With due respect, trust, truth and humility, I write you this proposal,
which I believe would be of great interest to you, I found your contact
while I was doing a private research through chamber of commerce for a
reliable and capable foreign partner that will assist me and my family. I am
Mrs JESSICA ZUMA, the wife of late Dennis ZUMA of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from support of our
President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country,
all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party
members and his followers. My husband who was one of the best farmers in our
country and treasure of the farmers cooperative association of zimbabwe did
not support his ideas and following the awards bestowed on my husband by the
international Mugabe'sdictactorship. community for his fight against
so the party members invaded my husband,s farm and burnt everything in the
farm.During the march 31st 2005 parlimentary elections,MUGABE declared his
intentions to remain in power after 2008 when his 25 years in power suppose
to expires.My husband called a press conference and asked Mr.MUGABE to
stepped down.A week later MUGABE's agents Killed my husband and my first son
while returning from a meeting same day.
Owing to the turmoil being experienced by my family we decided to move to
the Republic of South Africa where my husband had already given me
instructions and details of the fund he had deposited in a private security
company.This money was deposited as valuable items.The amount was
US$I5M{FIFTEEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS}.This money was mearnt for the
purchase of agricultural equipments.
Again when we arrived South Africa we had became assylum
seekers(refugees),now we came to find out that our life has suddenly been
made difficult as the South African Moneytary policy does not allow us as
refugees to operate bank accounts or make financail investment
I cannot but contact you to be my foreign partner to help
me and my family in the transfer of this fund out of South Africa as it is
all we have and hope on now.
So if you consider this proposal I have agreed to give you 20% of the total
sum for helping me to transfer this money out to your country and 5% will be
mapped out for expenses both of us incur during this transaction while 75%
will be for me and my family to invest in your country.
Note that this transaction is 100% risk-free and absolutely confidential for
security reasons.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs.JESSICA ZUMA
