PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir ,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally, I am ZAK ZUMA the first son of DR.OMAR ALI ZUMA, and he was the
VICE PRESIDENT OF the REPUBLIC OF TANZANIA. Before he died, my father died
at the age of 63 late years 2001 after addressing the people of TANZANIA
during the visit of PRESIDENT JOSEPH KABILA of DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO
and YUERI MUSEVENI of UGANDA.I got your contact through the South African
information Exchange (S.A.I.E) in my search for a reliable and reputable
person to handle a very confidential transaction which involved a transfer
of fund to a foreign account and i decided to write you.
My late father was among the ruling party (CCM) which the opposition party
was dominated by his Muslim brother's led by PROF.IBRAHIM LIPUMBA.Before his
death he had taken me to Johannesburg-South Africa to deposit the sum of
US$16.3millon(SIXTEEN MILLION THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)
with a security and Finance company as if he foresaw the looming danger
coming .
The money was deposited in a box as valuables to avoid much demurrage from
the security company. This money was embarked from the purchase of new
achinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in
ZANZIBAR, ARUSHA and NAIROBI KENYA.I must say that the death of my father
has also warned me and my whole family not to go back to politics.
For the fact that PRESIDENT BENJAMIN MKAPA never showed any concern since
the death of my father I decided to leave to South Africa where I am
residing now with my own family. Meanwhile here in South Africa I don’t
think of going back and for this I and my family have decided to transfer my
father's money into a foreign account .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
tactically freezing our family wealth as I may not trust the system of
African government. Moreso, the South African government does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an asylum. As a businessperson whom I must
entrust my future and that of my family into his hands I must let you know
that this transaction is 100% 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
you 20% of the total sum for your assistance 75% for my family and me while
5% will be mapped out for any expenses we may incur during this transaction.
We wish to invest our money on commercial property based on your advice and
I will also receive assurance that you would not sit on this money when
transferred into your personal or company's account.
If this transaction is acceptable by you, please send to me your phone and
fax numbers for easy communications.
BEST REGARDS,
ZAK ZUMA
(For the family).
