I have a new email address!You can now email me at: newtonndulovo@yahoo.co.uk




Dear Sir/Madam,

With warm hearts 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.

My name is NEWTON NDULOVO, the son of PASCAL ZHIRI NDULOVO,

One of the most popular farmers from Zimbabwe, who was murdered in the Land

dispute in my country.

As led by my instinct, 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 now. 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, President Robert

Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white

farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to

surrender their farms to the Government for re-distribution and infact to his

political party members and my Father though black was the treasury of the

farmers association and a strong Member of an opposition party that did not

support the president's idea.

He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade my

father's farm and burn down everything in the farm. They killed my father and

took away a lot of items from his farm.

After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father

handed us over will documents with instructions from my father.That we should

leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him.

The will documents have a certificate of deposit, Airway bill confirming cash

Deposit totalling four million five hundred thousand united state

dollars. [$4.5m] kept in custody for us in a security company that the content

is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings.

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 Botswana.

This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe,Mr President has since led to the death

of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives.

I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he

was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and

I survived two murder attempts, I fled out of Zimbabwe with the help of my

father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from Australia also a farmer who was

leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family following this ugly

development I have tried to reach

him but all to no avail.

I am currently staying in the Spain 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 in Europe (Amsterdam) I have contacted them to move the safe deposit

from their office in Johannesburg to The affiliate office here in Amsterdam (Holland)

which they are waiting further directives from me before they effect the

movement.

I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the Money. Since

the law of Spain prohibits a refugee (Asylum Seeker) to open any bank account or

to be involved in any financial Transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine

and reliable Partner, whose account this money can be transferred after the

consignment must have been duely transferred from South Africa, hence your

involvement in this venture.

You have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big And brave

one, and it entrusts my future 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

in Holland, as it has now been transferred from Johannesburg, South

Africa to their branch here in Europe. The company will be legally informed of you

representing me.

For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have

20% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the

money to be deposited here, 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 2 % of the total sum $4.5M for all kinds of expenses that

come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% for Charity donation. If

you prefer to accept the 20% for your moral and financial assistance then the

balance will be left in the account here for me.

Please note that this 2 % is not with me at the moment but shall be deducted from

the total sum as soon as the money finally hits your nominated account.

Finally I want you to maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this

transaction.

Your reply should be sent to my private Email address only ndulovonewton@netscape.net

I look forward to your reply and c-operation, and I thank you in

Advance as I anticipate your co-operation.

Sincerely,

NEWTON.H.NDULOVO
