(PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL)
Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am MRS ISABEL DUBASI the wife of MR. BENSON DUBASI,who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through Johannesburg Chamber of commerce hence I decided to writes you.
Before the death of my husband, he had notified me about the money $21m
(Twenty One Million United States Dollars) he deposited in Johannesburg
South Africa with one of the private security companies,as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box aspersonal
valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the Security
Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms andestablishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE
introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers. This resulted to killing and mob action
by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, alot
of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for which my husband
was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, my children and I who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my husbands money to a foreign
country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from opening any
bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zones of South Africa. I am now saddled with the responsibility
of seeking for a genuine foreigner who can provide us with a reliable
account where this money could be transferred into .All I seek for is an
honest person, whom I can entrust with my future and that of my family.
I must also let you know that this transaction demands absolute
confidentiality.If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want from
you is to help us with an account in your name which will aid us in
transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas.
This money We intend to use for investment and growth in your country. I For
your efforts we are prepared to give to you 20% of the total funds, Or you
can go into partnership with us for 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
inure in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership
I am willing to give you the percentage proposed above.
If you are really capable and willing to assist us please contact me
immediately with this e-mail address with which I have sent you this message
or you may call my son Joseph on this Telephone number 27-83-666-40-66.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible, I am in dire need
to leave this country soonest with my family.
Thanks for your mutual co-operation.
We await your urgent response.

MRS.ISABEL DUBASI
