Subject: REPLY; FROM MR. JEFTHA
Dear Friend,
How are you today? 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 contact through my
personal search for a honest and trustworthy individual, who can help my
family in receiving 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 foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as gem stones to avoid demurrage from the
Security Company. This amount was made for establishment of an industry
in UK.
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 have 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 President of Malawi have been sent by SADC
to Britain 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 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 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 host country, but immediately
you get back to me, I will give you the necessary information.
As a businessman, 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; address,
telephone and fax numbers.
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 FORWARD
YOUR REPLY TO MY PRIVATE ADDRESS: jj73jeftha@mail2world.com
REGARDS,
MR. JAMES JOHN JEFTHA, (FOR THE FAMILY)
