ATTN:DIRECTOR
( HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL)
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you do not know me
personally. I got your contact through Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce.
I am John Kullar, the son of late Mr Jacob Kullar, who was recently
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. My late father was among the few
black Zimbabwean rich farmers who was murdered in cold blood by the agents
of the ruling Government of President Mugabe for allegedly supporting the
party controlled by the white minority.
Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa the
sum of US$25.5M (Twenty five million, five hundred thousand dollars) and
deposited it with a private Security and Finance company as if he foresaw
the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money is contained in a metallic trunk box and he registered it as
family treasures and valuables for adequate security reasons. The fund/money
was meant to purchase new agricultural machines and chemicals for farmers
in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land dispute sparked off when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new
land act that wholly affected the white farmers and, some few blacks who
vehemently condemned the modus oparandi adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampage and mob action by the war veterans and some
political thugs in which more than fifty-one (51) people were killed
including my father.
May his soul rest in perfect peace.
Heads of Governments from the West especially Britain and America have
voiced their condemnation against Mugabe’s plan.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine partner and account where this money will be transferred
without exposing the whole situation.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for fear
of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have
almost the same political history.
Moreso, South African Monetary Laws does not allow refugees/ asylum seekers
to engage in any business activities neither are they allowed to open any
bank account.
Therefore, I am seeking for your very good assistance to transfer this money
out of South Africa into your overseas chosen account.
For your efforts and assistance I have made up my mind to offer you 20% of
the total fund, and 5% will be for any unforeseen expenses that we might
encounter in the process of the transfer, and 75% will be for my Investments
in your country under your guidance.
Please should this request meet your utmost consideration, kindly contact me
via my tel/fax number above . Feel free to ask any question you consider
necessary and in return try to include your private phone and fax number for
easier communication.
The confidentiality of this request cannot be over emphasized as we trust
and believe that you will oblige us in the need for security and attention
it demands. Please treat this transaction with absolutely confidentiality
and urgency it deserves.
Thanks for your Understanding,
John Kullar
for the family
