ATTN:-
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not know me personally. I am James Kuba, the first son of
Mr.Calif Kuba, who was among those murdered in the current land dispute in
my country Zimbabwe by President Robert Mugabe.
Before the death of my father, on the 20 June 2000 he had taken me to
Gauteng South Africa to deposit the sum of US$20 Million (Twenty Million
United States Dollars), in one of the private security companies, as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones box with sealed cotton wool
as if it was family presciuos stones in other for not the security company
to know the real contents of the box,because security company do not keep
money as we were told.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the
farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform This resulted to the killing
and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for
which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family
who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my father’s money to a foreign country since the law of South
Africa prohibits refugees open any bank account or to be involved in any
financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa.
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 into without the
knowledge of my government who are bent on taking
everything .
All i seek for is an honest businessman, whom I can entrust my future and
that of my family , I must also let you know that this transaction is
100%risk free.
If you accept to assist me and my family all I want from you is for you to
make arrangements and come to
Johannesburg – South Africa, so that you can help me
open a non-resident account in your name which will
aid us in transferring the money into any account you
will nominate overseas.
This money I intend to use for investment and growth in your country. I have
two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of
the money for nominating your account for this transaction, Or you can go
into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money
in your country.
Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also mapped
out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incur in the
process of this
transaction.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the
money while the remaining 70% will remain for me and my family.
If you are really capable and willing to assist me please contact me
immediately with the above Tel,Fax or this e-mail address with which i have
sent you this message.
Thanks for your mutual co-operation,I expect your reply soonest response.
Our family best regards to you
James Kuba.
