Greetings Sir/Madam"
With trust and humility. I present this letter to you, my name is FRANCIS
KAMALA, the first son of the late king KAZUMA KAMALA, A TRADITIONAL RULER,
and a great farmer in Zimbabwe. It might be shock to you to receive this
letter from me, and most especially how I got your contact address. However
your address was courtesy of business journal at the world trade centre in
Johannesburg, and the after due consideration of your profile, I became
aware and assured of your credibility of handling this trust and my future.
During the current crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters
of the president ROBERT MUGABE, to claim the all white owned farms in the
country, he ordered all white farmers to surrender their farms to his party
members and his supporters.
My father was one of the black farmers that worked along side with the white
farmers and opposed the president action towards the white farmers. My
fathers being well know for his relationship with the white farmers, the
president supporters invaded my father farm and destroy everything, my
father was at the same time killed on the process of fighting back the
invaders. After the incident my mother and my younger sister decided to move
out of Zimbabwe of their safety of their life.
I was studying overseas when my father died; I was forced to return home for
the funeral. My father's attorney notified me and my mother about my fathers
will with his chambers. When I was going through the will, I discovered that
my late father had used his position as the treasurer of the farmer’s
co-operative society of Zimbabwe to make some money, which he brilliant
transferred and deposited with a reputable Security Company in South Africa.
The amount involved is $20.5 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS, my mother and I
have agreed and decided to transfer the money in question to the reliable
and huminist person/ company for investment, as we do not have intention of
going back to Zimbabwe, secondly we don’t have knowledge of international
investment.
Why I have solicited your assistance is because of the nature by which we
entered in to South Africa we don’t have the right to operate or maintain a
foreign domination account as refugees, we have in mind to compensate you
with 20% of the total money and 10% for expenses in the cost of the
transaction, then 70% will be for me and my family for investment in your
country which you will be the supervisor.
NOTE: The key word to this transaction is absolute confidentiality and
trust, the transaction is 100% risk free for, for your understanding and
co-operation you can get back to me immediately with the above numbers for
more details.
Yours Faithfully,
KAMALA FRANCIS
(for the family)
