From:Mrs Evina Dunn
Harare Zimbabwe
Dear Sir,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not
know me personally, I am Mrs Evina Dunn, the wife of Mr. Francis Dunn, who
was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe last Year. I got your contact
through world network online, hence I decided towrite to you.
Before the death of my husband, he had taken my son Mike to South Africa
to deposit the sum of US$ 9.5Million (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars), in one of the private security company, as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This money was deposited in a box as
a family property to avoid much demurrage from Security Company. This
amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the
farms and established of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe
introduce a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers
and some few blacks farmers.And this resulted to the killing and mob action
by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot
of people was killed because of this land reformed Act for which my husband
was one of the victim. It is against this background that my son Mike who is
currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my husband money to
foreign account since the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum
seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial
transaction througout the teritorial zone South Africa.
I am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign partner
who can assist my son with his personal/company's account where this money
could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent
from taking everything we had. The South African government seems to be
playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this
amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through the same
experience in future since both countries have similar political history.
Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment as an asylum seeker.
As a person, who I have to entrust my future and of my family in his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. And upon
asceptance of this proposal you are advice to contact my son Mike through
his E-mail:mikedunn@webmail.co.za
or phone :number:+27-73 73 68 713 -for more details of the transaction
while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this
transaction.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain
percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or
you can go into partnership with us for the proper for the farmily
profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the options
you choose, feel free to notify me I have also mapped out 5% of this money
for all kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If
you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 25% of the money
while the remainin 70% will be for my investment in your country.
Best regards and God bless,
Mrs Evina Dunn
for the family
