Dear Sta
This Letter Was First Sent To You Via Post Mail Two Months Ago, But Uptill
Now, I Have Not Heard From You. Based On This, I Decided To Reach You
Through This Means. Though,I Know For Security Reasons, This Is Not The
Safest Means To Reach You, But Was Left With No Other Viable Option Since
There Is The Pressing Need To Reach You. I Am Quite Sure That This Mail Will
Surprise You Since I Have Not Been Having Previous Correspondences With You.
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don’t know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR Frank Ndlovu. The
Son of the late Jonathan Ndlovu, who was murdered in a land disputein
Zimbabwe.
The SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ONLINE here gave your contact to me in
Johannesburg as a reliable and trustworthy to deal with, then I decided to
contact you. My Father was among the few rich Black Zimbabwean farmers who
were murdered by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT
MUGABE for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party.
Before the death of my Father, he took me to South Africa to deposit a sum
of US$25 Million (TWENTYFIVE Million United States Dollars) with a security
and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money
was deposited as Gem/Precious Stones to avoid much demurrage from the
security firm. This money was ear marked for the purchase of machinery and
chemicals for the farms and also for the establishment of new farms in
Swaziland and Lesotho.
The land problem arose when president Mugabe introduced the new land Act
that wholly affects the rich white farmers and some few black vehemently
condemned the ‘MODUS OPERANDI’ adopted by the Government. This resulted in
rampant killing and mobactions.
My family and I are currently staying here in South Africa as refugees or
asylum seekers and have
decided to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it.
I am faced with a dilemma of investing this money here in South Africa with
the fear of encountering the same problems in the future because Zimbabwe
and South Africa share the same political history. Moreover, the South
African monetary policies do not allow asylum seekers to do any investment.
I want to let you know that this business is 100% risk free. So if you are
willing to assist us, my family and I have agreed to offer you 20% of the
total money. 75% will be for us, while the remaining 5% will be mapped out
for all expenses we may incur during this transaction.
Therefore, if you are interested and willing to offer the needed assistance
endeavor to reply through my email. I also need your private Tel/Fax numbers
for easy communication. Remember to keep this business confidential.
Thanks.
Yours truly,
Email:frankndlovu_14@yahoo.co.uk
MR Frank Ndlovu.
