FROM;PRINCE LEO MOLBERNY,
No-27 mandela avenu
Johannesburg
South Africa
E-mail:prince_leomolberny1@yahoo.co.uk
Dear Sir,

HUMBLE ASSISTANCE

You may be surprised to recieve this letter from
me since you do not know me personally, the purpose of
my introduction is that, I am prince leo molberny the
first son of HRH.alexandra molberny who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your
contact through network online hence decided to write
you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$23 Milllion (
twenty three Million United States Dollars), in one
of the private security company, as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in
a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from
security company. This amount was meant for the purchase
of new machines and chemicals for the farms and established
of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President
Mr.Robert Mugabe introduce a new Land Act reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
blacks farmers. And this resulted to the killing and
mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were
killed because of this land reformed Act for which my
father was one of the victim.
It is against this background that, I and my family
who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my father?s money to foreign account since
the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee ( asylum
seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in
any financial transaction throughout the territorial
zone South Africa. As the eldest son of my father, I
am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine
foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are bent on
taking everything we have got. The South African
government seems to be playing along with them. I am
faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of
money in South Africa for fear of going through the
same experience in future since both countries have
similar political history . Moreover, the South
African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such
investments for an asylum seeker.
As a business man, who I have to entrust my future
since both my future and of my family are in his
hands,I must let you know that this transaction is
risk free.If you accept to assist me and my family all
I want you to do for me is to make arrangements and
come to Johannesburg-South Africa, so that you can
open a non-resident account which you will aid us in
transferring the money into any account which you will
nominate overseas. This money I intended to use for
investment.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to
have certain percentage of the money for nominating
your account for this transaction. Or you can go into
partnership with me for proper profitable investment
of the money in your country. Whichever the options you
want, feel free to notify me I have also mapped 5% of
this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the
process of this transaction. If you do not prefer
partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money
while the remaining 75% will be for my investment in
your country.
Contact me with the above E-mail
while I implore you to maintain the
absolute secrecy required in this transaction

best regard

prince leo j molberny.
(for the family)
