Subject: GREETING FROM THE FAMILY OF LATE EDWARD MNCUBE
FROM: JAMES MNCUBE
JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA
TELE/FAX: +27-72-353-8170
ATTN: MANAGING DIRECTOR
RE: TRANSFER OF US$24.5MILLION (CONFIDENTIAL)
You will be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me
personally, but do treat this request as a call from somebody in dire
need of your kind assistance. For the purpose of introduction, I am
JAMES MNCUBE, the eldest son of DR EDWARD MNCUBE, who was murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe. In my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact through the
South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg,
South Africa, and decided to write for an assistance.
My Late Father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the KILLER SQUARD of the ruling government
of President Robert Mugabe on the 12th of March, 2002 for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition Party controlled by whites and this crises and cold-blood-murder reports were communicated to the whole world through BBC, CNN and even United Nations General Assembly meetings for heads of governments member nations.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg where he deposited
the sum of US$24.5Million (Twenty Four Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company for safe
keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the
farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as a
consignment labeled FAMILY TREASURE, with the Security and Finance Company. This was informed as not to allow the company management have the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious safety reasons. This money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery and Agro-Chemical for the farms and the establishment of new farms-settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a New Land Acts which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
objective Blacks. This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from
their lands, rampant killings, arson and mob actions by war veteran
and some political thugs. Precisely, more than one hundred and seven
(107) people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the
past and up till July 2002, BBC and CNN have reported of more killings
in the farm-land violence. Heads of governments from the Western
world, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced
their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts. Subsequently the Southern African Development Community (S.A.D.I.C.) has continuously supported Mugabe's Land Reform Acts. It is against
this background that I and my family who are currently staying in
South Africa have desired to transfer this money out of South Africa
into a trust 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 to, without the knowledge of the Zimbabwean Government who have tactically frozen my family's wealth. But how can we fly without
this fund. Presently, we are residing temporarily in Johannesburg
pending the out come of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney
for the Department of Home Affairs to grant us asylum status. At the
moment we are in dilemma to the fiscal laws inhabiting South African
Refugees on monetary policy. We request that this proposal should be
granted so that we can be able to transfer this money to your
nominated account outside South Africa for investment purposes.
As a business man who I wish to entrust my future and that of my
family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100%
risk free as far as you keep it secret, the modalities to this transfer is ready with the help of our family lawyer, a member of a Bank Board, a South African who by his help we finished all the arrangements the way this money should be transferred easily. But the problem we are facing is how to get an honesty and responsible person that can keep this money safe and stand as beneficiary.
If you can sincerely assist us with the whole of your heart to
transfer this fund into your nominated bank account, please send a
return mail as quickly as possible and give me your confidential phone
and fax numbers for more information. Please respond to enable me know my decision.
Yours sincerely,
JAMES MNCUBE
(FOR THE FAMILY)
