CONFIDENTIAL)
Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am MRS ISABEL DUBASI the wife of MR. BENSON DUBASI,who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
Before the death of my husband, he had notified me about the money $10.5m
(Ten million five hundred thusand United States Dollars) he deposited in
Johannesburg South Africa with one of the private security companies,as if
he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box
aspersonal valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the
Security Company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the
farms andestablishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came
when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new Land Act reform
which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers.
This resulted to killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society.
In fact, alot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for
which my husband was one of the victims. It is against this background that,
my children and I who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my husbands money to a foreign country since the law of South
Africa prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in
any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa.
I am now saddled with the responsibility of seeking for a genuine foreigner
who can provide us with a reliable account where this money could be
transferred into .All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust
with my future and that of my family. I must also let you know that this
transaction demands absolute confidentiality.If you accept to assist me and
my family, all I want from you is to help us with an account in your name
which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you will
nominate overseas.
This money We intend to use for investment and growth in your country. I For
your efforts we are prepared to give to you 20% of the total funds, Or you
can go into partnership with us 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 we might
inure in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you the percentage
proposed above. If you are really capable and willing to assist us please
contact my son immediately with this e-mail address: josephdubasi@yahoo.com
or you may call my son Joseph on this Telephone number 27-84-978-0192.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible, I am in dire need
to leave this country soonest with my family.
Thanks for your mutual co-operation.
We await your urgent response.
Best Regards,
MRS.ISABEL DUBASI
