You might be surprise to receive this letter from me since
you don?t know me personally. I am mrs MONICA MABELthe wife
of late Mr Micheal Mabel who was murdered by the Zimbabwe
war veterans and irate black people.
I am writing this letter from harare, Zimbabwe. I got your
contact e-mail address through South Africa chamber of
commerce and industry. After due consideration of your
profile, hence I decided to write to you. I write to
solicit for your special assistance to my family shattered
by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his
(ZANU-PF) ruling party, President ROBERT MUGABE.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe the
government Secretly sponsored the war veterans and some
irate party members to disposed the land being occupied by
the white farmers.This action has led to killing of some
members of opposition party including my husband who did
not support this ill-fated action.But before the death of
my husband,he anticipated some
dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of US$25.5 million
dollars(Twenty-five million five hundred thousand united
state dollars) to South Africa and deposited it in a
Security Company with the intention of using it for the
purchase of farm machinery and chemicals for agricultural
Purpose in South Africa and establishment of a new farm in
Swaziland.
This money was deposited in a box as a germ stone to avoid
much demurrage in the Security Company. On the 29 august
2003 the war veterans and some potters of(ZANU-PF) ruling
party trooped into our compound and axed my husband to
death and my second son of 25yrs.Since then they have been
terrorizing my son JOHN but he managed to escape to
neighbouring country South Africa as a political asylum
seeker (refugee).
His position in South Africa does not permit him to open an
account or to oparate any business.That is why I want this
fund to be transferred in your account so that you will

him to open a non-resident bank account in your name which
will aid us in transferring the money into your nominating
account overseas.
I have two option for you, firstly, you can choose to have
certain percentage of the money for nominating your account
in this transaction or we can go into pertnership with you
for the proper profitable investment of the money in your
country, whichever the option you want fell free to notify
with him. He will then furnish you with every detail you
needed to know.We have also mapped out 5% of the total sum
for any expenses that might be iurred during the time of
this transaction.
