Hello,
With due respect, trust and humility, I write to you this proposal,which I
believe would be of great interest to you. I find your contact while I was
doing a private research on the Internet for a reliable and capable foreign
partner that will assist my family and I to transfer fund to his personal or
private account and for investment purpose.
I am Mr. victor kumalo the son of Late Mr. Ernest kumo, who was the
"Chairman" of the farmer’s co-operation in Zimbabwe.During the current
`Crisis against the farmers of the Zimbabwe by supporters of our president
Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered
all the white farmers to surrender their farms to
his party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did
not support the president’s political ideology, the president supporters
invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated
all his investments.
Before the death of my father, he deposited the sum of US$13.5 Million
United States Dollars with a Security & Finance as he knew the looming
danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited as gem of precious stones to
avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.
This money was meant for buying of new machineries and chemical for farms
and stablishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.my family and I moved
to South Africa where we are currently residing as asylum seekers. Of late,
when we decided to invest this money here in South Africa, we discovered
that the laws of this country prohibit asylum
seekers the right to investment or to operate any form of bank account.
Hence I contacted you to assist us in transferring this money out of South
Africa to your overseas account for our investment.
I must let you know that this deal is 100% risk-free. The nature of your
business does not necessarily matter in this transaction. So,
if you are willing and interested to assist us, my family and I have agreed
to give you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 75% will be for my
family
investment in your country and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all
expenses we may incur during the course of the transaction.
Note that you would also assist us in investing our own share of the money
in your
country.If you are interested to assist us in this deal, we need your urgent
reply through the above Telephone .
Do not forget to include your contact telephone and fax numbers for easier
communication.
Please, treat this deal with absolute confidentiality.
Best Regards,
victor.
