FROM :MRS JANET ZUMA
NO. 125 GRAYSTON ROAD
SANDTON JOHANNESBURG
SOUTH AFRICA
TEL: 27- 83-3138-320
ATTN: DIRECTOR/C.E.O ,
GOOD DAY ,
You may be surprised to receive this message from me
Since you dont know me in person, but for the purpose
Of introduction, I am MRS.JANET ZUMA the wife of
Late Mr.Francis ZUMA, who was murdered in a land
Dispute in Zimbabwe.
The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave
Your contact to me in Johannesburg as a reliable and
Trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to contact
You. My Husband was among the few rich Black farmers
Zimbabwean farmers who were murdered by the agents of
The ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for
His alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean
Opposition party.
Before the death of my husband he took me to South
Africa to deposit a sum of US$ 21 Million (Twenty One
Million United States Dollars) with a security and
Finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as Gem/Precious
Stones to avoid much demurrage from the security firm.
This money was for the purchase of machinery and
Chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment
Of new farms in Swaziland and Lesotho.
The land problem arose when President Mugabe
Introduced the new land Act that wholly affects the
Rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
Condemned the MODUS OPERANDI adopted by the
Government. This resulted in rampant killing and mob
actions.
I am currently staying here in South Africa with my
Two sons as refugees or asylum seekers and we have
Decided to transfer this money to a foreign country
Where we can invest it. I am faced with a dilemma of
Investing this money here in South Africa with the
Fear of encountering the same problems in the future
Because Zimbabwe and South Africa share the same
Political history. Moreover the South African
Monetary policies do not allow asylum seekers to do
Any investment and also the South African Development
Community (SADC) has continually supported Mugabes
new land Act, it is against this background that I and
My family has decided to transfer the funds into a
Foreign account, with the help of a reliable and
Trustworthy person.
I want to let you know that this business is 100% risk
Free. So if you are willing to assist me, I have
Agreed to offer you 30% of the total money. 60% will
Be for us, while the remaining 10% will be mapped out
For all expenses we may incur during this transaction.
Therefore, if you are interested and willing to assist
Me please contact me through the above number. I also
Need your private Tel/Fax numbers for easy
Communication. Remember to keep this business
Confidential.
Yours truly,
Mrs. JANET ZUMA joynyerere6@hotmail.com
