From: "sipo zuma" <sipo_5g@hotmail.com>
Date: Tue, 31 Jan 2006 05:34:54 +0000
Subject: From Mr Sipo:
INTRODUCTION
You will be surprise to receive this letter since you dont know me
personally, but do treat this request as a call from somebody in dire need
of your kind assistance, but for the purpose of introduction. I am Sipo
steves zuma, the eldest son of Dr. Sipo Mudah zuma , who was recently
murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe this
year.ln my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your contact
through the website and decided to write for an assistance. My late father
was among the few black-Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by
the KILLER-SQUARD of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe on the
12th of march,2001 for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean
Opposition party
controlled by the whites and this crisis and cold-blood-murder reports were
communicated to the
whole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED NATIONS general assembly
meetings for heads of governments, of member nations.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of
US$19.2 Million(Nineteen million two hundred Thousand United States
Dollars)with a Security and finance Company for safe-keeping as if he
foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the farm struggle in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as a consignment labelled
'FAMILY TREASURE', with the Security Company.This frame of mind was informed
as not to allow the company management have
the knowledge of the real content of the box for obvious security reasons.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals
for the farms and the establishment of new farms-settlements in Lesotho and
Swaziland.
This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
Acts which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some objective blacks
vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. This
resulted to forceful ejection of whites from their lands, rampant killings,
arson and mob actions by the war veteran and some political thugs.
Precisely, more than one hundred and seven(107)people have been killed and
many others maimed for life in the past, and up till this september, BBC and
CNN have reported of more killings in the farm-land violence.
Subsequently the Southern African Development Community(S.A.D.I.C)has
continuously supported
Mugabe's New Land Reform Acts. It is against this background that I and my
family who are currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer
this money out of South Africa into a trusted foreign account.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred
without the knowledge of Zimbabwean government who have tactically frozen my
family's wealth.Secondly,my mother is presently sick of HEART DISEASE and
the need to for a medical operation soon is important.
Presently, l am residing temporarily in Johannesburg pending the outcome of
an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney for the Department of Home
Affairs to grant me asylum status.At the moment l am in dilema on how to
move this money safely out of South Africa due to the fiscal laws inhibiting
South African Refugees on monetary policy.l request that you grant me the
consent to present you and your company as the beneficiary of the
Consignment{box of money} ,so that
l can be able to transfer the money to your nominated account outside South
Africa for investment purpose.
As a business man whom I wish to entrust my future and that of my family on
his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free as
far as you keep it secreet and modalities to effect this transfer is ready
with the help of our family lawyer,a member of a Bank-board, a South African
and my late father's friend that helped him in depositing this money in the
said security company as a consignment. Therefore if this proposal is
acceptable to you, we are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your
assistance, 75%will be for me and my family while 5%
will be used for capital transfer tax based on South African Banking
stipulations and any other expenses that might be incurred in the course of
this transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you ,forward your reply ,your fax and
phone number as soon as possible bearing in mind the confidentiality and
privacy this transaction requires at the moment .
Best Regards,
Mr Solo Zuma
