Dear Sir,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don’t know me I am Mr. John Vusi, the son of Dr. Dennis Vusi who was recently murdered in the dispute in Zimbabwe I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a top confidential transaction which involve a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my late father was among the Zimbabwe 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 white Minorities. Before his death he had taken me to Johannesburg-South Africa to deposit the sum of UD$22.5Million (Twenty Two Million Five hundred United State Dollars) with a Security company. This money was embarked from the purchase of New Machinery and Chemical for the farm and the establishment of new farm in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduce a new land act that wholly affected the Rich white farmers and some few black vehemently condemned the "Modus Oparadi" adopted by the government. This resulted in 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. Head of governments from the west, especially Britain and United State of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe’s plan. Subsequently, South Africa Development community (S.A.D.C.) has continuously supported Mugabe’s new land act, it is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my father’s money into 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 freezing our family wealth and South Africa 46;s government seem
s 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 Africa Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such investment hence we seeking for an: ASYLUM"
As a businessperson whom I entrusted my future and 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 30% of the total sum 60% for my Family and me while 10% will be mapped out part for any expenses we may inure during the course of this transaction. We wish to invest our part of the money on commercial property based on your advice. Finally all we demand from you is assurance that you will not sit on this money when it is 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 contact numbers.
Best regards,
JOHN VUSI.
