Subject: ONLINE REASSISTANCE.
Dear Sir,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not
know me personally. For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr.oscar
muyanga,the eldest son of Dr. Matelo muyanga, a wealthy farmer/politician in
Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.I
got your email contact through Data Base Directories/south african business journal, so based on my urgent need for a
dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. Hence I decided to write to
you.Before the death of my late father, he had taken me to Johannesburg
South Africa, to deposit the sum total of Twenty Five Million,United States Dollars, (US$25,000,000.00) in a Diplomatic
Security Company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a metal trunk box and declared to them as
Family Treasures to avoid much demurrage/tax from the security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of New machines and chemicals
for the Farms and the establishment of new Farms in Swaziland. My late
father finalized the supply of the needed materials with a company in
Dubai “UAE" and has written the Security Company to transfer the
consignment/fund to Dubai-UAE which the security company agreed to but my late
father was yet to submit name of the consignee in Dubai-UAE.The hitch now
is the dispatch charge and clearance/pick up charge. What I am
soliciting from you is to help me out and I have agreed with the rest of my
family members that Twenty Percent (20%) of the total deposit will be given
to you for your help and another Three Percent (3%) will be set aside
for expenses that you may come across during the transaction. The
balance Seventy Seven Percent (77%) remains for me and my family business,
which you will help us establish.The land problem, in our country came
when our President Mr. Robert Mugabe, introduced a new Land Act Reform
wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers who
are members of the opposition party. This resulted in killings and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. A lot
of people have been killed because of this Land reform Act for which my
father was unfortunately one of the victims.It is against this
background that, I and my family have fled Harare our capital for fear of our
lives and are currently staying in a remote country side of Bulawayo. We
are planning to leave the country and seek political asylum in another
country out of Africa and to invest the money there also when we have finally claimed the money and we have decided to move our family wealth
also.As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility
of seeking a genuine and capable partner that could assist us without the knowledge
of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got, and the
South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am
faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa
for fear of going through the same experience in future, since both
countries have similar political history.I am now seeking for a partner whom
I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands. To this
end, we need your assistance to stand as the Beneficiary of the
Consignments in Dubai. We want to be very careful in order not to lose this
fund which we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist
us to clear this fund in Dubai you can contact me through my email
address. I will also like to have your telephone/fax number and personal
information like postal address to enable us Discuss further details. I must let you know
that this transaction is %100 Risk free as far as we keep it as confidential as
possible.Thank you, and many blessings to you.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
MR. OSCAR MAYANGA.
