Dear Friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me,since
you dont know me personally,I am Lewis Mswati. The son of Dr Chiluba
Mswati, Who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
I
got your contact as i was searching for a reliable and reputable person
to handle a very confidential business which involve a transfer of fund
to a foreign account and i decided to write you. My late father was
among the few black Zimbabwean opposition party rich farmers murdered
by the agents of the ruling Government of president Robert mugabe,for
his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the white minority,
Before my father death,he had taken
to johannesburg and deposited the sum of twenty five million united
state dollars (US$25,000,000)with a security and financial company,The
money right now is in NETHERLAND(EUROPE), as if he forseen the looming
danger in zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as valuable items
to avoid over taxed custom clearance.
This money was allocated for the
purchase of new machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms
and for establishment of new farms in lesotho and swaziland.This land
problems arose when president Robert mugabe introduced a new land act
that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently
condemned the "modus operandi"adopted by the government.
This result to
rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political
Thugs,precisely more than three thousand( 3,000)people have so far been
killed.Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and united
states have voice their
condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently,
south Africa have development community(S.A.D.C)has continousy
supported mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that my
entire family who are currently residing in South Africa have
decided
to ! transfer my father's wealth and south Africa's government seems to
be playing along with them.I am face with the dilemma of investing this
money in south Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
the future, since both countries have almost the same political
history.
Moreso,the south African foreign exchange policy does not
allow such investment,Hence i am seeking for(political asylum) AS a
business person whom i entrusted my future and that of my family into
his hands, i must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free
and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
For your
assistance we are offering you 20% of the sum ,70% for me and my family,
while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurre
during this transaction.We wish to invest our money on commecial
properties based on your advice. Finally, i will demand for assurance
that you will not sit on the money when it gets to your personally
account or comp! any account in your country, If this proposal is
accepted please confirm your interest by sending this to private
email lewismswati@netscape.net
God Bless You,
Lewis Mswati
