Subject: [CRY FOR HELP] Phone: 27-73-360-1246
FROM: MRS.HELEN MULLA

Dear;
[CRY FOR HELP]
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me
personally, I am Mrs. HELEN MULLA, the wife of late Dr.Alfred Mulla, who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through South African Information exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg
and I decided to write for 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 I and my son Christ Mulla to Johannesburg to
deposit the sum of US $21.6 Million (TWENTYONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
United states Dollars) in Christ'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 act in by the war veterans and 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 where 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 asylum seekers.
I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free. Therefore if
you accept this proposal, please contact my son CHRIST MULLA who is the
beneficiary with his email adress:mrchris_2004@yahoo.com. Please do send
email, 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.HELEN MULLA.
{FOR THE FAMILY}
