ATTN : THE DIRECTOR / CEO
Dear sir / madam
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am MR. DANIEL NGEZI, the first son of MR. EDWARD NGEZI, who
was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. Before the death of
my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of
US$21Million {Twenty One Million United States Dollars}, in one of the
security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage
from the Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for the firm and establishment of a new farm in
Swaziland. This land problem come 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 the killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and
some lunatics in the society.
In fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for
which my father was one of the victims cause he was a top opposition party
member.It is again this back ground that, my family and I who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father's money to a foreign
country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees open any form of
bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zones of South Africa.
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 into
without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything
that belongs to my late father. All I seek for is an honest businessman,whom
I can entrust my future and that of my family.
I must also let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. This money
I intend to use for investment growth in your country.
I am willing to give you 25% of the money while 5% will be mapped for any
expenses that migth occur in the cause of this transaction,the remaining 70%
will remain for me and my family. If you are capable and willing to assist
me please contact me immediately with the above Tel,or this E-mail address
with which I have sent you this massage.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible, I‘m in dire need to
leave this country soonest.
Thanks for your co-operation,
Expecting your soonest response.
Best Regards,
MR. DANIEL NGEZI
