DEAR MANAGING DIRECTOR,
GOOD DAY,
You may be surprised to receieve this letter since you
don't know me personally. I am MR JOSEPH SITHOLE.The
first son of DR.ROBERT SITHOLE, 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 an assistance.
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 for the Zimbabwean
Opposition party controlled by the whites. Before his
death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the
sum of US$32.5 .Million (Thrity -two 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 Valveable)to the
security company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid
much demurrage from the security company.
This money was given to my Father by president Mugabe
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 Fathers money into
a foreign account.
As the first son of my late Father, 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.
So, please if you accept to assist my family,we are
offering you 30% of the total sum,60% for me and my
family while 10% will be mappedout for any expenses,
we may incure during the course of this
transaction,and we are willing to accept any
reasonable condition you may deem necessary,also we
can as well go into partnership business with you.
please reply immediately to facilitate immediate
action toward the transaction,Please contact me on the
telephone numbers transcribed above.
Remember this business is highly confidential and
shall be kept within you alone.
Best regards,
MR.JOSEPH SITHOLE.
