ATTN:
Compliments of the day,I hope that as you receive this very personal Letter,you will eliminate any prejudice based on the information,I am a 58 Year old Widow and the wife to the Late Mr.Gibson Ncube,a prominent Black Zimbabwean farmer who was brutally attacked and murdered in our farm in Late 2002,my Late Husband was the Secreatary of the Matabeleland Branch of the opposition MDC(Movement for Democratic change) opposed to the ruling party,ZANU-PF.My decision to contact you is that I need your assistance because I contacted you after a lot of prayers and I had to consult with my Son,Pascal and Daughter Miriam,my decision to contact you is that I am presently suffering from Breast Cancer and I have to return to Zimbabwe to continue less expensive treatment for my condition hence I do not know how much longer I can live.My Husband's murder was a calculated attempt to rid him of his farm however he got the tip off that he was targeted for attack by the War veterans and arranged!
for the disposal of all the Mechanized equipment he had on the Farm,my husband was employing almost 420 farm workers and had planned to relocate to Neighbouring Botswana and set up another farm with the proceeds of the sale of his properties.
My Late husband,had arranged for buyers from South-Africa who had come for inspection and had then invited him to Johannesburg for payment,he was given the first installment of US$8.5 Million and promised that he would receive the balance after they had removed the equipment,due to the desperate and dangerous situation,he had accepted this condition,it took 2 weeks for the equipment to be removed from the farm and my husband was then getting ready to return to Johannesburg for the second instalment payment when he was attacked the same night,by then,myself,my son and daughter had moved to Harare and heard about the attack by radio,my husband was hospitalized after the attack and the farm was burnt to the ground because the attackers realised he had sold off all the equipment,my husband was hospitalized at the St,Theresa's Hospital and while I went to visit him,he informed me of the existence of this US$8.5 Million in a storage company in Johannesburg and instructed me to go !
to Johannesburg to secure the money.
This is the reason why I have contacted you for assistance to act as the owner of the box at the Storage Company because when he made the deposit,he told them the box belonged to his foreign partner that would be arriving to pick it up,this was done by him to avoid inspection of the contents,the storage company does not know what is inside the box, my family requires your assistance for the following reasons
[1] To Act as the owner of the money which is not being traced or investigated,this money is proceeds of my Late husband's sale of his farm equipment.
[2] As a foreign partner,the box will be released to you by the Security Company upon giving the 6 pin code my husband had provided.
[3] To assist my Family to re-locate from South-Africa after this money has left South-Africa with your assistance.To this End,you will be required to arrive to South-Africa for only 3 days in order to open a Non-resident Account that will be used to transfer this money via Bank transfer.
[4] My Family has taken out Asylum permits here enabling us to reside as refugees,it will not be possible to lay claim to this money whatsoever,
Please understand that this is not a get rich quick scheme,this is the cry of a family in desperate need for assistance because we do not know what to do with this money but our only need is to leave South-Africa and re-locate in your country and start a new lease of life and enable me to receive better medical treatment for my condition.By the time you receive this private correspondence,I may have returned to Zimbabwe however my son,Pascal who is 32 Years old is remaining here in order to respond to you and give you further details of what is required to be done.You can contact Pascal by Telephone or Facsimile or by Email as he is only remaining here because of this money,he had to stop his studies temporarily till this money is transferred and then when we re-locate to your Country,he will resume his studies.Please take note of the above contact details,if this Letter does not touch your conscience,please destroy it immediately.Thank you and kind regards.
Yours Sincerely,
Madam Rosemary Ncube.
Johannesburg/Harare.
