Subject: PARTNERSHIP REQUEST



From Daniel Usiba

Johannesburg, South Africa

ATTN:CEO/PRESIDENT,

This letter may come as a surprise to you since you don’t know me. Let me introduce myself ,my name is MR Daniel Usiba, the SON of the late Mr STEVE C.Usiba,who was murdered in one of the land disputes in my country Zimbabwe.

My father was among the many rich farmers who was brutally murdered in cold blood by the war veterans of the rulling party Zanu PF ,that is ruled by the president Robert Gabriel Mugabe for his farm and for supporting the opposition MDC ,ruled by Morgan Tsvangirai. Before the land acquisition began my father took me to South Africa to deposit (US$ 20 million dollars) Twenty million dollars, into a security finance company. To avoid questions he made as though he was safe keeping some jewellery and rubies.He did this as though he knew what the Zanu PF regime would do to him.

My father gave me this money to take care of the farm and myself incase anything happened to him in the near future ,since l was his first male child. The land problem started during the end of 2000 ,when the ruling party Zanu PF gave the war veterans permission to settle themselves on any white owned farms ,and to force farm workers to support the ruling party Zanu PF by giving them land and free food.This resulted in rampant killings and many other violent actions.

I am currently living in South Africa as a refugee with my daughter ,and have recently decided to invest this money in a foreign country out of Africa , l am afraid of going back to Zimbabwe since Robert Mugabe has won again and i would not want to incounter the same thing that happened to my father.If you are willing to assist us ,i will be willing to offer you 20% for your help ,70% will be for a joint business venture in your country ,10%will be for any expenses that will incur during our business transactions.

The nature of your business does not necessarily matter. Therefore if you are interested and willing in assisting me, please reply me via this mail address details above and do include your private number .

Expecting to hear from you soonest

Best regard,

MR. Daniel Usiba
