Subject: urgent letter
N0 50 ATLANTIC AVENUE,
PRESIDENTIAL PARK JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Attn Sir/Madam
Dear You may be surprise to receive this message from me
since you don't know me in person, but for the purpose
of introduction, I am MR HENRY NGOSI, the son of late
MR. MARK NGOSI, who was murdered in a land dispute
in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact during my search for
reliable&compitent foreigner to handle a confidential
financial transaction, then I decided to write you. My
late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the
ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his
alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition
party.
Before the death of my father, he took me to South
Africa to deposit the sum of Eighteen million Five
hundred thousand US Dollars ($18.5m) with a security
and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger
in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem/precious
stone to avoid much dumourage from the security firm.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new
machinery and chemicals for the farms and the
establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President R. MUGABE
introduced a new land Act. which wholly affects the
White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the
government. This resulted to rampant killing and mob
actions.
I and my family who are currently staying in South
Africa as a refugee or an asylum seeker have decided
to contact your as foreiner/beneficiary of the
Trunck Cases containing the Cash (USD18.5M) for futher
transfer of the money to a foreign country where we
can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of
claiming/investing this amount of money in South
Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have the same political
history.
Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does
not allow such investment hence I am seeking for
anasylum or refugee.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk
free and the nature of your business does not
necessary matter. So if you are willing to assist us
claim the ownership of this money,I and my family have
agreed to give you 20% of the total money, 40% will be
for a joint business venture I will be doing with you
and another 35% will be for me and my family which we
shall also invest in your country and the remaining 5%
will be mapped out for all expenses we may incurred
during the transaction.
Therefor, if you are willing and interested to render
the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my
email address I also need your private phone and fax number
for easy communication.
Remember that this is highly confidential and the
success of this business depends on how secret it is
kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
HENRY NGOSI.
FOR THE FAMILY
