Attn: Dear Sir/Madam,
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial, as a matter of
urgency, I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement, I am MRS. NYARAI MAKONI wife of
late MR. STEVEN MAKONI, who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and
sponsored assassins of the tyrant Robert Mugabe.
I got your address from the consultancy directory during my search for a
reliable and honest person to transact this business with. I write to
solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical
government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party-president Robert
Mugabe. Because of land and farmland crisis in Zimbabwe, the government
secretly sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to
dispossess the land being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to
the killing of some members of opposition party. The MDC including my
husband (STEVEN MAKONI), who did not support this ill-fated action.
But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some dangers and so he
deposited the sum of US$25.4m (Twentyfive million four hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) in the name of our only son Gezi at a reputable
security company in South Africa with the intention of using to open
fertilizer manufacturing company among other companies in our neighbouring
country (Swaziland) after his university education.
On the 29th of July 2001, the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death.
Since then, they have been terrorizing my only son Gezi Makoni, but he
managed to escape to a neighbouring country. South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). I and my two daughters are right now in the
Republic of South Africa as Asylum refuges because of the social political
and economic crisis in my country (Zimbabwe) which doctorates everyday by
day especially AFTER THIS RECENT VISIT OF THE U.S PRESIDENT G.W BUSH TO
AFRICA AND SONDERMED THE MUGABES REGIME. Also, there is massive arrest and
five years detainsion of all the Protestants and the MDC supports as ordered
by President Robert Mugabe.
Consequently, our status/position here in South Africa does not permit us to
open an account or run any huge financial business. That is why I want this
fund to be transferred out of Africa continent (BEFORE IT IS FROOZEN BY THE
ROARING LION of the tyrant Robert Mugabes regime) into your private/company
account so that you will assist us to invest it in your country. But before
we continue in this transaction, we would have to sign an AGREEMENT for our
protection and right. Also, I wish to inform you that this transaction is
NOT A CHILDS PLAY and it is 100% REAL AND RISK FREE and been assisted by an
international business law firm based here in South Africa and we are
looking forward to employing the services of another law firms in USA to
prove its transparency and legitimacy and avoid all any interception by the
internal, international and multi-national monetary bodies.
Hence, if you agree to assist us, we will offer you 20% of the money for
your assistance, 10% will be for the possible expenses incurred in the
process of this transaction, while 70% will be for our family investment in
your country through your assistance.
I need your urgent and confidential response.
Best regards,
NYARAI MAKONI (MRS.)
Note: On your response and interest, you shall be introduced to the
international business law firm based here in Johannesburg South Africa and
