ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO
This is to acknowledge a good report I received about your personality
through the search i made from South Africa chambers of commerce and
industries.
I am MR. Mark Kuba, the son of Sir, David kuba of Zimbabwe.
During the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe and from the support our
president ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms in our country,
all the white farmers were ordered to surrender their farms to his party
members and his followers.
My father who was one of the best farmers in our country did not support his
idea. And so the party members invaded my father’s farms and burnt
everything in the farm, killed my father and made away with a lot of
treasures in my father’s farm/house. After the death of my father, I and my
mother and my sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe because our lives were
in danger. But before then, my father has told my mum that there a box that
was deposited with a Security Company in South Africa, this money was raised
by his farmer's group for the purchasing of farming equipments/machines
before th land dispute rose.
The amount involved is US$40.5M (fourty million five hundred thousand United
States Dollars) only, but according my father, the content of the box was
not disclosed to the Security Company for security reasons, besides it was
declared as a valuable item. So we decided to make contact with an overseas
firm who will assist us to move this money out of South Africa because we
are Asylum Seekers in South Africa and the laws of this country does not
permit us some certain rights, such as operating a bank accounts,
investment, study and other monetary transaction.
So if you consider this proposal, we have agreed to give you 15% of the
total sum for helping us to move this money out of the country, and 5% will
be mapped out for expenses that both of us may incurred during the cause of
this transaction, and 80% will be for me and my family to invest in your
country or any country of our choice. All I want is for you to show us your
willingness and capability of assisting us in every aspect of this
transaction. In your willing response to this proposal, endeavor to enclose
your direct contact numbers for easy and strong communication/co-ordination
in this transaction. You can as well contact me on the above Tel numbers or
e-mail address.
NOTE: That the formalities and modalities needed in this transaction will be
made known to as soon as Trust, Prudence and confidentiality are
established. For your reputation and integrity in life, this transaction is
100% RISK FREE.
Thanks and God bless,
Best regards,
Mark kuba. [For the family}
