ATTN : DIRECTOR /CEO,
this may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial; as a matter of
urgentcy, I am desparately looking for a foriegn partner whom I can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS. MONICA GEZI MARTINS wife
of late MR.MENTU GEZI MARTINS, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans
and irrate black people.
I got your address from the internet through the consultancy directory
during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this busines
with. I write to solicit for your special assistance to a 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 irrate party members to disposess the
land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of
some members of opposition party including my husband(MENTU GEZI), who did
do not support this ill-fated action.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United
States Dollars)in the name of our only son 'Louis' at a reputable security
company in South Africa with the intention of using to open fertilizer
manufacturing company among other companies in our neighbouring country
(Swaziland )after his university education.
On the 29th of July, 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of
(ZANU-PF)ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to
death. Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, Louis Gezi, but
he managed to escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee).
But his position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or
run any huge financial business. That is why I want this fund to be
transferred into your private account so that you will assist him to invest
it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for your
assistance, 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the process of
this transaction, while 70% will be for our family
investment in your country through your assistance.
I need your urgent and confidential response.
Best regards,
MONICA GEZI MARTINS(MRS)
FOR THE FAMILY
