Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
FROM; MR BONGANI DUDU.
JOHANNESBURG CITY,
SOUTH AFRICA
URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL.
ATTN:
YOU MAY BE SUPRISE TO RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE FROM ME SINCE YOU DONT KNOW ME IN
PERSON, BUT FOR THE PURPOSE OF INTRODUCTION, I AM MR BONGANI DUDU THE SON OF
LATE MR TAWASA DUDU WHO WAS MURDERED IN A LAND DISPUTE IN ZIMBABWE. YOUR
CONTACT WAS GIVING TO ME AT THE SOUTH AFRICAN EXCHANGE NETWORK ON LINE HERE
IN JOHANNESBURG AS RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY TO DEAL WITH, AND THEN I DECIDED
TO WRITE YOU.MY FATHER WAS AMONG THE FEW RICH FARMERS MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD
BY THE AGENT OF THE RULING GOVERNMENT OF PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE FOR HIS
ALLEGED SUPPORT AND SYMPATHY FOR ZIMBABWEAN OPPOSITION PARTY.
BEFORE THE DEATH OF MY FATHER, HE TOOK ME TO SOUTH AFRICA TO DEPOSIT THE SUM
OF (SEVENTHEEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) ($17.5M)
WITH A SECURITY AND FINANCE COMPANY, AS IF HE KNEW THE LOOMING DANGER IN
ZIMBABWE.THE MONEY WAS DEPOSITED AS A GEM AND PRECIOUS STONE TO AVOID MUCH
DUMMORAGE FROM THE CHEMICALS FOR THE FARMS AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW
FARMS IN LESOTHO AND SWAZILAND.
THIS LAND PROBLEM AROSE WHEN PRESIDENT ROBERT. MUGABE INTRODUCED A NEW LAND
ACT. WHICH WHOLLY AFFECT THE WHITE RICH FARMERS AND SOME FEW BLACKS
VEHEMENTLY CONDEMNED THE MODUS OPERANDI ADOPTED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THIS
RESULTED TO RAMPANT KILLING AND MOB ACTION.I AND MY FAMILY WHO ARE CURRENTLY
STAYING IN SOUTH AFRICA AS A REFUGEE OR AN ASSYLUM SEEKER HAVE DECIDED TO
TRANSFER THIS MONEY TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY WHERE WE CAN INVEST IT. I AM FACED
WITH THE DILEMMA OF INVESTING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY IN SOUTH AFRICA FOR FEAR
OF ENCOUNTERING THE SAME EXPERIENCE IN FUTURE SINCE BOTH COUNTRIES HAVE THE
SAME POLITICAL HISTORY. MOREOVER, THE SOUTH AFRICA MONETARY POLICY/LAW DOES
NOT ALLOW SUCH INVESTMENT HENCE I AM SEEKING FOR AN ASSYLUM OR REFUGEE.
I MUST LET YOU KNOW THAT THIS BUSINESS IS 100% RISK FREE AND THE NATURE OF
YOUR BUSINESS DOES NOT NECCESSARY MATTER. SO, IF YOU ARE WILLING TO ASSIST
US, I AND MY FAMILY HAVE AGREED TO GIVE YOU 20% OF THE TOTAL MONEY, 40% WILL
BE FOR A JOINT BUSINESS VENTURE I WILL BE DOING WITH YOU AND ANOTHER 30%WILL
BE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY WHICH WE SHALL ALSO INVEST IN YOUR COUNTRY AND THE
REMAINING 10% WILL BE MAPPED OUT FOR ALL EXPENSES WE MAY INCURE DURING THE
TRANSACTION.
THEREFORE, IF YOU ARE WILLING AND INTERESTED TO RENDER THE NEEDED ASSISTANCE
ENDEAVOR TO REPLY THROUGH THE ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBERS. I ALSO NEED YOUR
PRIVATE PHONE AND FAX NUMBERS FOR EASY COMMUNICATION. REMEMBER THAT THIS IS
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND THE SUCCESS OF THIS BUSINESS DEPENDS ON HOW SECRET
IT IS KEPT. EXPECTING YOUR REPLY URGENTLY THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR
FAMILY.
BEST REGARDS.
BONGANI DUDU.
FOR THE FAMILY
