Subject: GOOD DAY FRIEND
ATT: THE DIRECTOR
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, but for the purpose of my introduction. I am Emmanuel KHUMALO
the son of Mr. LUMBA KHUMALO, who was recently murdered in the land dispute
in Zimbabwe .I got your contact from the BRITISH Information Exchange
(B.I.E) here in LONDON and I decided to write for assistance.
The agents of the ruling Government of President Robert Mugabe for his
alleged support and sympathy among the few black rich Zimbabwean farmers
murdered my late father in cold blood for the Zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the whites.
Before his death, he had taken me to LONDON to deposit the sum of FIFTEEN
MILLION, Two Hundred Thousand EUROS (EURO15, 200.000.Million), with the
Security and Finance Company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe .The money was deposited as a consignment to the security company
to avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for
farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This land
problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land Act, which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the Government, that resulted to
rampant killings and mob actions by the war veteran and some political
thugs. Precisely, more than thirty-one (31) people have been killed.
Heads of Government from the West, especially Britain and United States of
America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's plan. It is against this
background that I and my family who are currently staying in ENGLAND have
decided to transfer my father's money into a foreign account. As the eldest
son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine
foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge
of my government who are tactically freezing our family's wealth. I am faced
with the dilemma of investing this amount in ENGLAND for fear of seizure and
encountering the same experience. More so, the BRTISH Foreign Exchange
Policy does not allow such investment since I am an asylum seeker.
As a businessman who I must entrust my future and that of my family on his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk-free.
Therefore, if you accept us we are willing to offer you 20% Of the total sum
for your assistance, 70% will be for my family's investment in your country
while 10% will be used for all expenses that might be incurred during the
process of the transaction. If this proposal is acceptable to you, write me,
but you should know that this business is highly confidential and shall be
kept within your self. Please contact me on the Telephone Fax Number. Here
are my information’s Tell: +447871563348 Fax: +442081816635,
Best regards
EMMANUEL KHUMALO.
