From: DEMPAT WEMBA <dempatwemba222@netscape.net>

Subject: ASSISTANCE NEEDED
Attn:Request For Assistance
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me, since you don't
know me personally, I am DEMPAT WEMBA the first son of MOYO WEMBA who
was recently murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I am writing this letter to request your assistance and
confidentiality to handle a transfer of fund into a Foreign account and I decided to
write you,my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling Government of
President Robert Mugabe, for his alleged support and sympathy for the
Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority.
Before my fathers death, he has taken his fund to Europe and
deposited the sum of Twenty Million five hundred thousand United State Dollars ($20.5million)with a
Security and Finance Company as if he foreseen the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. This money was allocated for the purchase of new Machinery and
chemical products for Agro allied farm and for the establishment of new
farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
These land problems arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a
new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers, and the blacks
vehemently condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant Killings and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thugs,precisely more than three thousands(3,000)people
have so far been killed.Heads of government from the west, especially
Britain and United States have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's
plans. Subsequently, South Africa Development Community (S.A.D.C) has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this background
that my entire family who are currently residing in South Africa 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 are tactically freezing
our family's wealth and South Africa government seem 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 the
future,since both countries have the same political history.
More so, The South Africa Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment, Hence I am seeking for political asylum in The Netherlands.
As a business person, I wannts to entrust my future and that of my
family into your hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100%
risk free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
For your assistance,we are offering you 30% of the sum, 65% for me
and my family, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may
incurred during this transaction.We wish to invest our money on
commercial properties based on your advice.Finally,i will demand for a total
assurance and sincerity on your part when the fund gets to the account
you are going to provide in your country.If this proposal is accepted by
you, please confirm by you sending me an email with this email address
(dempatwemba2004@netscape.net ).
Thanks and God bless you. Awaiting your urgent response.
Kind Regards,
Dempat Wemba .
