URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear SIR
You may be surprise to receive this letter since you do not know me
personally. My name is JOHN MOYO , the only son of late DR.DUKE MOYO, who
was murdered with my mother(MRS.RONA MOYO ) in a land dispute in zimbabwe.
I got your countries business publication through the
chamber of commerce here in Johannesburg, South Africa. And after going
through your business
executive profile, I decided to write and seek for your assistance in the
problem I have. During the
current Crisis against the farmers of the Zimbabwe by supporters of our
president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country,
he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party
members and their followers. My father was one of the best farmers in the
country and knowing that he did not support the president's political
ideology, the president supporters invaded my father's farm burnt down
everything, killed my parents and confiscated all my father's investment.
Before the death of my parents in the farm land, my father took me to South
Africa to deposit the sum of US$18.5 Million United States Dollars with a
Security & Finance Company, as he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The
money was deposited as gem of precious stones to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company. This money was meant for buying of new machineries and
chemical for farms and establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
I moved to South Africa where I currently residing as asylum seekers. Of
late, when I decided to invest this money here in South Africa, I discovered
that the laws of this country prohibit asylum seekers the right to
investment or to operate any form of bank account. Hence I contacted you to
assist me in transfering this money out of South Africa to your overseas
account for my onward investment.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free. The nature of
your business does not
necessarily matter in this transaction. So, if you are willing and
interested to assist me, I have decided to give you 25% of the total sum for
your assistance, 65% will be for my investment in your country and the
remaining 10% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incur during the
course of the transaction. Note that you would also assist me in investing
my own share of the money in your country.
Finally, if you are interested to assist me in this transaction, I need your
urgent reply through the
above Telephone and E-mail. Do not forget to include your private telephone
and fax numbers for easier communication. Please, treat this business
proposal with absolute confidentiality as we proceed.
Best Regards,
MR.JOHN MOYO
