Greetings,
You may be surprised to receive this letter, since you
don't know me personally. But, I believe that destiny is
an act of God which can only be delayed, but not changed,
this business opportunity to you. I am MRS. EMILY MADIBA.
The Wife of DR. MATUTU MADIBA, who was recently murdered
in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through South Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here
in Johannesburg and I decided to write for a humble
assistance. My late Husband 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 for the Zimbabwean
Opposition party controlled by the whites. Before his
death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to depositthe sum of
US$ 10.5 Million (Ten 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 a consignment, (Family Valve) to
the security company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid
much demurrage from the security company.
President Mugabe gave this money to my late Husband for investment
purpose while they were still in good terms. This land problem arose
when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which wholly
affected the rich farmers, and some few blacks eventually vehemently
condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. And that
resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the veterans and some
political thugs, precisely, many people have been killed. Heads of
government from Western World, especially Britain and United States
of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe 's plan subsequently,
the South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously
supported Mugabe's new land reform act. It is against this background
that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa have
decided to transfer my late Husband money into a foreign account. As
the eldest Wife of my Husband, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a responsible person who will help us to transfer this money
without the knowledge of my government and who had tactically freezing
our family wealth and South African Government seems to be playing
alongside with them. We have decided not to invest this money in South
Africa for the fear of seizure and 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 an asylum seeker. I should let you know that this
transaction is 100% risk free.
From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of
my family depends on this money as much, I will be very grateful
if you can assist me, My son and I are now living in South-Africa
as political asylum seekers (REFUGEE) and the financial law of
South Africa does not allow us to operate account of any type. In
view of this, I cannot invest this money in South Africa, hence I
am asking you to assist me transfer this money out of South Africa
for investment purpose. We shall discuss about your reward/
percentage for your efforts and assistance once you indicate your
interest. Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done will
be conveyed to you once we establish trust and confidence between
ourselves. We are willing to accept any reasonable condition you
may deem necessary, and we can as well go into partnership business
with you. Please reply immediately to facilitate immediate action
toward the transaction, Please contact my son Mr. Martin Madiba, on
the telephone number transcribed above, the key ward to this
transaction is absolute confidential and secrecy as the lives and
future of my family depends on this money, and remember this
business is highly confidential and shall be kept within
you. Looking forward to a mutual business relationship with you.
Best regards,
MRS. EMILY MADIBA.
