ATTN.M.D/C.E.O,
APPEAL FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE
With due respect trust and humility, it is my pleasure appealing for your
assistance at this point in time.
I am DENNIS LUMKA the eldest son of Dr. DAVID LUMKA, who was recently
murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe this
year.In my keen interest to invest in your country. I got your contact
through the South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in
Johannesburg, South Africa and decided to write for an ssistance.
My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the killer-squad of the ruling party Zimbabwean Government of
President Robert Mugabe on the 6th of June 2002, for his alleged support and
sympathy for the opposition party controlled by the whites and this crisis
and cold blood-murdered reports.Before his death, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the Sum of US$20,000 000.00 (Twenty Million United
States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company for safekeeping as if he
foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled
''FAMILY TRASURE'' with the Security Company.This frame of mind was inform
as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real
content of the box for obvious security reasons.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of machines and agro-chemicals for
the farms and the establishment of new farm settlements in Lesotho and
Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a
new land acts the called (LAND EVICTION ORDER) which wholly affected the
rich white farmers and some objective blacks vehemently condemned the modus
operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to forceful ejection of
whites from their lands, rampant Killings, arson and mob actions by the war
veterans and some political thugs.
Precisely, more than one hundred and seven (107) people have been killed and
many others maimed for life in the past, and up till now, BBC and CNN have
reported of more killings in the farmland violence.Heads of government from
the western world, especially Britain and the United States of America have
voiced their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts. Subsequently,
the Southern African development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously
supported Mugabe's new land reform Acts. It is against this background that
my family and I who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to
transfer this money out of South Africa into a trusted foreign account.As
the eldest son of my late father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred to,
without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my
family's wealth.Secondly, my mother is presently sick of heart disease and
the need to fly out for medical operation on her is very important, but how
can we fly without this fund.
Presently, we are residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome
of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney for the department of Home
Affairs to grant us asylum status. At the moment we are in dilemma to the
fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary policy.
We request that this proposal should be granted so that we can be able to
transfer this money to your nominated account outside South Africa for
investment purpose. As a businessman whom I wish to entrust my future and
that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is
100% risk free as far as you keep it secret.
The modalities to this transfer are ready with the help of a banker (who has
been assisting us)here in South African, who by his help we have finished
all the arrangement, the way this money should be transferred easily.But the
problem we are facing is how to get a honest and responsible person that can
keep this money safe and stand as the beneficiary.
I have two options, 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 option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped
out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses that might be incured in the
process of this transaction.If you do not prefer a partnership, I am willing
to give you 20% of the total money, while 75% will be for my family. If you
are really capable and willing to assist me
I am looking forward with a view to hearing from you soonest.
Regards
Mr. Dennis Lumka.
