Subject: Dear Friend
Dear friend,
With warm heart I offer my friendship and greetings and I hope this mail
meets you in good time. However strange or surprising this contact might
seem to you as we have Not met personally or had any dealings in the past, I
Humbly ask that you take due consideration of its Importance and the immense
benefit it will be to you.
After careful consideration with my family, eresolved to contact you for
your most neededassistance in this manner. I duly apologize forinfringing on
your privacy, if this contact is notacceptable to you, as I make this
proposal to you as aperson of integrity.
For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr George Moyo the son of late
Brigadier Judge Moyo from Zimbabwecurrently hiding in South Africa as
refugee. My fathersevered in the ZANU PF Government lead by RobertMugabe in
Zimbabwe. He operated in Mozambique, Angola,and Congo formerly Zaire lead by
Mubutu Seseseko, during this period He was used as a confidante byRobert
Mugabe and his hierarchy to carry out theirshady deals of smuggling Diamonds
and gold from mineswhich were situated in areas controlled by
Zimbabweansoldiers.
During this period He managed to accumulate a personal fortune of
US$18,000,000 (Eighteen Million UnitedStates Dollars) which he secretly
Lodged with asecurity and finance company here in South Africa as'precious
Stones” for safety and because of the fearof my country president Robert
Mugabe.
Before the 2002 presidential election in Zimbabwe myfather defected to the
opposition Movement forDemocratic Change (MDC) because he defied an order
tosend a contingent of his battalion to go and attackinnocent white farmers
for refusing to give up their farm land, as a result of that and because of
theposition and the secret duties that my father executedfor ZANU PF he was
put under surveillance by thecentral intelligence organisation and Mugabe’s
secretpolice. He was caught and thrown into the prison and later he was
killed by Robert Mugabe and is partners
Before his death, me managed to smuggle out a letterto me intimating me
about the existence of the sum, which he deposited with the security and
financecompany in South Africa, which he acquired during hisoperations for
Robert. Mugabe and ZANU PF. He instructed me to take the remaining members
of thefamily to South Africa immediately, as if he foresaw his death.
Because of the strong relationship existing between the current South
Africa Government and Zimbabwean Government it is increasingly becoming too
risky for me and my family to remain in South Africa. As a, result of this I
am seeking your assistance to help us, (me and my family) clear this funds
which my late father deposited in the security company and deposit ,it in
your personal account in your country for ourinvestment.
If you are willing to assist us, we are prepared to give you 30% of the
total sum as compensation, and 10% is set aside to settle any expenses that
we might incur during the cause of clearing and transferring this funds to
your nominated account, while the
remaining 60% will be for us (me and my family) for our investment in your
country, under your supervision and with you as our fund manager and
general overseer.
For more information regarding this transaction, kindly give me a call on
this number, +27-887-6222.
Your urgent response is highly needed.
Best regards,
Mr George Moyo (for the family
