Dear,
You will be surprise to receive this letter since you don't know me personally but for the purpose of introduction, I am MRS SINDI PHOKOMPE the wife of ENGR.THOMPSON D.PHOKOMPE,who was recently murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe on 22/08/2002.
Actually i got your contact from my personal search through internet web page and i deceided immediately to contact and solicit for your humble assistance. My husband was among the few whites murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUAD of the ruling party of Zimbabwean government of President Robert Mugabe on the 22nd of August 2002,for his alleged support and sympathy for the opposition party controlled by the whites.Before his death he has taken me to South Africa and deposit(Fourty one point three million united states dollars)(US$41.3M)with a security and finace company for safe-keeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe.
This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled (GEMSTONE) with the security company, This money was BUDGETED for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals for the farms and the establishment of new farms settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when president robert mugabe introduced a new land acts which wholly affected the rich white farmers, This resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings, arson and mob actions by the war veterans and some political thugs. precisely, more than one hundred and seven(107)people have been killed and many others maimed for life in the past, and up till this JANUARY 2003, BBC and CNN have reported of
more killings in the farm land violence. Heads of government from the western world, especially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation over mugabe's obnoxious land acts. Subsequently the Southern African development community(S.A.D.I)has continuously supported mugabe's new land reform Acts. It is against this backgroud that I and my two sons who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer this money out of South Africa into a trusted foreign account. As my husband is dead I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign business partners/account where this money could be transfered to, without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my family's wealth back home. Presently we are residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of an appeal filed on our behalf by our attorney for the department of Home Afairs to grant us asylum status.
At the moment we in dilemma to the fiscal laws prohibiting South African Refugees on monetary policy. We request that this proposal should be granted so that we can be able to transfer this money to your nominated account outside South Africa for investment purposes only.As a business person whom I wish to entrust my future and that
of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transactionis 100% risk free as far as you keep it confidential, the modalities to this transfer is ready with the help of a top banker who is also a top member of the south african ruling party(AFRICAN NATIONAL CONGRESS)But the problem we are facing is how to get an honest/God
fearing person who is responsible that can keep this money safe pending my physical arrival in the persons country.
That is why this proposal comes to you. at the conclusion of this you will be offered 20% out of the total sum for your assistance,75% will be for me and my family while 5% for any other expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction.
Please reply this mail so that i will inform you the next step to follow in order to conclude this transaction as soon as possible on the receipent of your approval.
Waiting for your urgent response and God bless you and your family.
kindest regard,
Mrs Sindi phokompe.
