Dear Sir/Madam,
I know this may come as a surprise to you, but permit me to say that, it may
interest you to know that, I am writing following information i received from
one of my friends who runs an information technology consultancy firm. Although,
I did not tell him the details of what i want to do with your contact, this
was long before i flee Zimbabwe for my dear life, but i now deem it fit and
necessary to contact you based on the urgency of the project on ground.
I am JAMES MUGABE, a junior brother to SIR ROBERT MUGABE, the incumbent president
of the Federal Republic of Zimbabwe, and a member of his cabinet of ministers.
I had vehemently opposed my brother and his cabinet of ministers during the
hyneous crack down on white commercial farmers by way of arrest, arson, maiming
and brutalization in Zimbabwe.
Although, the militia has been responsible for some of the worst acts of violence
and brutalization during Zimbabwe’s land crises over the last two years, even
when the white commercial farmers voluntarily left their farms and properties,
the government appeared to target only white commercial farming communities,
it saw as belligerent or unco-operatives, dozensof white farmers were charged
with obstructing the law and were arrested and kept in police cells and refused
or denied bail.
The presidents of America and Britain were seriously against this developments,
even the United Nations and the rest of the world, registed their annoyance,
meanwhile famine raged unabated in Zimbabwe, one economist said there was only
food available for half the country of thirteen million people and that, interms
of the government eviction order, white commercial farmers will have to abandon
more than sixty five thousand hectres of land and crops.
As a result of my stand point, as i opposed the government's obnoxious reforms
against the white commercial farmers, i
was declared a rebel and an oppositionist to the government, this caliberated
to my being declared wanted by the government, to save my life i had to run
for refuge, so i am now on exile, but before these developments, i was my elder
brother’s(Sir Robert Mugabe) secret banker,so as it is, i have some undisclosed
amount of his money to the tune of millions of dollars stockpiled somewhere
in an off - shore account, but because i am in exile in Africa and i cannot
travel for now to claim the money, i will need your assistance to help me claim
these funds, either by way of ON - LINE BANKING or BANK TO BANK TRANSFER.
All i need do is to present or front you as the original owner of the funds,
this i will have to do by changing all
the necessary documents to your name for the funds to be in your favour, but
note that it might entail your travelling
which of course is under probability, to formally finalize this transaction
or better still, if well arranged, payment
could be made to you directly from any of their correspondence branches closer
to your country via ON - LINE BANKING or BANK TO BANK TRANSFER.
Please, if this proposal is okay by you and you do not wish to take undue advantage
of my situation, the trust and confidency i hope to repose and bestow on you
and your company, then kindly get back to me immediately via these E - mail
addresses only :james_mugabe2004@totalmail.com OR james_mugabe2004@myway.com
<mailto:james_mugabe2004@myway.com>, furnishing me with your most confidential
telephone, fax numbers and exclusive bank particulars, so that i can use these
information to apply for the change of beneficiary status/ownership, release/payment
and subseqent transfer of the funds in your favour into the bank account that
you will provide.
In anticipation of your swiftt and favourable response, i thank you.
Yours faithfully,
JAMES MUGABE
