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office
here in The Cotonou, as it has now been transferred from Johannesburg, South
Africa to their branch here.
The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance,
You shall be entitled to 20% of the total amount of US$13.5 Million, while
the principle sum will be invested in a viable business venture on your
advice, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable
investment of the money in your country. Whichever option you chose, please
be kind to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1 % of this money
for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction,
and 5% for Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 20% for your moral
and financial assistance then 75% will be left in your account for me. Please,
I want to you maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction.
Your reply should be sent to my private email address only [morrismulete@tiscali.it].
I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance
as I anticipate your co-operation.
Sincerely,
Morris Mulete
