MR. Ngave Patrick Macheke

United Kingdom.

Dear Friend,
Good day to you, I know you will be surprised to receive this letter
from me
since you do not know me personally.
The purpose of my introduction is that I am Ngave Macheke, the first
son of Zuma macheke one of the most popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.
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 USD$9.5M. (Nine million, Five Hundred thousand United States
dollars), in one of the private security and finance company, as he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this funds was deposited in a box as gem
stones to avoid much demurrage from the security and finance company.
This fund was meant for the purchase of new machineries and chemicals for
the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduced a new Land Act Reform who really affect the rich white
farmers and some few black 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 reform Act for which my
father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, my family and I fled Zimbabwe for
fear of our lives and are currently staying in the London where we are
seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer my
fathers money to a more reliable foreign account.
Since the law of United Kingdom prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
throughout the territorial zone of U.K. As the eldest son of my father, I am
saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where
these funds 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 moving these funds out of South Africa for
fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have
similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking for a partner who
Ihave to entrust my future and that of my family 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 an arrangements with
the security and finance company to clear the consignment (funds) from
their affiliate office here in the U.K. as i have already given directives
for the consignment to be brought to the United Kingdom from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put in place
like change of ownership to the consignment, clearing the consignment
and most importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain
percentage of the funds for helping the family your account for this
transaction or you can go into partnership with me for a proper and
profitable investment of the funds in your country. Whichever of these
option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 2%
of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this
transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership, please let me know how much you are
willing to get for your assistance and the remaining will be for my
investment in your country.
Contact me with the above E-mail address, while I implore you to
maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
