Subject: URGENT RESPONSE!
Dear friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me, since you don't know me
personally; I am Muyama Nyoni the first son of Muyama Moyo who was recently
murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I am writing this letter to request your assistance and confidentiality to
handle a transfer of fund into a Foreign account and I decided to write
you,my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered
in cold blood by the agents of the ruling Government of President Robert
Mugabe, for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the white minority, Before my fathers death, he has
taken to Johannesburg and deposited the sum of Twelve Million United State
Dollars ($12 million)with a Security and Finance Company as if he foreseen
the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This money was allocated for the purchase of new Machinery and chemical
products for Agro allied farm and for the establishment of new farms in
Lesotho and Swaziland. These land problems arose when President Robert
Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white
farmers, and the blacks vehemently condemned the "mods operandi" adopted by
the government. This resulted to rampant Killings and mob action by the war
veterans and some political thugs,precisely more than three
thousands(3,000)people have so far been killed.
Heads of government from the west, especially Britain and United States have
voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's plans. Subsequently, South Africa
Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land
act, it is against this background that my entire family who are currently
residing in South Africa have decided to transfer my father's money into a
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 my government who are tactically
freezing our family's wealth and South Africa government seem to be playing
along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in
South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in the
future,since both countries have the same political history.
More so, The South Africa Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment, Hence I am seeking for political asylum in The Netherlands.As a
business person whom I entrusted my future and that of my family into his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the
nature of your business does not necessarily matter. For your
assistance,we are offering you 15% of the sum 80% for me and my family,
while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurred during
this transaction.We wish to invest our money on commercial properties based
on your advice.
Finally, I will demand for assurance that you will not sit on the money when
it gets to the account you are going to provide in your country.If this
proposal is accepted by you, please confirm by you sending me an email to
(muyama2005@netscape.net).
Thank you and God bless you.
Awaiting your urgent respond.
Best Regard ,
Muyama Nyoni.
