Subject: Urgent Response
Good Day Friend,
With warm heart I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this
letter meets you in good time. It will be
surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know
me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this
transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity
and from a family with high moral respect . My name is Paul Mubane, the
first son of Mapele Mubane, of the most popular black farmer from
Zimbabwe, murdered in the land dispute in my country. As led by my instict,
My motherand I decided to contact you through email, after searching for
contacts via the internet,as it is the only means I can contact anybody
since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for security and safety reasons.
However, I apologize if this is not acceptable to you.
The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a
business venture. Due to the land and political
problems in Zimbabwe, as a result of President Robert Mugabe's
introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmer
and the few rich black farmers, and his desire to hold on to power for
life, my father for saw the danger that came in Zimbabwe. Before he was
murdered, he withdrew all of our business foreign accounts in dollars and
sold up our sharesin major
companies. We then went to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit the sum of
US$20.million (twenty million, US dollars),in a private security company.
This money was deposited with this Private Security company for safety and
security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase of land, new
machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Europe.
President Mugabe's support for the violent Zimbabwean war veterans and
some lunatics in the society, led to the murder of my beloved father and
other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my
inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resited for awhile, but
when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I
fled Zimbabwe. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am
seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum,
is
because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, and
they have moved the deposit from their office in Johannesburg down here. I
need you to assist in receiving this consignment from the security company.
Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to be
involved in such transactions and my mother advised that it will be better
for our foreign partner to help receive this fund to avoid any eye brown
being raised by Robert Mugabe, this is why I am seeking a genuine and
reliable partner,who will assist in receiving the funds and also
investing it wisely in a profitable venture.You have to
understand that this decision taken by me entrusts my future and in your
hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to
assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to
claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The
Netherlands, as it has now been transfered from Johannesburg,South Africa
to their branch in The
Netherlands. The company will be legally informed of you representing my
family. For your assistance, I have two options for you.
Firstly you can choose to have 10% of the money for your assistance, and
helping my family investing this funds, or you can go into
partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in
your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your
reply. I have also set aside 1% of this money for all kinds of expenses
that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% of the total
sum for Charity donation.If you prefer to accept the 10% for assisting in
representing my family to receive this funds, then 85% will be left for my
family.
Please, I want you to maintain the absolute secrecy for the purpose of this
transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you
in advance as I anticipate your co-operation.You can reach me on my
private line or via email

Sincerely,
Paul Mubane.
