please do consider this letter as a request from a family in dare need of
assistance .I am Robert Kudo the only son of late Smith Kudo of Zimbabwe
,presently residing in Johannesburg ,South Africa. I got your contact from
the South Africa Chamber of commerce and Industry, and I on behalf of my
widowed mother Mrs blessing Kudo decided to solicit for your assistance to
transfer the sum of US$18.5 Millon which i inherited from my late father
into your personal or company for investment and security reason.
My father was killed during the current war against farmers in Zimbabwe
from the support of our present President Robert Mugabe to claim all the
white owned farms to his party members and his followers .He order! ed all
white farmers to surrender all their farms to his party members and
followers . My father is one of best farmers in our country although he is a
black man but he didn't
support Mugabe's ideas ,Mugabe's supporters therefore invaded my father's
farm and burnt everything in the farm ,killed my father and made away with a
lots of items in my father's farm.Before my father's death, he had deposited
with one of the security and finance company here
in Johannesgurg, South Africa the sum of US$18.5 MILLION (EIGHTEEN MILLION
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UITED STATE DOLLARS ).After the death of my father we
decided to move
to the republic of South Africa where he had deposited the money in the
security company as valuables .
So we decided to contact you toassist my family to transfer this money
out of South Africa ,because as asylum seekers we are not allowed to operate
any bank account within South Africa we have ageed to offer you 20% of the
total sum for y! our assistance ,10% will be
mapped out for any expenses that may be incurred in the course of this
transaction ,and 70% will be for me and my family to invest in your country.

depend on this money ,as such i will be very happy if you can assist
us ,and all i want you to do is to furnish me with your entire telephone and
fax numbers for easy communication.you can contact me on the above e-mail
address or alternate email address [robertkudo001@yahoo.co.uk]
