Subject: Mr.Aliya Mepoyo
Dear Friend,
Greetings from me to you. I know you don’t know me personally, but please can you be of assistance to me out of this difficult situation that my family has been engulfed in since my beloved father and bread winner of our family was murdered on the 3rd of march 2002 in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by Supporters of President Robert Mugabe, in his envy and greediness to claim all the farmers land for his party members and his followers.
I am writing this letter on behalf of my family. My name is Mr. Aliya Mepoyo, the son of late Mr. Thomas Mepoyo of Trelawney Midlands province of Harare Zimbabwe who was brutally murdered on the 3rd of March 2002 by Supporters of President Robert Mugabe. For a clear picture of my story please log on to: <http://www.zimbabwesituation.com/may4_2002.html>
After the burial of my father, for the safety of my family I relocated to South Africa for the time being. Recently one of the financial institutions in London informed us of the sum of US$9.5 Million (Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) my father had deposited in an Investment account in the field of private banking in one of the Investment Banks in United Kingdom before his untimely death. I want to use this money to relocate my family to the West where we can live a normal life and most importantly to take adequate care of my illness.
The reason why I’m seeking for your assistance is due to the South African monetary policy on refugees/asylum seekers is so stiff, In the sense that I can not invest this funds here as it is against the law of South African government for refugees/asylum seekers to be involved or to participate in any financial transaction.
Your assistance in receiving this US$9.5 Million and relocating my family will be highly appreciated. On the grounds that if you agree to assist me and my family in transferring this funds into your account, I will let you know the benefiting conditions of your assistance in my next correspondence.
Do contact me immediately through this my family Email address: aliya_wwx@yahoo.fr
to first open communication with you before elaborating further on what need to be done. More so, to commence this transaction, we require you to immediately indicate by a return Email and enclose your private contact telephone and fax numbers and name, to enable us communicate further.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Aliya Mepoyo
For and on behalf of Mepoyo’s Family
Kindly reply through this my family private Email address: aliya_wwx@yahoo.fr
