Subject: HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY?
JOHNNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA
TELEPHONE NUMBER 27-73-798-7787
FROM:MRS NOMBULELO ZUMA
{FROM ZIMBABWE}
Dear Sir/Madam,
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me
personally, I am Mrs.NOMBULELO ZUMA, the wife of late Dr.ALFRED ZUMA, who
was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
details through network on-line when I was searching for the best place to
reside or to invest my husband's wealth, then I came across your detail and
decided to seek for your assistance.
My late husband was among the few blacks Zimbabwe rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe
for his alleged support and sympathy of the Zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the whites.
Before his death, he took me and my son COLLINS to Johannesburg to deposit
the sum of US$17.2 Million (SEVTEEN MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND United
states Dollars)in COLLINS's name as the beneficiary with a private Security
and Finance Company as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The
money was deposited as a consignment in a box to the security company to
avoid seizure, and to avoid much demurrage from the security company. This
money was for the purchase of new machines for the farm and establishment of
a new farm in swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduce a new land
act which wholly effects the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently
condemned the modus operadi adopted by the government that resulted to
rampant killings and mob actin by the war veteransand some political thugs,
precisely more than sixty one (61) people have been killed. Heads of
government from Western World especially Britain and United States of
America have voice their condemnation of Mugabe's plans.
Subsequently, the South African development community (SADC) has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land reform act. It is against this
background that I and my family who are currently staying in south Africa
have decided to transfer my husband's money into a foreign account.Please,if
you are willing to help me,I and my son have agreed to give you 25% while
5%will be for any expenses incurred in the process of this transaction while
70% will be for my family investment in your Country.
As the only wife to my late husband, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking for an account here this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who had tactically freezing our family wealth and
South African Government seems to be playing along side with them. We have
decided not to invest this amount of money in South Africa for the fear of
seizure and encountering the same experience in future since both countries
have almost the same political history. More so the South African Foreign
Exchange policy does not allow such investment hence we are asyllum seekers.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. Therefore if
you accept this proposal,please contact my son COLLINS zuma who is the
beneficiary with the telephone number 27-73-798-7787 Or email:
collins8682@hotmail.com
Please do send a mail , but you should know that this is highly confidential
and shall be kept within you alone.Have a nice stay and GOD bless you.
Best regards,
MRS.NOMBULELO ZUMA.
