Dear Sir/Madam,
I sincerely do apologize for invading your privacy in this way, but please consider this as a desperate request from a distress family. For purpose of introduction, my name is MR.MARTIN T. NKOSI, the son of MR.PAUL NKOSI from Zimbabwe. It might be a surprise to you where I got your contact information, I got your email address from the net while I was searching for a reliable and trustworthy person/company to help.
During the current war against the farmers in my country Zimbabwe from the supports of my President Mr. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms to his party members and his followers, he ordered all white farmers to surrender all farms to his party members and his followers. Our wicked President, Robert Mugabe, murdered my father and I fled my country because I have become his next target to eliminate. My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force in the MDC, a part wanting to end the several years of brutal dictatorship government of President Robert Mugabe. You can read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting this websites: www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html or www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html
My father was accused of Treason and also assisting the White farmers in fighting the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead. The government claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen for proper autopsy, as they claim he was buried in the government cemetery and that was the end till today. My father's associate Mr. Martin Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in fighting my father's death through the Court and media; the government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house, but fortunately, before they came looking for me, I received the news and I had to flee through the border to South Africa to save my life. Though I managed to save my life, my arrival here in South Africa still remains like a miracle to me and also a very big treat; considering the fact that all Southern African region government including South Africa are playing along President Mugabe , for claim that he assisted to fight ap
artheid in the region. In view of all these, I do not intend to invest or leave in this country anymore, which is one of my reasons for contacting you. Having said all these, I would like to bring to your knowledge the main reason why am writing you.
I am having a huge Sum of money in the total sum of US$12Million presently lodge with the security company in South Africa. My father kept this money in one trunk box in disguise as family treasures and could not bank the money for security reasons. Because of the situation in my country, my father's business, farms and bank accounts were seized by the government before his arrest and murder. However, he told me everything concerning the fund while he was still in detention and I made several arrangements concerning the shipment of the box out of South Africa as it became obvious that we couldn’t invest the fund here in South Africa and was still on the process when I fled the country. Right now, I need your assistance in securing the funds here in South Africa as I do not have required financial right, so that I can arrange on how to come over to your country to invest with this fund. I am willing to offer you 30% of this US$12Million for your assistance once the fund is transferred into your account /coun
try. Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can give you more details on how we shall proceed.
While I wait for your urgent response, please treat this proposal as top secret.
Best Regards,
Mr. MARTIN T. NKOSI.
