Dear Sir,
My name is Mr Damain Feleyeh, a national of Zimbabwe, I am writing to you
for help on humanitarian grounds, in return for 25% of USD16,000,000.00.As
you are probably aware, Zimbabwean Whites have for years now been
systematically evicted from their farms while Looters burned and destroyed
white-owned farms . These atrocities were caused by black veterans of the
war for independence that ended white rule(Ian Smith) in 1980. The conflict
arose from the unequal land distribution inherited by the Government of
Zimbabwe at independence. At that time a majority of black Zimbabweans were
crowded into communal areas, comprising 41 percent of the land, while a few
thousand white commercial farmers owned 39 percent of the land, including
most of the land in the primeagricultural areas. Initially, Zimbabwe made
progress in countering inequities in land ownership. During the 1990's,
however, the reform process stalled, frustrating many of those waiting since
1980 to settle on agriculturally viable land. Some could wait no longer. As
a result, since February 2000, over 1600 farms have been forcibly occupied
by "black veterans" with associated violence resulting in many persons being
injured and killed. This also ignited demonstrations, racial violence,
savage and brutal murders of white farmers and their families.To cut a long
story short, late last year, my Patron and employer, Mr. Blerk Valdemarca,
his wife and three teenage children (a daughter and two sons) were brutally
and savagely murdered in their farm at Doma region, about 70 miles
north-west of Harare, capital of Zimbabwe. Labelled a white lover and
sympathyzer, (because I continued my job as Foreman despite repeated
warnings by the veterans groups to quit), my life was in great danger, and I
ran away to a secret safe house in Avondale, Harare, where I still stay. I
am therefore being very cautious because I am still on the secret "wanted"
list of the Veterans.Before his death, Mr. Valdemarca (a very wealthy
farmer) had concluded secret arrangements like most white folk to leave
Zimbabwe. It was a long and careful preparation. Being that he trusted me, I
assisted him in an arrangement and He boxed all his cash holdings, about
USD16m and "shipped" out the money through a secure network to Europe. Of
course by then Bank to Bank transfers were made impossible for whites by the
Government. The mode of shipping and the exact location of the money in
Europe shall remain a secret for the time being...The money which was sent
to Europe in October, 2004, and it is still sitting in a Safe Deposit Vault.
If you help me get the money, then 25% of the $16Million USD will be yours.
There is nothing illegal or risky about this "transaction". as I have all
the relative information and documents of the money and the shipment. I am
therefore appealing for your assistance in order to get the money out. Any
person with the right CODES (which I have) will claim outright ownership of
the money which is in cash.Due to my current fugitive status Here in London
, i can not make claims to this fund or do i have the necessary requirements
to open up bank account neither can i invest this fund. , I will be unable
to travel to Spain. But if the funds become available, I will be rest
assured that this fund is in safe hands and are been invested so that as
soon as i gain my freedom from this refugee camp here in london i can
proceed to join you and start my life and that of my family and from there
travel to any part of the world and live the rest of my life, this life will
help secure my future and that of my family, i hope to invest in your
country and will need your advice and guidiance to do this, it will be a
kind of patnership.If you are interested, please reply through my email
address urgently giving me the following information (1) Your Telephone
No;(2)Your Fax No; (3) Your Contact Address. On receipt of your reply, I
will send you more details and how to contact the security company and make
this claims.
I am trusting on your response.
