Subject: Humble proposal from Mr Justine Usmandiop
NO:19 FERDNAND AVENUE
SANTON CITY JOHANESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Sir/Madam,
You may be suprised to recieve this letter since you don't know me
personally. I am MR JUSTINE USMANDIOP .The first son of DR.JACOB USMANDIOP
who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your
contact through South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in
Johannesburg and I decided to write for an assistance.
My late Father, was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in
cold blood 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 whites. Before his death, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$ 22.5 .Million (Twenty-two Million
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a security and finance
company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was
deposited in a box as a consignment, (Family Valueble)to the security
company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.
This money was given to my Father by president Mugabe for investment purpose
while they were still in good terms.This land problem arose when President
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which wholly affected the rich
farmers, some blacks eventually vehemently condemned the modus operandi
adopted by the government. And that resulted to rampant killing and mob
actions by the veterans and some political thugs, precisely, many people
have been killed. Heads of government from Western World, especially
Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of
Mugabe 's plan subsequently, the South African Development Community
(S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land reform act. It is
against this background that I and my family who are currently staying in
South Africa have decided to transfer my Fathers money into a foreign
account.
As the first son of my late Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a responsible person who will help us to transfer this money without
the knowledge of my government and who had tactically freezing our family
wealth and South African Government seems to be playing alongside with them.
We have decided not to invest this money in South Africa for the fear of
seizure and encountering the same experience in future,since both countries
have almost the same political history.More so, the South African Foreign
Exchange Policy does not allow such investment hence I am an asylum seeker.
I should let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free.
So, please if you accept to assist my family,we are offering you 30% of the
total sum,60% for me and my family while 10% will be mapped out for any
expenses, we may incure during the course of this transaction,and we are
willing to accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary,also we
can as well go into partnership business with you. please reply immediately
to facilitate immediate action toward the transaction,Please contact me on
the telephone numbers transcribed above.
Remember this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within you
alone.
Best regards,
MR.JUSTINE USMANDIOP.
