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 wasrecently 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.My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers,murdered 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 a!
nd 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,i am saddled with the responsib ility 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 London now where i seek asylum.Sharing modalities will be discussed after lodgement of the money into safe account.
This transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your business
does not necessarily matter. We wish to invest ours 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 or telephone.I shall be waiting for your response.
Thanks and God bless
Yours Faithfully.
Paul Konta.
