Dear Sir,
RE: ASSISTANCE AND JOINT VENTURE
My name is Mr. John Khumalo, Jr. from the Republic of Zimbabwe, and the
first son of Dr. John Ray Khumalo. It might be a surprise to you as to how I
got your contact; I got your contact from the South African Information
Exchange (SAIE) in Pretoria.
During the current war against the White farmers in Zimbabwe, from the
Supporters of President Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase the white
farmers out of the country, He ordered all the white farmers to surrender
their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father was one of the best and successful farmers in our country then and
formerly a Cabinet Member of Robert Mugabe's Administration, but he did not
support the idea of dispossessing the Land from the White farmers. Because
of this, his farm was invaded and burnt by Government Supporters. In the
course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with
a lot of items from my father's farm and our family house was totally
destroyed.
My mother almost passed away after a heart attack. Before the death of my
father, he draw to my attention to the sum of US$16.7 MILLION (SIXTEEN
MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), which he had
deposited with a private Security Company in South Africa during his tenure
as the Presidential Adviser to the President of Zimbabwe.
My mother, my younger one and myself decided to move to South Africa for our
own security, for our lives were in danger. My father, like he know what was
going to happen insure and saved these funds with a private Security and
Finance company in South Africa. However the consignment were stored as
important personal valuable by my father using his diplomatic immunity then
as Presidential adviser. I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist my
family and I in moving the money out of South Africa. I have interest and
desire to invest my share in your country, especially in your company (firm)
with you as my partner.
This became necessary after we were denied every right to run bank accounts
or any other form of financial transaction for we are political asylum
seekers in South Africa. I want immediate confirmation of your interest by
Tel +27-73459 1221 or E-mail: john_k72@hotmail.com, as soon as I get your
response I shall give out more details on how we shall proceed and also will
be in a position to give you details on the agreed sharing ratio. However, I
have decided to give you 25% of the total sum after the transaction, for
your personal use. Kindly keep this proposal strictly confidential because
of our present status here in South Africa.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards,
Mr. John Khumalo Jr.
(For the family)
