A PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE
Dear One in lord, Sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not know me personally; the purpose of
introduction is that, I am MRS THERESA LUZA, The only
wife of HENRY LUZA, who was murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through
network online hence decided to write you. Before the
death of my Husband, he had taken me to Johannesburg
to deposit the sum of US$20.5 Million (Twenty Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), in one
the private security company, as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited
in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from
Security Company. This amount was meant for the
purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms
and established of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe introduces a new Land Act reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
black’s 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 was
killed because of this land reformed Act for which my
Husband was one of the victim.
It is against this background that, I and my family
who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my Husband’s money to foreign account since
the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum
seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in
any financial transaction throughout the
territorializing South Africa. As the as the only
wife of my Husband, I am saddle with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account
where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who are bent from taking
everything we have got.
The South African government seems to be playing along
with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing
this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going
through the same experience in future since both
countries have similar political history. Moreover,
the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not
allow such investment as an asylum seeker. As a
businessman, who I have to entrust my future and 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
arrangements and come to Johannesburg South Africa,
so that you can open a non-resident account which will
aid us in transferring the money into any account you
will nominate overseas.
This money I intend to use for investment 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 options 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 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will
be for my investment in your country. Contact us with
the above E-mail, Fax or Telephone number while I
implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required
in this transaction.
Thanks and God bless.
Mrs. THERESA LUZA/JOSEPH LUZA
(For the Family)
