Dear,
Naturally, this letter will come to you as a surprise since
we have not met,Permit me however; I am NKOSA KORAM a son
of Zimbabwean Farmer Mr. SMITH KORAM.
I am Contacting you as the need for me to have a foreign
partner in your Country has become necessary due to my
plans to relocate and establish a private company in that
region. As the present political instability in my
country Zimbabwe, does not encourage financial investment
as the environment is not conducive for investment and most
of all security is not insured, just as reported by
international media.
This problem started when the Zimbabwean government under
the leadership of President Robert Mugabe announced a
degree on May 31st 2000 to seize more than 849 white-owned
farms. So far, more than 1,400 white owned farms have
been invaded and confiscated, as well as claiming the
properties of the farmers.
During these periods, as reported by international media
and the CNN, more than 6 white farmers were killed; the
government is not stopping at this, as just recently the
governments have asked all white farmers to give up their
farms to black farmers or risk going to prison.
Also, I must re-iterate the importance of having a citizen
of your country to front as the owner of the enterprise,
due to the fact that I am a foreigner.
My late father deposited in a security and trust company in
South Africa the sum of $15 million Dollars as a family
treasure before his death, from the sale of my f arm and
farming equipment?s (including tractors etc).
I will upon receiving this money on my behalf, pending my
arrival to meet with you in your country so that we can
both of us shall make further arrangements with regards to
establishing the Company. As a partner's in progress, you
will be entitled to 25% percent of the total sum, while, 5%
shall be mapped out incase of any expenses that we may
incur on the cause of this transaction for re-imbursement
after due and successful dealing..
I am waiting urgently for your call or email through this
Email: koramnkosa@hotmail.com
Telephone: +27- 735 546 440
Cheers and God bless.
Best Regards,
NKOSA KORAM
