E-MAIL: jamesnkosi36@yahoo.com
ATTENTION: SIR/MADAM,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL ($13.6M)
My name is Mr.James Nkosi, the elder son of MR.NDODO NKOSI
from Zimbabwe.
This might be a surprise to you about where I got your
contact address.
I got your address from the South African Chamber of
Commerce and Industry
in Johannesburg, South Africa. During the current war
against the farmers
in Zimbabwe from the supports of my President Robert
Mugabe to claim all
the white-owned farms to his party members and his
followers, he ordered
all white farmers to surrender all farms to his party
members and his followers.
Our wicked President, Robert Mugabe, murdered my father
and I fled my country
because I have become his next target to eliminate. My
father was a fighter for
Justice and a moving force in the MDC, a part wanting to
end the several years
of brutal dictatorship government of President Robert
Mugabe. You will read more
stories about President Mugabe's brutal acts by visiting
this web sites;
http://www.rte.ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html</Redirect/www.rte.
ie/news/2000/0418/zimbabwe.html> my father was accused of
Treason and also
assisting the White farmers in fighting the government. Few
weeks after his
arrest, he was reported dead. The government claimed he
died of heart attack
and his body was never seen for proper autopsy, they buried
him in the government
cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Leonard Mark a White
farmer from Britain
assisted me in fighting my father's death through the Court
and media; the
government saw us as a big treat to them and decided to
eliminate us. Mr. Olds
was attacked and murdered in his house, but fortunately,
before they came looking
for me, I received the news and I had to flee through the
border to South Africa
to save my life. My arrival here in South Africa still
remains like a miracle
to me. Here, is my reasons for contacting you, I am having
a huge Sum of money
in the total sum of $13.6Million presently lodge with the
security company in
South Africa, My father kept this money in two trunk boxes
in disguise as family
treasures and could not bank them, because of the
situation in my country.
The government seized my father?s business, farms and banks
account before
his arrest and murder. He told me everything concerning the
funds while he
was still in detention and I have made several arrangements
concerning the
shipment of the boxes out of South Africa because we cannot
invest it here.
I was on the process when I fled the country. I need your
assistance in
securing the funds here in South Africa, so that I can
arrange on how to
come over to your country to invest with this fund I am
willing to offer
you 30% of this $13.6Million for your assistance. Please,
let me know if
you can assist me, so that I can give you more details on
how we shall proceed.
As I wait for your urgent response, please treat this
proposal as top secret.
Regards,
Mr.James Nkosi.
