Atten:
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me as you don't know me in person, but please take this mail into consideration. I am Mr. Nicholas Kular,the son of late Mr. JOHNSON KULAR, who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. Kindly assist me to handle a very confidential transaction which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you, my late father was among the few black farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe (Z.A.N.U.P.F) for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean white minority farmers.I apologise to contacting you through this medium.
Before his death, he had earlier taken to South Africa the sum of US$ 26.5 Million (Twenty -Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) he deposited this money with a Security Company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This money was for purchase of new machinery and chemical for farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. The money was deposited in a metal box as family VALUABLES AND PERSONAL EFFECTS to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the white farmers and some few black farmers vehemently condemned this policy adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs.Precisely, More than two hundred and sixty five (265)people have so far been killed,and property worth millions of Dollars destroyed. Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe'splan.
African leaders and South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land act,as they are birds of the same feathers.It is against this background that I and my family who are currently residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my Father's money into a foreign account. 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 without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family wealth and South Africa's government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same political history.Also, the South African monetary policy is not favourable to us as we are seeking for an "ASYLUM".I am soliciting for your honest assistance to take this money out of here to enable us start a !
new life elsewhere.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free and the nature of what you does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, we are ready to give you 20% of the total sum, 75% for me and my family while 5% will be for any expenses we may be incured in the course of this transaction. We wish to invest our part of the money on commercial property based on your
advice.
If this appeal is acceptable to you, please confirm your interest via the above telephone number or better still email.Reply with your contact details so that we can reach you as quick as possible inorder to put things in motion.
Best Regards.
Mr.Nicholas Kular (For the Family).
