Director/Ceo ,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not
know me personally. I am Mr Dennis Gezi.the first son of MR Milton
Gezi, who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your
contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the
death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum
of US$25Million (Twenty five Million United States Dollars), in one of
the private security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe.This money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much
demurrage from the Security Company.This amount was meant for the
purchase of new machines and chemicals for the farms and establishment
of a new farm in Swaziland. This land problem came when Zimbabwean
President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act reform which
wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few black farmers. This
resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and
some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were killed
because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the
victims. It is against this background that, I and my family who are
currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my father's money
to a foreign country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees
open any bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction
througout the teritorial zones of South Africa. 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 into without the
knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything . All I
seek for is an honest businessman, whom I can entrust my future and
that of my family , I must also let you know that this transaction is
100%risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family all I want from
you is for you to make arrangements and come to Johannesburg - South
Africa, so that you can help me open a non-resident account in your
name which will aid us in transferring the money into any account you
will nominate overseas. This money I intend to use for investmentand
growth in your country. I have two options for you, firstly you can
choose to have a certain percentage of the money for nominating your
account for this transaction, Or you can go into partnership with me
for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also
mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses we might incure
in the process of this transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership
I am willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining 70% will
remain for me and my family. If you are realy capable and willing to
assist me please contact me immediately with the above e-mail address
with which I have sent you this message. Finally, please treat this
matter as urgent as possible, i'm in dire need to leave this country
soonest.
Thanks for your mutual co-operation, I expect your soonest response.
Kind Regards,
Mr.Dennis Gezi.
(For the Family)
