Subject: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Hello=20Message=20from=20Jeftha?=
Dear,Sir/Madam.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me,since you do not know
me personally, but for purpose of introduction.
I am MR. JAMES JOHN JEFTHA, the first son of DR, PETER JEFTHA , who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in ZIMBABWE. I got your address through
my personal search for a honest and trustworthy individual who can help
my family in retrieving this fund for proper investment and safe keeping.
And i decided to write to you, for assistance and business
co-operation. Before the death of my father, he had taken me to oversea
to deposit the total sum of(US$16,8Million United States Dollars ), with
a security and finance company,as if he forsaw the coming danger in zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in abox as gem stones for easy transfer to the
security/finance company. This amount was made for establishment of an
industry in abroad.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR.ROBERT MUGABE, introduced
a new Land Act which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few
black farmers.
This resulted in killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and
some lunatics in the society. In fact, more than thirty(30) people has
been killed because of this Land Reform act.
Heads of governments from the west especially Britain have condemned Mugabe's
new Land Reform Act and for this reason,SADC(Southern African Development
Community) heads of states have met and voiced their
support for Mr.Mugabe. South African President and the to support Mugabe's
new Land Reform Act.
It is against this background, that I and my family who are currently staying
in Europe right now because of this problem, have decided to transfer my
father's money to a foreign account. As the eldest son of my
father, I am saddled with this responsibility of seeking a genuine account
where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government
who are bent on taking everything we have
got and other African Governments seem to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this huge amount of money in
Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future since most
of the countries have lost similar political history. However, the european
union Foreign Exchange Policy where i am right now does not allow such investment
as I am seeking for Asylum. I don"t want to disclose all the information
about me, and where i am residing right now for fear of having my asylum
request cancelled by the authorities in my country but immediately you get
back to me I will give you the necessary information.
As a business man, whom I have to entrust my future and that of my family
in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk-free and
the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. Therefore, if you
accept to assist my family and me, we are
willing to offer 30% of the total sum for your assistance needed,60% for
me and my family while 10% will be mapped out for any pre-transfer charges
or bank charges. I would wish to invest in your country
on commercial properties and buying of rents based on your advice or from
experts in your country.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please, send me your contacts;email
add,telephone number and fax .
YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY
CONFIDENTIAL AND SHOULD BE KEPT WITHIN YOU ALONE.
YOUR URGENT RESPONSE AND ACCEPTANCE WILL BE HIGHLY
APPRECIATED. PLEASE YOU CAN AS WELL FORWARD YOUR REPLY
TO THIS MY PRIVATE ADDRESS:
jefthajohn@yahoo.co.uk
REGARDS,
MR. JAMES JOHN JEFTHA, (FOR THE FAMILY)
