PRESIDENTIAL PARK JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Mobile TEL:27 73 2455020
Dear Henk,
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR DAVID UDOLEY, the son of late MR. MARK UDOLEY, who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.I got your contact during my search for reliable & compitent foreigner to handle a confidential financial transaction, then I decided to write you. My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling government of President ROBERT MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party.
Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum of Eighteen million Five hundred thousand US Dollars ($18.5m) with a security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as a gem/precious stone to avoid much dumourage from the security firm.This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and theestablishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.This land problem arose when President R.MUGABE introduced a new land Act. which wholly affects the White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government.
This resulted to rampant killing and mob actions.I and my family who are currently staying in South Africa as a refugee or an asylum seeker have decided to contact your as foreiner or beneficiary of the Trunck Case containing the Cash (USD18.5M) for futher transfer of the money to a foreign country where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of claiming or investing this amount of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have the same political history.
Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such investment hence I am seeking for anasylum or refugee.I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of your business does not necessary matter. So if you are willing to assist us
claim the ownership of this money,I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money, 40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and another 35% will be for me and my family which we shall also invest in your country and the remaining 5%will be mapped out for all expenses we may incurred during the transaction.
Therefor, if you are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my email address or the above numbers. Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this business depends on how secret it is
been kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
DAVID UDOLEY
FOR THE FAMILY
