HONEST PARTNER
ATTN:Sir,
With due respect ,trust and humanity, I write this letter to you seeking
your help and assistance though its difficult since we have not meet before
.I believe that you are capable and reliable in handling this urgent
international transaction of this sort.I am MR FRANKLIN KULAR ,the son of
the JUBRIL KULAR,the Zimbabwean foremost politician and businessman.My
father as a foremost politician stood against President Robert Mugabe's
idea of contuining in office as a President and my father stood against the
seizure of white owned farms and the distribution of it to the blacks
without compensation to the white owners.
Because of my father's sincerity he was killed on 14th february,2002,by a
planned motor accident along Mashonaland in western Mashona Province of
Zimbabwe .The planners of the accident are said to be dissident soldiers
suspected to have the backing of the Government and the President Mugabe
himself.Sir,when this accident occured at about 0:15am,Zimbabwean time ,my
father did not died on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare hospital by
unknown soldiers and my father managed to called my younger brother and me
through his assistant,and when my brother and I rushed to the hospital my
father only managed to sent a written message to us explaining his
condition concerning one diplomatic box he deposited with a private
security company in south Africa,containing US$18.5million(Eighteen million
,five hundred Thousand United States Dollars.)and other vital documents
which was meant for building of a mosque in my country and to build an
Islamic school to help the children of the oppressed moslem minority in
Zimbabwe .Now that his dead I would like to continue from where he stopped
.He was killed because he stood against injustice ; the siezure of
farmers' land by the government force .
The fears of the Zimbabwean citizens have happened,as Robert Mugabe has
rigged himself back to the office as the President,hence we have no other
option than to flee Zimbabwe to south Africa.It would not be surprising to
you on hearing that my country is presently under severe economic sanctions
from the Commomwealth of Nations, United Nations organization,e.t.c.
We are exiled here in south Africa ,where we are political refugees
.Because of the country's existing law which bars asylum seekers/refugees
like us from operating an account ,I decided to search for a trustworthy
individual who will help me transfer this money out south Africa.The money
will be taking out from the security company and deposited to an account
such individual will open here before the onward transfer to his nominated
accou nt overseas.All arrangements have been put in place to
ensure a hitch-free transfer.
I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk-free ,as no
other person knows about this box ,apart from my younger brother and
myself. Sir, as for your reward for your kind assistance ,we have resolved
to give you 30% of the total sum ,10% for expenses incurred in the course
of this transfer ,while 60% will go to my family ,for which greater part
of the money will be used to promote Islam ,like building of mosque ,which
was the dream my late father never achieved in his lifetime and building
of Islamic school ,where Islamic values will be inculcated in moslem
children early in life .
You can contact me through the above mentioned phone number to enable me
furnish you with further information and details as regards this
transaction.
Looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards!
MR FRANKLIN KULAR
(For the family)
