Subject: REGARDS
Atten:C.E.O/MD,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not
know me personally. I am WANDA DUKE, the first
son of Wanda
Zaccheo, the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who
was 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 US16 000 000 million, United
States dollars), in one of
the private security company, as he foresaw the
looming danger in
Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem
stones to avoid much
demurrage from security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines
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 wholly affecting 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, I and my family
fled Zimbabwe for
fear of our lives and are currently staying in the
Netherlands 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
Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank account or
to be involved in any financial transaction throughout
the territorial
zone of Netherlands.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled 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 moving this amount of
money 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 I have to entrust my future and that
of my family in
your 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 arrangement with the security company to
clear the
consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here
in the Netherlands as I
have already given directives for the consignment to
be brought to the
Netherlands from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put in
place like change
of ownership to the consignment and more importantly
this money I
intend to use for investmentment.
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 the proper
profitable
investment of the money in your country. Which ever
the option you want, feel
free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds
of expenses
incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do
not prefer a
partnership I am willing to give you 15% of the money
while the remaining 80%
will be for my investment in your country. Contact me
with the above
email address, as I implore you to maintain the
absolute secrecy required
in this transaction till we successfully put claims to
the funds.
Thanking you, and may GOD BLESS YOU,
Yours Faithfully,
WANDA DUKE
