Dear Sir
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
personally. I am Mr.MLAMBO KELLY the son of MARTINS MLAMBO who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a liable and
reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction which involves a
transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my late
father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of
president Robert Mugabe For his alleged support and sympathy to the
Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the white minority.
Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit the
sum of US$ 23.5 Million (Twenty three Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company
as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as valuables to avoid much demurrage from
the Security Company. This money was embarked from the purchase of new
machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in
Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and
some few blacks vehemently condemned the "modus
operandi" adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and
some political thugs. precisely, More than thirty-one (31) people have so
far been killed.Heads of governments from the west, especially
Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of
Mugabe'splan. Subsequently, South African Development Community (S.A.D.C)
has continously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this
background that I and my family who are currently
residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my Father's money into a
foreign account.
As the eldest son of my Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our
family wealth and South Africa's government seems to
be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this
money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have almost the same political history.
More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence I am seeking for an "asylum". As a business person whom I
entrusted my future and that of my family into his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is Exellent free
and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.For your
assistance,we are offering you 25% the total sum,65% for me and my family
while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses we may
incure during this transaction.We wish to invest our money on
commercial property based on your advice.
Finally,I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on this money
when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your
country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your
interest via the above TELEPHONE or you reply through email.
THANKS
BEST REGARDS.
MR MLAMBO KELLY.
