This is to acknwoledge a good report i received abaout your personality through the search i made from South Africa chambers of commerce and industries.
I am Mr. Edward Mujuru, the son of Sir , David Mujuru of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support our president Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father who was one of the best farmers in our country did not support his idea. And so the party members invaded my father’s farms and burnt everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of treasures in my father’s farm/house.
After the death of my father, I and my mother and my sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives were in danger. But before then, my father has told my mum that there a box that was deposited with a Security Company in South Africa, this money was raised by his farmer's group for the purchasing of farming equipments/machines before th land dispute rose.
The amount involved is US$40.5M (fourthy million five hundred thousand United States Dollars) only, but according my father, the content of the box was not disclosed to the Security Company for security reasons, besides it was decleared as a valuable item. So we decided to make contact with an overseas firm who will assist us to move this money out of South Africa because we are Asylum Seekers in South Africa and the laws of this country does not permit us some certain rights, such as operating a bank accounts, investment, study and other monetary transaction.
So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you 15% of the total sum for helping us to move this money out of the country, and 5% will be mapped out for expenses that both of us may incurred during the cause of this transaction, and 80% will be for me and my family to invest in your country or any country of our choice. All I want is for you to show us your willingness and capability of assisting us in every aspect of this transaction.
In your willing response to this proposal, endeavour to enclose your direct contact numbers for easy and strong communication/co-ordination in this transaction. You can as well contact me on the above Tel numbers or e-mail address. NOTE: That the formalities and modalities needed in this transaction will be made known to as soon as Trust,Prudence and confidentiality are established. For your reputation and integrity in life, this transaction is 100% RISK FREE.
Thanks and God bless,
Best regards,
Edward Mujuru [for the family}
