ATTN:DIRECTOR/CEO,
With due respect,trust and humility i write this letter to you seeking help
and assistance though it's difficult since we have not met before,your
contact was courtsy of BUSINESS JOURNAL from WORLD TRADE CENTRE
JOHANNESBURG. regarding your business profile and sincerity, i believe
that you are capable and reliable in handling this urgent international
transaction of this sort.
My name is MR VIMBI KOSI,the son of Mr ANTHONY KOSI of Kwekwe Zimbabwe.This
current war crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the support of
President Robert Mugabe because of his envy and greediness to claim all the
farms for his party members and his followers , he ordered some farmers to
surrender all their farms (lands) to his party members and hisfollowers .
On 12 Decmber my beloved father a Kwekwe farmer, Mr ANTHONY KOSI was
murdered in an ambush at our farm gate at about 18:00hrs evening. My
father(Mr ANTHONY KOSI of a blessed memory) has the biggest and best farm in
our country and because he did not Support Robert Mugabe ideas,upon this act
of greed -ness Mr presidet have this to say, We are no longer
going to ask for the land, but we are going to take it without negotiation.
"I urge farmers to drop the nonsense of fighting the land issue in the
courts, as that will make us even more angry.If the farmers cannot be
harmonious..then we will ask them to leave our country harmoniously," he
said.
My father was well known to Zimbabwe's president. He was an MP for Ian
Smith's Rhodesian Front until two years after independence in 1980,but then
allied himself with the new order and was appointed to parliamnt by Mugabe
as a non-elected MP. He broke with the ruling party in 1994 after
being accused of abusing several women whom he "arrested"for stealing in the
farm. Mr Mugabe publicly denounced him as a racist and pledged to seize his
farm.
He had been an outspoken critic of President Robert Mugabe's ruling
party.Mugabe has described the farm occupations as a justified protest
against unfair land ownership . Mugabe order his supporters to invaded my
father's best farm in Kwekwe region, 150 kilometers (94miles) and burnt
everything in the farm in as much as killing my beloved father and made away
with a lot of items in my father's farm. (On 12 Decmber , at about18:00hrs )
Before his death, my father deposite with a Security Company in ( South
Africa the sum of (US$14.5 M}{Fourteen Million Five hundred thousand United
States Dollars Only}as precious stones and family valuables. This money he
intended for 2002 politics and the opening of the new hectares of farm land
in Shiselweni Village near Umbuluzi in Swaziland which my father negosiated
to buy with the help of the Swaziland Monarch King Suboza Mswati (lll) as
well as buying tractors for the newly site which my father had made all the
enquries from NEW LONDON TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT . ROUTE 460 WEST OF LYNCHBURG
LONDON before his untimely death which is as the act of greedness.
Before his untimely death that day my father have this to say, "you VIMBI
because as a father I have to tell you my son that you must never expect
that there is a future for you in this country " Now the Minister of
Agriculture Mr Joseph Made who is a strong member of the president Robert
Mugabe ruling party has for now allocated prime farms lands to all top
governments, army and Zanu-Pf officals under what he called the "Murky
Commerical Settlement Scheme".
Among the officals allocated the prime farm lands were the war Veterans
,Joseph Chinotimba,the leader and the self-stlyed commander of farm
invasions,Eliot Manika,the youth delevopment minister, Augustine Chiuri ,the
police commissioner, Webstar Bepura,the bindura mayor and one of the top
president Robert Mugabe's loyalist, Menard Muzariri,senior central
intelligance organisation operative and Dick Mafiosi.
Due to the pressure on me and the situation of things in the country , after
l have been discharged from the hospital ,that they will still attack me,I
decided to move to the Republic of South Africa(as all my hope is no more)
and was declared as a political aslyum seeker where my father had
deposited the Money in the Security Company as family valuables to withdraw
it and put to use for the fact that l have no other hope.
My hopes was turn down as it is against the human right law of South Africa
for asylums seeking refugee in their country to have an account with there
banks or to have an enterprise in their country. Refugee (SECTION 22 ACT OF
THE REFUGEE ACT NO 13 OF1998) prohibits it and failure to comply on this is
against the SECTION 37(B1 and B9) of the South African Refugee laws
financial laws (f1,fa2)
After all this l decided to seek for an advice on the best way to retrieve
this money ,and i was advised that the best way is for me to contact oversea
partner(not living in South Africa) so that you can help me because as
aslyum seeker here the human right law of the country will not allow me as l
am living here and will not allow any person that is from or operating in
the country (South Africa) So l decided to contact you so that you can
assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa, because as asylum
seeker l am not allowed to operate any bank account within South Africa .
This money l intend to use for investment and growth in your country.As I
have two options for you,
(A)firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for
nominating your account for this transaction.
(B)Or you can go into partnership with me the proper profitable investment
of the money in your country.
Whichever the option you want,feel free to notify me.
I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might
incure in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a
partnership with me i am willing to give you 25% of the money while the
remaining 70% will remain for my family investment which you will still help
me in investing this money in your country as you can understand that l do
not have any knowledge of international business.
If you are realy capable and willing to assist me please contact me
immediately with this e-mail address with which l have sent you this
message. Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible, I am in
dire need to leave this country soonest because of my life.
