ATTN;MANAGING DIRECTOR/CEO
You may be suprised to receive this letter from me but please do consider it as a request for assistance .
I am Mr.Paul Konta the son of Dr Simon Konta who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
zimbabwe.
I want a trust-worthy,honest and God fearing individual to go into partinership with me. Thus i sollicited to
contact you through the help of (W.S.L) World net Search, Linked in
corporation with the Chamber of commerce of South Africa were i seek asylum.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers, murderd
in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president Mugabe
for his alleged support and sympathy for the zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the entire minority.
Before the death of my father,he told me that he has the sum of us$19,000,000
(Nineteen million,united states dollars)deposited in a security company.
That he used my name as his only son for the deposit of the money in the security company.
This money was embarked from the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for farms and the establishment of
new farms in lesotho swaziland. This land problem arose when president robert mugabe
introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black
vehemently condemed the "modus operandi’ adopted by the
government.This resulted to rampant killing and mob action
by war veterans and some political thugs. The violence has cost the
life of more than 231 ( two hundred and thirty one) persons while many
have been wonded.Heads of governments from the west,especially
Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of
mugabe´s plan. subsequently, South African Development Community(SADC)
has continuosly supported mugabe’s new land act.
As the only son of my of my father ,am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine person
whom this money could be transfered to without the knowledge of my government who are
tactically freezing our family wealth and South Africa’s government seems to be playing along
with them.I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for the fear
of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same
political history. more so, the South African foreign exchange policy does not allow such
investment, hence i´m residing in south africa now.Sharing modalities will be discussed after
lodgement of the money into s afe account.
This transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily
matter. we wish to invest our some part off on a something tangible that will yield profit. All
we need from you is assurance that you will not sit on this money when it finally gets into your
personal or company’s account in your country. If you could assist,please all correspondence should
be through my email address:konta1xxx@yahoo.com
Yours Faithfully.
Paul Konta.
(for the family)
