Subject: URGENT HELP NEEDED.
Good Day,
You may be surprise to recieve this email from me since you do not know me
personally.l am Mr Steven Madunga the first son of Dr Benjamin Madunga who
was recently murdered in the land dispute in zimbabwe.i was furnished with
viable information from the world trade centre here in Amsterdam,The
Netherlands and decided to write you.
Before the death of my father,he had taken me to johanesburg to deposit the
sum of ten million five hundred thousand united states Dollars(US$10.500.00)
in a diplomatic security company that move the money diplomatically to the
Netherlands,as if he forsaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This money was
deposited in a box as diplomatic items of high value to reduce the cost of
transportation and to avoid much demurage from the security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for
farms and establishment of new famland in Zwaziland.This land became problem
when Zimbabwe President Mr Robert Mugabe,introduced a new land reform policy
that wholly affected rich farmers mainly white and some new black
farmers.This resulted to the killing and mob action by zimbabwe war veterans
and some lunatics in the society.ln fact a lot of people were killed because
of this land reform program which my father was one of the victims.
lt against this background that i am currently staying in Amsterdam as a
refugee and to seek for a trust worthy individual/firm to advice me in
making the rightful investment as well as to provide foreigh account(s)
where the funds will be lodged into since the law of the Netherlands
prohibit a refugee(asylum seeker) to open account or to be involved in any
financial transaction.
As the eldest son of my father,i am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreigh account where this money could be transferred.
l am faced with the dilema of investing this money in the Netherlands since
the since their policy does not allow such investment from asylum seekers.
As regards your commission/remuneration ,i and my immediate family have
decided to offer you 25% of the total sum immediately we clear the
consignment from the diplomatic security vault and also set 5% for all your
expencses (i.e telephone bills,travelling expenses,hotel bills and other
miscellaneous expenses)
Note: l shall commit half of my share of the total sum into a joint venture
project preferably in the purchase of real estate or other profitable
business.Be assured that you stand no risk of any kind, as soon as i get
your consent i will furnish you with the details and the contact of the
security company and a face to face meeting will be arranged in other to
know each other better.
Please contact me with the below Email address,while i implore you to
maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Steven Madunga
