Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE
FROM: William Magoora.
Dear friend,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know
me personally. I am William Magoora, the first son of Madogo Magoora, the
most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe who was murdered in the land dispute
in my country. I got your contact through network online hence decided to
write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit
the sum of USD14.5 million (Fourteen million five hundred thousand United
States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in a box as gem stones
to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for
the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment
of new farms in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean President
Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the
rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the
killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the
society. In fact a lot of people were killed because of this Land reform
Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that I and my family fled Zimbabwe to South
Africa for fear of our lives. After which I traveled to the Netherlands
and I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political
asylum and more so have decided to transfer my father?s money to a more
reliable foreign account. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial
transaction throughout the
territorial zone of Netherlands. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled
with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this
money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are
bent on taking everything we have got. The South
African government seems to be playing along with them
I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South
Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future. Both countries
have similar political history. As a business man, I am seeking for a partner
who 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. If you accept to assist
me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make arrangements with
the security company to
clear the Consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in the Netherlands
as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to
the Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have
to be put in place like change of ownership to
the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage
of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can
go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the
money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify
me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses incurred
in the process of this transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money
while the remaining 85% will be for my investment in your country. Contact
me through my confidential email address:williammagoora@hotmail.com, while
I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU
Yours Faithfully,
William Magoora
