URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Don't be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me
in person. For the purpose of introduction I am Mrs.Monika SMITH from Zimbabwe
the wife of Mr.SMITH Mnzike who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe
by the agents of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his
alleged support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority
white famers.
My husband was among the few black Zimbawean rich famers murdered in cold
blood by the war vetrans backed by the government. Before the death of my
husband, he went South Africa to deposit the sum of US$20.5M (Twenty Million
Five hundred thousand United State Dollars) With one of the security company
in South Africa, as if he knew the looming danger in ZIMBABWE. The money
was deposited as a gem and precious stone to avoid much demurrage from the
security firm. The money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery
and chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho
and Swaziland. This Land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced
a new land act. Which wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few
blacks vehemently condemned the "Modus operandi" adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampart killing and Mob actions. My Son and I are staying
in South Africa as an Asylum seeker, I have decided to transfer this money
to a foreign country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma
of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering
the same experience in future since both countries have the same political
policy/law does not allow investment hence I am seeking for an asylum or
refugees.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature
of your business does not necessary matter. So if you are willing to assist
us , I and my family have agreed to give you 25% of the total money,70%
will be for me and my family, the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all
expenses, we might incur during the transaction .
Therefore if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance,
endeavor to reply through my mail .I also need your private telephone and
fax numbers for easy communication. Remember that this is highly confidential
and success of this business depends on how secret it is kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards,
MRS.MONIKA SMITH(FOR THE FAMILY).
