Subject: INVESTMENT INQUIRY (STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL)
Dearest,
I am Mrs. Lesley A. Ndlovu, a Zimbabwean and the wife of Chief Abraham
Ndlovu, a known farmer and the High Chief of Bulawya Town in Zimbabwe.
I write on behalf of the Ndlovu family, to enquire 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 Eleven Million Five
Hundred British Pounds Sterlings (11.5M GBPS) intended for
capitalization of the investments are presently in the custody of a
private security company in Spain, which we require to transfer
immediately 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 the white farmers in the country. The ensuing struggles and
strife have brought about the killing and imprisonment of thousands of these
white farm owners by the ruthless government forces designated to enforce
this new order.
My husband, in his good will and capacity as the High Chief of Bulawya 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 husband's firm and upright position on this matter, a group of
assailants suspected to be government sympathizers attacked and killed my
husband in cold blood in September 2001. Seeing that the entire Ndlovu
family, was in serious threat of extinction, we immediately flied Zimbabwe
to London.
Prior however, to my husband’s intimate death, he had, sensing the
rising hostilities of the government of Robert Mugabe, sold all his
farm lands including those of his white farmer associates who had
transferred ownership of their farm lands to my husband to forestall
the government acquiring them. Unfortunately, these white farmer
associates of my husband have also been assassinated in the crisis. My
husband secretly sent the proceeds (11.5M GBPS) from sales of the farm lands
to Spain, and had deposited the sum declaring it as family valuables to the
security company. The ownership of this depository is now transferred to my
son by title, following my husband's death.
Having seen your contact information from my husband’s private study, we now
contacted you for immediate assistance in lifting the funds out of Spain for
the said investments. It will interest you to note that we have this while
articulated the needful arrangement through which the transfer will be
affected. My family is willing to offer you 20% of the money based on your
assistance.
Kindly contact my son Isaac Ndlovu on his e-mail oxochlorate@inbox.comupon
receipt of this letter for execution details and other necessary discussion.
In anticipation of your trusted and genuine assistance I remain.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Lesley Ndlovu.
