ATTN,SIR/MADAM,


I am Mrs Sussan Douglas,wife of mentu Douglas who as murdered by the
zimbabwean veterans and iritic black people.Before the death of my husband
on the 29th of July 2001, he was a prosperous tobacco and coffee farmer in
zimbabwe and one of the major sponsors of the opposition party movement for
Democratic change (M.D.C.) in zimbabwe.I am writing you from mashona land in
zimbabwe.I got your contact address through the South Africa information
network online and decided to write to you for assistance. I write to
solicit for your special assistance to a family shettered by government led
by the dictator President Robert Mugabe and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party. I am
probably of the land and farm crisis in zimbanwe.the Government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some rich farmers who are opposed to his
consistent stay in power and his radical and unnecessary reforms targeted at
his political opponents.This action has led to the killing of some member of
the opposition party including my husband (MENTU DOUGLAS), who did not
support this ill-fated actions and this continued some dangers and so he
smuggled out the sum of US$16.5M. (Sixteen million Five Hundred thousand
united state dollars.), to South Africa since it is the nearest neibouring
country and deposited it in a Security company with intention of using it
for the purchase of new farm machinery and chemicals for Agricultural
purposes in South Africa as well as purchase of new hectors of land in
Swaziland.

On the 29th July 2001, the war veteran and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party in our compound and axed him ( my husband) to death. Since then
they have been terrorizing my only son, PATRICK DOUGLAS but I succeeded to
work for his escape to neibouring country South Africa as a political asylum
seeker (refugee), but his position in South Africa does not permit him to
open an Account or normalize his fund for any meaningful business
Transaction in South Africa since he does not have a South Africa identity
card. That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your designated
Account overseas, so that you will assist him to invest it in your Account.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we have two option for you, we have agree
to go into partnership with you and your family or in alternative, we offer
you 25% of the money for your assistance, 5% will be for any possible
expenses that might be incurred in the proccess of this transaction. While
70% will be for our family investment in your Country, through your
assistance, I want you to understand that this fund is purely a family
fund/money and not drug money, nor could it be classified as Government fund
or money laundering affairs and it could be substantiated by relevant
authorities by our Attorney.It is family fund but turned confidential
because I do not want my Son to be trace to where he is presently. If you
are interested in assisting us, kindly contact my Son on the telephone
number above. I need your urgent and confidential response.


Thanks,

Best regards,


Mrs. Sussan Douglas
