Dear Sir/Madam,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
Good day.
This very confidential request should not come as a
surprise to you. But it is because of the nature of what is
happening to me and my family urged me to contact you. I
had already sent to you this same letter two weeks ago, but
I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard
from you since then. Hence my resenting it to you again
through mail, which I understand is not the best way to
contact you because of the nature of my request and the
urgent attention it requires.
My name is MR.CHRIS TUTUH, the second son of MR. THABO
TUTUH, of Beitbridge, Zimbabwe. At the height of the
present political crises in our country, in which the white
farmers in our country are being slained and ripped off
their belongings by the supporters of our president, Mr.
Robert G. Mugabe, in their efforts to reclaim all the white
owned farms in our country. My father and my elder brother
were brutally slained to a painful death in their struggle
to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our
farm. My father, during his life on earth was a prominent
indigenous farmer and also trades on Diamond and Gold from
some countries in Africa. He publicly opposes the crude
policies and crime against humanity on the white farmers by
Mr. Robert Mugabe and his followers.
As a result of which the president followers invaded my
fathers farm, burnt down everything and brutally slained
him and my elder brother due to their role in trying to
protect these white farmers on the 13th day of February,
2002. And using media law restriction to protect their
wicked acts. That not being enough, the president and his
followers after winning the last Undemocratic Elections
decided to confiscate assets of our black indigenes who are
opposing his policies and who support the white farmers,
along with the assets of these white farmers themselves,
which are being presently confiscated.
I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to
the Republic of South Africa for safety of our lives, where
we presently seeked for political asylum, temporarily.
During my father’s life on earth, he had WILLED the sum of
Fifteen million Six hundred Thousand United States dollars
(US$15,600.000.00) to be shared between me and my elder
brother before he met his untimely death on that faithful
day. This he had deposited with a finance and security
company in the Republic of South Africa from where he
operates most of his Gold and Diamond trades to our
country. In view of this and as the only surviving son of
my father, and with the present clamp down, killing and
confiscation of assets of supporters of the white farmers
presently in our country, I therefore humbly wish to notify
you of my intention to use your name and address as my
Trustee in lifting this money out of Africa finally, to the
Europe office of the finance company and also seek for your
honest and trustworthy assistance to help me clear and
accommodate this fund when it gets over there, before it is
dictated out and confiscated by the president Mugabe’s
regime.
My mother and myself have agreed to make the provisions;
1.That 20% of the total money will be given to you for your
assistance in clearing and accommodating this fund.
2.That 10% of the total money will be set aside for
taxation and any other expenses that might be incurred in
the course of this transaction, while the remaining 70%
will be for me and my family for our future investment
purposes which will depend on your assistance.
Please I hope you will grant and view this very request
with favour and much understanding of our situation now,
and will be a very honest and reliable person to deal with.
And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of my
request to yourself to protect my family and yourself
rendering the help.
Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as
soon as you read this very request.
Best regards,
Mr.CHRIS TUTUH
[For the family]
