Subject: URGENT ASSISTANCE
ATTENTION:Sir,
COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON"
I am Mrs.Nancy Zulu, a Zimbabwean and the wife of Late Chief Temba Zulu, a
farmer and former High Chief of Bulawayo Town in Zimbabwe. I write on behalf
of my family to inquire if you are available and have the facility to assist
my family undertake some capital investment in your country. It will be
necessary to inform you that the funds (US$22M) TWENTY TWO MILLION, UNITED
STATES DOLLARS: intended for capitalization of the investments are presently
in the custody of a private Security Company here in Johannesburg South
Africa, which will require to transfer out of South Africa for the said
investment purposes.
You may have heard of the present crisis in Zimbabwe orchestrated by the
unprecedented “LAND USE ACT” of the government of Robert Mugabe in which his
government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by
white farmers in the country. This has caused serious historical
displacement of the white folks who are known to be the country’s main
farmers. The ensuing struggles and strife have brought about the killing and
imprisonment of thousands of these white farm owners by the ruthless
government force designated to enforce this new order.
My husband, in his good will and capacity as a High Chief of Bulawayo Town,
joined the international community in condemning and speaking out against
this uncivilized and bizarre policy of Robert Mugabe’s government. As a
result of my father’s firm and upright position on this matter, a group of
assailants suspected to be government sympathizers attacked and killed my
father in cold blood in March last year. Seeing that the entire Zulu"s
family was in serious threat of extinction, we immediately fled Zimbabwe to
South Africa, where we have sojourned ever since. Prior however, to my
husband’s untimely death, he had, sensing the rising hostilities of the
government of Robert Mugabe, sold all his farm lands including those of five
of his white farmer associates who had transferred ownership of their farm
lands to my husband to forestall the government acquiring them.
Unfortnately, these white farmers associates of my husband have also been
assassinated in the crisis.
By foresight my husband had secretly sent the proceeds (US$22M), from sales
of the farm lands to South Africa, a neighboring sister country and had
deposited the same in a metal box with a private Security Company in
Johannesburg. For obvious security reasons, contents of this metal box were
declared as “family valuables” to the Security Company. The ownership of
this “depository” is now transferred to me by title, following my husband’s
death.
Having gotten your contact from the South African international directory
while searching for reliable assistance, I therefore, on behalf of my
family, now contact you for immediate assistance in lifting the fund out of
South Africa for safekeeping overseas and investment purposes. We will be
willing to come to terms with you regarding your rewards for helping us
actualize this matter. We have unanimously agreed to offer you 20% of the
total money, then 75% will be for me and my family 5% will be set aside as
reimbursements for expenses made by both parties during the course of the
transaction.
It is equally important to state here that considering the nature of this
matter, we will require that it is handled most discretely and with utmost
confidentiality. Kindly contact me using the email address , if you are
willingness to assist I shall give you further details and other necessary
investment discussion.
In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance,I expect your reply.
thank you,
