URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
Dear Gerard,
Good Day,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Mr.Chris Ndlovo the son of Dr. Philip Ndlovo who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a reliable and
reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves a
transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my late
father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold
blood by the agents of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe For
his alleged support and sympathy to the Zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the white minority.
Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit the
sum of US$ 21.5 Million (Twenty one Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as valuables to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company. This money was embarked from the purchase of new
machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in
Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and
some few blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the
government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thugs. precisely, More than thirty-one (31) people have so
far been killed.Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain and
United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe'splan.
Subsequently, South African Development Community(S.A.D.C) has continously
supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that I and
my family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to
transfer my Father's money into a foreign account.
As the eldest son of my Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our
family wealth and South Africa's government seems to be playing along with
them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa
for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both
countries have almost the same political history.
More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum". As a business person whom I
entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, I must let you
know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your
business does not necessarily matter.For your assistance,we are offering
you 20%of the total sum,70% for me and my family while 10% will be mapped
out for any expenses we may incure during this transaction.We wish to
invest our money on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally,I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on this money
when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your country.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your interest via the
above TELEPHONE and FAX or you reply through email.
Best Regards.
CHRIS NDLOVO.
