From: "morgan chambati" <mchambati05@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 06 Oct 2005 13:58:22 +0200
Subject: CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
Engr.Morgan Chambati
JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally. I am Engr. Morgan Chambati the son of Mr. Milton Chambati,who
was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through Johannesburg Chamber of commerce hence I decided to write you.
Before the death of my father , he had notified me about the money
$22m(Twenty two Million United States Dollars) he deposited in Johannesburg
South Africa with one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw
the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as
personal valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the
Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines
and chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President MR. ROBERT MUGABE
introduced a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some few black farmers.This resulted to killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In
fact, a lot of people were killed because of this land reformed Act for
which my father was one of the victims. It is against this background that,
I and my sister who are currently staying in South Africa decided to
transfer our fathers money to a foreign country since the law of South
Africa prohibits refugees from opening any bank account or to be involved in
any financial transaction throughout the territorial zones of South Africa.
I am now saddled with the responsibility of seeking for a genuine
foreigner who can provide us with a reliable account where this money could
be transferred into .All I seek for is an honest person, whom I can entrust
with my future and that of my family.
I must also let you know that this transaction demands absolute
confidentiality. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want from
you is to help us with an account in your name which will aid us in
transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This
money We intend to use for investment and growth in your country. For your
efforts we are prepared to give to you 20% of the total funds, Or you can go
into partnership with us for the proper profitable investment of the money
in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I
have also mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might
incure in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a
partnership I am willing to give you the percentage proposed above. If you
are really capable and willing to assist us please contact me through my
email. Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible; I am in dire
need to leave this country soonest with my family.
We await your urgent response.
Best Regards,
Engr. Morgan Chambati.
(for the family)
