Subject: Confidential Business Proposal
From: Mr. James Moyo.
Johannesburg South Africa.
Your kind attention
CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. I am Mr. James Moyo, the first son of Vusi Moyo,one 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 US8.6 million (Eight million, Six Hundred thousand 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 South Africa where we are seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father's money to a more reliable
foreign account. since the law of South Africa prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of South Africa, 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.
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 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 me to clear the consignment(funds) 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. Whichever 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 20% of the money while the remaining 75% 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.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. James Moyo.
