Attn:Sir,Madam
You will be suprised 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 MR. jocob mpoyo son of Dr.
Sipho mpoyo ,Who was recently murdered with other whites in
the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe this year. In my keen
interest to invest in your country, I got your contact
through South African Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here
in Johannesburg, 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 Mugabe
on the 12th of March 2001 for his alleged support and
sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by
the whites and this crisis and cold-blood-murder reports
were communicated to the whole world through BBC, CNN and
even the United Nations general assembly meetings for heads
of governments, of member nations.Before his death, he had
taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of {S$20
Million 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 a security company.This frame of mind
was informed as not to allow the company management have
obvious security reasons. This money was earmarked for the
purchase of machinery?s and agro-chemicals 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 vehemently
condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government.
This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their
lands, rampant killings, arson and thugs. Precisely, more
than one hundred and seven(107) people who have been killed
and many others maimed for the life in the past, and up
till this September, BBC& CNN have reported of more
killings in the farm-land violence.Heads of government from
the Western World, especially Britain and the 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 New Land Reform Acts. It is against this
background that I and my family who are currently staying
in South Africa have decided to transfer this money out of
South Africa into a trusted 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
Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my
family?s wealth. Secondly, I am residing temporarily in
Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my
behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to
grant asylum status. At he moment I am in a dilema on how
to move this money safely out of South Africa due to the
fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees on monetary
policy.
I request that you grant me the consent to present you and
your company as the Consignment (box of money), so that I
can be able to transfer the money to your nominated
accountout side South Africa for investment purpose.As
business man whom I wish to entrust my future and that of
my family on his hands, I must let you know that this
transaction is 100% risk free as far as you keep it secret
and modalities to effect this transfer is ready with the
help of our family lawyer, a member of a Bank-board, a
South African and my late father?s friend that helped him
depositing this money in the said Security Company as a
consignment.Therefore if this proposal is acceptable by
you, we are willing to offer you 25% of the total sum for
your assistance, 70% will be for me and my family while 5%
will be used for the capital transfer tax based on South
African Banking stipulations and any other expenses that
might be incurred in the course of this transaction. If
the proposal is acceptable by you, please phone me on the
above number, and forword your reply as soon as possible
bearing in mind the confidentiality and privacy this
transaction requires at the moment due to the security
network of Interpol, FBI and other international security
operatives in the world over.
Best regards,
MR jacob mpoyo
[for the family]
