Subject: COMPLIMENTS OF THE DAY
From Mrs Hope Ndlovu
Dear Sir/Madam
I know you will be surprised to read a letter from me but please consider
these as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.I am writing to
you from Johannesburg, South Africa. I got your contact information from a business directory in Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry I am Mrs Hope Ndlovu the wife of Late Mr.Peter Ndlovu a farmer who was murder in Zimbabwe. The President of Zimbabwe, ROBERT MUGABE demanded that the wealthy mechanize farmers in the country should either financially support his brutal and dictatorial regime, or surrender their properties and flee the country. The farmers who refuted this order had their properties confiscated, chased away or killed. My late husband happened to be one of the victims; his properties were invaded, the President's loyalists looted his heavy-duty machineries and burnt down his structures. In the process that he was trying to defend his properties my husband was killed together with six other employees and security officers that worked for him.
After my husband was killed, our lives were in danger and through the
assistance of the United Nation workers that were assisting families in
crisis; my I and children were taken across to the neighboring country
South Africa as refugees. Before fleeing from my country my I came along
with a deposit agreement of US$25.5Million (Tweenty five Million five hundred
United States dollars) my husband deposited with a Private Security and
Financial House in South Africa while he was alive, which he had me as the
next of kin/beneficiary. This fund was declared and deposited as family
valuables with the security company. Due to security reasons, he did not
want them to know the real content of the box since it is in cash form, he
then deposited it under what is called Diplomatic Consignment of 100%non
inspection origin which does not give the company right of inspection
before acceptance for deposit. Being a refugee claimant here in South
Africa, certain Immigration Law prohibits me from operating financial
transactions and exchanges. A financial adviser therefore advised me to
seek and negotiate for a reliable foreigner who could assist me to transfer
this fund to their bank account in their
country.
I am therefore humbly asking for your assistance to help me to claim this
fund and also transfer it to any of your account you may wish overseas. 25% of the fund shall be credited to you for your assistance; another 5% will also
be set aside for all transactional/out of the pocket expenses that will
arise during the course of the transaction. If you may wish to go for a
joint business venture with me since I intend to invest this money in your
country that is also negotiable.
Please contact us, my elder son Patrick Ndlovu on this number 27-73-103-5452
or email:(patrickndlovu41@yahoo.com) immediately
. On behalf of my family, I thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
Mrs Hope Ndlovu
