ATTN, DIRECTOR
Dear Sir/Madam ,
Calvary greetings in the name of our lord jesus christ . Please I am Mrs.
Rose Smith-Marzini from Zimbabwe, the WIFE OF LATE CHIEF Joseph Marzini,
a renowned Farmer in Bulawayo Town in Zimbabwe. I write on behalf of the
Marzini's family, to request, if you are available and have the facility to
assist my family undertake some capital investment in your country.
It will be necessary to inform you that the money metioned below, {US$25.8M}
Twenty FIVE Million ,Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) intended
for capitalization of the investments are presently in the custody of a
private security company in Johannesburg South Africa deposited by late my
Husband, which we require to transfer out of South Africa immediately for the
said investment purposes for the family.
You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe orchestrated by the
unprecedented Land use Act of the government of Robert Mugabe in which his
government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by
the white farmers in the country.
This has caused a historical displacement of the white folks who are known to
be the country's main farmers.The ensuing struggles and strife have brought
about the killing and imprisonment of thousands of these white farm owners by
the ruthless government forces designated to enforce this new order. My
husband , in his good will, joined the international community in condenming
and speaking out against this uncivilized and bizarre policy of Presiddent
Robert Mugabe s government. As a result of my husband's firm and upright
position on this matter, a group of assailants suspected to be government
sympathizers attacked and killed my husband in cold blood in February of
last year.
Seeing that the entire family was in serious threat of extinction, we
immediately left Zimbabwe to South Africa, where we have sojourned ever since
as refugees under the United Nations.Prior however, to my husband's untimely
death, who had sensed the rising hostilities, he sold some of his farm lands
including those of some of his white farmer associates who had transferred
ownership of their farm lands to my husband to forestall the government
acquiring them.
My husband secretly sent the proceeds of this money [{US$25.8M} Twenty FIVE
Million, Eight Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), realised from sale of
the farm lands to South Africa, and deposited same in a metal box with a
private security company in Johannesburg.
It will interest you also to note that we have all this while articulated the
needful arrangements through which the transfer will be effected. To come to
terms with you regarding your reward for helping us actualize this matter, we
expect to offer you 20% of the total sum, 10% will be mapped out for the
expenses we may incure during this transaction,then 70% will be for me and my
family.
It is equally important to state here that considering the nature of this
matter, we will require that it is handled most discreetly.
Upon receipt of this letter, for execution details and other necessary
discussions kindly contact my attorney in South Africa, Mr.Cliff Alexander
immediately, using the email address or phone numbers; jabonga2001@hotmail.com,
and Telephone number +27-833-663-265.
In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance I remain,
Yours sincerely
Mrs ROSE SMITH-MARZINI.
