**
*I got your contact information from an International Directory on Lawyer
and Tax Advisors in my request hence decided to write to you for a
business proposal that will benefit both of us.Before the death of my
father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US
$16.5(SIXTEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) in one of
the Private Security Companies as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gemstones to avoid much
demurrage from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase
of new machines, chemicals for the farms and establishment of new farm in
Swaziland.*
**
*This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act reform, which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted in the killing and mob
action of 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.*
**
*They murdered my Dad at about 10.45am in our white colored E Class Mercedes
Benz and born our houses. My father left out with one wife, Mrs Tsindi
Gigaba, I and my two sisters Naliso and Nomsa.We all flew the country with
tears to South Africa where my father deposits with a Security Company in
(South Africa the sum of (US$16.5 M}{Sixteen Million Five hundred thousand
United States Dollars Only} as precious stones and family valuables.*
*This money he intended for March 2005 politics and the opening of the new
hectares of farm land in Shiselweni Village near Umbuluzi in Swaziland which
my father negotiated to buy with the help of the Swaziland Monarch King
Suboza Mswati (lll) as well as buying tractors for the newly site which my
father had made all the enquires from NEW LONDON TRACTOR &
EQUIPMENT..................... ROUTE.*
**
*It is against this background that my family and I are currently in South
Africa and decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign country since
the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or
to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones
of Southern Africa.*
**
*As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred into without
the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything. All I seek
for is an honest businessman or woman, whom I can entrust my future and that
of my family; I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk
free. If you accept to assist us, we will embark without further delay on
the next step for the transfer of this money out of South Africa based on
the arrangements I have made so far.*
**
*This money I intend to use for my 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 options you want feel free to notify
me..................... I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all
kinds of expenses we might incur in the process of this transaction. If you
do not prefer a partnership, I am willing to give 25% of the money while the
remaining 70% will remain for my family and I. *
**
*If you are really capable and willing to assist me please email me with
email address above or call me with above telephone number. While reply
please, i need your private telephone number and fax numbers for an easy and
effective communication and full name /address,**Finally, please treat this
matter as urgent as possible. I am daring need to leave this country since I
cannot invest the amount here in South Africa due to their restrictions on
