Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Mrs Grace Buhera,the wife of late Stephen Buhera who was murdered by
the Zimbabwean veterans and irrate black people who are cohorts of Robert
Mugabe. Before the death of my Husband on the 1st of Oct 2004, he was a
Properous Tobacco and Coffee farmer in Zimbabwe and one of the major
sponsor/Financier of the opposition party-Movement For Democratic
Change(MDC)in Zimbabwe.He was also an active member of Farmers Co-operative
Trade Union in Zimbabwe.
I am writing you from Durban,South Africa where am taking assylum with my
Son and Daughter. I got your contact email address through the South African
International Information Exchange Centre and decided to write you.I write
to solicit for your humane assistance to a family
shattered by a tyrannical government led by the dictator President ROBERT
MUGABE and his(ZANU- PF) ruling party. I am probably of the convinction that
you are aware of the present situation in my country Zimbabwe sequel to the
land and farm land crisis where thousands of people have had
their homes and livelihood destroyed by the government who secretly sponsor
the war veterans and some irrate party members to dispose the land being
occupied by whites and some rich black farmers who are opposed to his
consistent stay in power and his radical and unnecessary reforms targeted at
his political opponents.
This action has led to the killing of some members of the opposition party
including my beloved Husband who did not support this ill-fated action. But
before the death of my Husband and the consistent threats to his life, he
anticipated some dangers and through the help of his Diplomat friend becuase
of their immunity took out the sum of US$15.5m(Fifteen Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars)which was in the farm vault to South Africa
and deposited it in a security/finance company.This money, he has been
saving for decades with the intention of using
it for the purchase of New farm machinery and chemicals to develope some of
his hectares of land in swaziland. But he couldnt realize that dream again.
On the 1st Oct, 2004, the war veterans and some supportersof (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and murdered him(my Husband)to
death.May his soul rest in peace.Since then, they have been terrorizing me
and my Children but we succeeded to work for our escape to a
neighbouring country, South Africa as political asylum seekers(Refugee). But
our position in South Africa does not permit us to be able to utilize this
fund for any meaningful business transaction because we are Refugees here.So
we are handicapped here and can not go back to Zimbabwe now because of the
intensity of the crises there as they will eventually kill us as well if
they found us.
That is why I want you to assist us and get this fund out for us from South
Africa after sending to you the relevant documents and agreement that will
authorize you to act on my behalf.Then you transfer to your account in your
country so that you will assist us in investment purposes or acquiring
landed properties and even send to us part of the money here for our
upkeep.As soon as it is transferred into your account,my Son will try and
get back to zimbabwe where
he can be able to obtain a visa to come over to meet you in your country on
your invitation.
Hence,if you agree to assist us, we have two options for you, we have agreed
to go into partnership with you and your family or in the alternatve, we
offer you 20% of the total money for your assistance, 5% will be for the
possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction,while 75% will
be for our family investment in your country through your assistance.
I want you to understand that this fund is purely a family money and not
money laundering, nor could it be classified as government fund and it could
be substanciated to relevant authorities by our Attorney as all the
documents for the deposits are intact.It is Family fund but confidential for
I do not want myself to be traced to where i'm presently.
If you are willing to assist us, kindly contact me through email. Right now,
I am presently in south Africa with my children sequel to the tensed
political situation and the fear for our lives in
Zimbabwe.
I need your urgent and confidential response.
Thanks and God bless you.
Best regards,
Mrs.Grace Buhera
