A PLEA FOR ASSISTANCE
Dear Jeroen,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, the purpose of my introduction is that, I ROGER ZUMA the first
son of Mr. DAVID Zuma, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in
Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write
you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit
the sum of US$18.5Million (Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars), in one the private security company, as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as germ
stones to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This amount was meant
for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and established
of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduce
a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few blacks farmers.And this resulted to the killing and mob action by
Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of
people was killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was
one of the victim.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father s money to foreign
account since the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to
open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
througout the teritorial
zone South Africa. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddle with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could
be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent from
taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be
playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this
amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through the same
experience in future since both countries have similar political history.
Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment as an asylum seeker. As a businessman, who I have to entrust my
future and of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this
transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family all I
want you to do for me is to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg
South Africa, so that you can open a non-resident account which will aid us
in transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This
money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain
percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction.
Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment
of the money in your country. Whichever the options you want, feel free to
notify me I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses
incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a
partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining
70% will be for my investment in your country.
Contact me with the above telephone E-mail or Telephone number while I
implore you to maintain the
absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr ROGER ZUMA
(For the Family)
