Subject: Warm Thoughts!!
FROM: MR DENNIS MOLEFE
CITY OF ACCRA
GHANA.
Dear Sir/madam
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don’t
know me personally. I am DENNIS MOLEFE the first son of MR. ROBERT MOLEFE,
who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe (19 Jan 2003) I
got your contact through network online hence I decided to write to you.
Before the death of my father (MR ROBERT MOLEFE) he had taken me to Accra to
deposit the sum of US$22 Million (Twenty two Million United States Dollars)
in one of the private security companies, as if he fore saw the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much
demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase
of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm
in Swaziland. This land problem came when our President, Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to the killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act, of
which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background
that, I and my family who are currently staying in Ghana decided to
transfer my father’s money to a foreign country since the law of Ghana
prohibits refugees to open any bank account or to be involved in
any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of Ghana
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 into
without knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything.
All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust my future and that of
my family; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk
free.
This money I intend to use for investment and growth in your country. 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 the proper profitable investment of the money
in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for any expenses we might incur in
the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of this
money while the remaining 75% will remain for me and my family. If you
are really capable and willing to assist me please contact me
immediately with this e-mail address; dennis_molefe@excite.com
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible.
Thank you
Best regards,
Dennis Molefe.
