HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND URGENT BUSINESS ASSISTANCE
_________________________________________________
ATTN: SIR / MADAM,
I am Mrs.LILIAN DUBE, wife of late MICHEAL DUBE who was murdered by the
Zimbabwean veterans and irrate black people.Before the death of my husband
on the 29th of Oct 2003, he was a Properous Tobacco and Coffee farmer in
Zimbabwe and one of the major sponsor/ Financier of the opposition party -
Movement For Democratic Change(MDC)in Zimbabwe. He was also the former
president of Farmers Co-operative Trade Union in Zimbabwe.
I am writing you from Johanessburg,South Africa. I got your contact email
address through the South African International Information Exchange Centre
and decided to write you. I write to solicit for your special assistance to
a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by the dictator President
ROBERT MUGABE and his(ZANU-PF) ruling party.
I am probably of the convinction that you are aware of the present situation
in my country Zimbabwe sequel to the land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe,
the government secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irrate party
members to disposes the land being occupied by whites and some rich farmers
who are opposed to his consistent stay in power and his radical and
unnecessary reforms targeted at his political opponents.
This action has led to the killing of some members of the opposition party
including my husband(MICHEAL DUBE),who did not support this ill-fated
action. But before the death of my husband and the consistent threats to his
life, he anticipated some dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of
US$55.m(FIFTY FIVE Million United States Dollars), to South Africa since it
is the nearest neighbouring country and deposited it in a security company
with the intention of using it for the purchase of New farm machinery and
chemicals for Agricultural purposes in South Africa as well as a purchase of
some hectares of land in swaziland.
On the 29th Oct, 2003, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband) to death.
Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son, MICHEAL (JR) but I
succeeded to work for his escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as
a political asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does
not permit him to open an account or normalise this fund for any meaningful
business transaction in south Africa since He does not have a south Africa
Identity Card. That is why I want this fund to be transferred into your
Norminated account so that you will assist him to invest it in your country.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we have two options for you, we have agreed
to go into partnership with you and your family or in the alternatve, we
offer you 20%of the money for your assistance, 5% will be for the possible
expenses incurred in the process of this transaction,while 75%will be for
our family investment in your country,through your
assistance.
I want you to understand that this fund is purely a family fund/ money and
not drug money, nor could it be classified as government fund or Money
Laundering affairs and it could be substanciated by relevant authorties by
our attorney.It is Family fund but termed confidential because I do not want
my son to be traced to where he is presently. If you are interested in
assisting us, kindly contact my son or myself with this email
liliandube22za@yahoo.com address,and the telephone number above. Right now,
I am presently in south Africa with MICHEAL(JR) my son and the whole of my
family sequel to the tensed political situation and the fear for our lives
in Zimbabwe. I need your urgent and confidential response.
Thanks. Best regards
Mrs:LILIAN DUBE
(For the Family.
