Subject: FAMILY'S WEALTH
ATT: SIR/MADAM,
CONFIDENTIAL
Our present situation have made us to decide to send you this email which I
am sure will come to you as a surprise. Please we mean you no harm only we
are in a desperate situation and need urgent help. After going through this
email it will be your decision, whether to help this bereaved family or to
leave us to our faith, but whatever you decide, bear in mind, we are in
trouble and need help and you are our only hope. I am MR.NELSON KHUMALO, the
SON of late HARRY KHUMALO the Zimbabwean farm lord, one of the major victims
in the land reform crisis in Zimbabwe. Our country Zimbabwe is in a near
civil war with no end in sight. The President Robert Mugabe had introduced a
new land reform act meant to deprive and relocate all the major Farms in
Zimbabwe. This has resulted in the Zimbabwean war veteran and black mob
killing, looting and displacing the entire major farms in Zimbabwe. Thousand
have been killed and my father was one of the major victims, as we own one
of the biggest modern farms in the Southern Africa region. Shortly before my
father was murdered in cold-blooded, he took me to South Africa with my
mother JUDITH KHUMALO and deposited the sum of US$17,000.000.00 (seventeen
million united dollars) into a security and finance house in South Africa.
It was deposited as a family valuable to avoid unnecessary attention and
high demurrage payment as this money was actually meant for the development
and building of an ultra modern farms in Southern African region.
Faced with this situation, I ran to South Africa with my remaining family
were we are now, to claim these funds (US$ 17,000.000.00) since it was
lodged in through me and I have in my possession all the necessary
documents. We had plan to invest this money in South Africa, but because of
our status here as an Asylum Seeker {refugees} we are not allow any
investment or financial rights not even to operate a bank account in the
country coupled with the nearness of South African to our country, and so
our decision to move out of Africa. We are seeking for an outside assistant
-YOU -(as our family friend or foreign partner) to help us receive this
money through your personal or company’s account as the beneficiary. Please
do understand that there is no risk of any kind involve in this. All that we
required of you is your reliability and trustworthiness not to take
advantage of our vulnerable position in this. We need not remind you of the
confidential and private nature of this, please keep all these information’s
very confidential at all cost. Please contact me immediately at this private
Phone numbers: 27 73 9976 551, or e-mail (nelson123za30@yahoo.co.uk) we are
running out of time due to the expiration of our resident permit here. May
God be with you and your family, and grant you the strength and wisdom to
help us.
Remain blessed.
Best regards
MR.NELSON KHUMALO (for the family)
