Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2005 06:59:06 -0800
Subject: PRIVATE
Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. The purpose of
my introduction is that I am Mazu Peter Macheke, the first son of Zuma Macheke one of the most
popular black farmers in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country. I got
your contact through network online hence decided to write you.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$9.5 million
(Nine million, Five Hundred thousand United States dollars), in one of the private security and finance
company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this funds was deposited in a box as gem
stones to avoid much demurrage from the security and finance company. This fund was meant for the
purchase of new machineries and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act
Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black farmers, and this resulted to the 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 reform Act for which my father was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently
staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking political asylum and more so have decided to transfer
my father?s money to a more reliable foreign account. since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where these funds could be transferred without the knowledge of my
government who are bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to be
playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of moving these funds out of South Africa for fear of going through the same
experience in future; both countries have similar political history. As a businessman, I am seeking for a
partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this
transaction is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an
arrangements with the security and finance company to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate
office in the Netherlands as i have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the
Netherlands from South Africa. But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like change of
ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the funds for nominating
your account for this transaction. Or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable
investment of the funds 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 incurred in the process of this transaction. If
you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10% of the money while the remaining 85% will be
for my investment in your country.
Contact me with the above E-mail address, while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required
in this transaction.
