ATTN : Dear Sir/Madam ,
I am Musa William the son of late PRINCE Dan William who was murdered as a result of the land dispute/reform in ZIMBABWE. I got your contact during my search for reliable and compitent foreigner to assist us in a confidential financial transaction, then I decided to write you. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged Financial support and sympathy for Zimbabwean Opposition Party,Movement for Democratic Change(MDC). Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of TWELVE MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS ($12M. USD) with a security and financial company, as if he for saw thelooming dangers in Zimbabwe. The money was depositedas a his personal belongings to avoid much dumourage
from the security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.'
This land problems arose when president ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new land Act,Which wholly affected the white rich farmers and some few opposition blacks vehemently condemned the new land reform Act adopted by the government.This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa as refugees or asylum seekers have decided to contact your person for assistance to transfer the money to your country or the account you may wish to provide for us where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of claiming/investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have the same political history. Moreover,the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such investment hence I am seeking for an asylum. I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessary matter.
So, if you are willing to assist my family move out this fund as well as invest it wisely in your country
his money, I and my family have agreed to go into partnership with you after the successful transfer of
this fund to your account or country or you take 25% of the total money, 70% will be for our family while the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may incure during the transaction.
Therefore, if you are capable and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavour to reply through my e-mail address or the above number. I also need your private phone and fax number for easy and better communication.
Remember that this Transaction is highly confidential mostly for the safety of our lives here in south Africa. Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regards,
MUSA WILLIAM
