Subject: APPRECIATION
With good faith i have come to you on this proposal which i feel you are
liable of handling, and firstly i must introduce myself,i am HENRY D GARBI,
the first son and manager of Mr. Garbi Thembe, one of the most popular black
farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently 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 took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US
$ 29 million ( twenty-nine 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 family valuables to avoid much demurrage
from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for a new Farm establishment in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced
a new Land Reform Act wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few
black farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mobbing by Zimbabwean
war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact a lot of people were
killed because of this Land reform Act of which my father was one of the
victims.
It is against this background that, my family and I 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 father's
fund 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. Since the South African government seems to be playing along with
them, I am now faced with the dilemma of moving this fund out of South
Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future because 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 the security company
to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the
Netherlands as i have already given directives for theconsignment 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 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 a proper profitable investment in
your country. Whichever option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also
mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incured 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 me with the E-mail address:hendan15@safe-mail.net while I implore
you to maintainhe absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks,
God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
HENRY D GARBI
