Hello Dear,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally, I am ABDUL MOHAMED the first son of ALHAJI ABDUL USMAN who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through network online hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$18.5 Milllion(EIGHTEEN AND HALF MILLION) United States Dollars, in one of the private security company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as gemstones to avoid much demurrage from security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and established of new farm in Swaziland, another neighbouring country.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks farmers. And this resulted to killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some opportunist 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 victim.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father’s money to foreign account since the law of South Africa prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout 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 without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we 've got. The South African government seems to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future since both countries have similar political history . Moreover, the South African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow such investments for an asylum seeker.
As a business man, whom do I entrust my future since both my future and that of my family are in my hands.I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free.
This money, I intended to use for investment.I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever of the options you want, feel free to notify me I have also mapped 5% of this money for all expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer partnership I am willing to give you only 20% of the money while the remaining 75% will be for our investment in your country.
Contact me with this alternative E-mail address :abdulsfamily2002@hotmail.com OR Telephone number:+27-83-992-5113 while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
I will apreciate your urgent response or call towards this our request.
Thanks and God bless you.
Yours Faithfully,
ABDUL MOHAMED.
(FOR THE FAMILY).
