Dear: Sir
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally, but for the purpose of introduction. I am MR SANKARA MAYO. the son of Mr MAYO, who was recently urdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact from the South Africa nfromation Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in johannesburg and I decided to write for assistance. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling Government of President obert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the mbabwean opposition party controlled by the whites. Before his death, he had ken me to Johannesburg to deposite the sum of Twenty-two Million, two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$22.2Million), with the Security and Finance Company,as if he forsaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as consignment to the security company to avoid seizure,and also to avoid much demurrage from the security company.This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for farms and the establishment of new arms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Act, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the Government,that resulted to ampant killings and mob actions by the war veteran and some political ugs.Precisely, more than thirty-one(31) people have been killed.
Heads of Government from the West, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced their condermnation of Mugabe's plan. Subsequently, the South Africa Government Community (S.A.G.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land refrom Act.It is aganist this background that I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my father's money into a foreign count. As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the esponsibility of seeking a genune foreign account where this money could be transfered without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family wealth and the South Africa Government seem to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount in South African for fear of seizure and encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same history. Moreso,the South Africa Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such investnment since I am an asylum seeker. As a businessman who I must entrust my future and that of my family on his hands,I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free.
Therefore,if you accept us we are willing to offer you 20% Of the total sum for your assistance,70% will be for my family's investnment in your country while 10% will be used for all expenses that might be incurred during the process of the transaction.If this proposal is acceptable to you, write or phone me, but you should know that this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within yourself.
Best regards
MR SANKARA MAYO.
