REQUEST FOR URGENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam,
Good day. This very confidential request should not come as a surprise to
you. But it is because of the nature of what is happening to me and my
family urged me to contact you. I had already sent to you this same letter
two weeks ago, but I am not sure if it did get to you since I have not heard
from you since then.
Hence my resenting it to you again through mail, which I understand is not
the best way to contact you because of the nature of my request and the
urgent attention it requires.
My name is MR.JOHN MOYO, the second son of MR. WILLIAMS MOYO, of Beitbridge,
Zimbabwe. At the height of the present political crises in our country, in
which the white farmers in our country are being slained and ripped off
their belongings by the supporters of our president, Mr. Robert G. Mugabe,
in their efforts to reclaim all the white owned farms in our country.
My father and my elder brother were brutally slained to a painful death in
their struggle to protect some white farmers who ran to take refuge in our
farm. My father, during his life on earth was a prominent indigenous farmer
and also trades on Diamond and Gold from some countries in Africa. He
publicly opposes the crude policies and crime against humanity on the white
farmers by Mr. Robert Mugabe and his followers.
As a result of which the president followers invaded my fathers farm, burnt
down everything and brutally slained him and my elder brother due to their
role in trying to protect these white farmers on the 13th day of February,
2002. And using media law restriction to protect their wicked acts.
That not being enough, the president and his followers after winning the
last Undemocratic Elections decided to confiscate assets of our black
indigenes who are opposing his policies and who support the white farmers,
along with the assets of these white farmers themselves, which are being
presently confiscated.
I therefore decided to move my mother and younger sister to the Republic of
South Africa for safety of our lives, where we presently seeked for
political asylum, temporarily.
During my father’s life on earth, he had WILLED the sum of TWENTY FIVE
MILLION United States dollars (US$25,000.000.00) to be shared between me and
my elder brother before he met his untimely death on that faithful day. This
he had deposited with a finance and security company in the Republic of
South Africa from where he operates most of his Gold and Diamond trades to
our country.
In view of this and as the only surviving son of my father, and with the
present clamp down, killing and confiscation of assets of supporters of the
white farmers presently in our country, I therefore humbly wish to notify
you of my intention to use your name and address as my Trustee in lifting
this money out of Africa finally, to the Europe office of the finance
company and also seek for your honest and trustworthy assistance to help me
clear and accommodate this fund when it gets over there, before it is
dictated out and confiscated by the president Mugabe’s regime.
My mother and myself have agreed to make the provisions; 1.That 30% of the
total money will be given to you for your assistance in clearing and
accommodating this fund.
2.That 5% of the total money will be set aside for taxation and any other
expenses that might be incurred in the course of this transaction, while the
remaining 65% will be for me and my family for our future investment
purposes which will depend on your assistance.
Please I hope you will grant and view this very request with favour and much
understanding of our situation now, and will be a very honest and reliable
person to deal with. And also bearing in mind the confidential nature of my
request to yourself to protect my family and yourself rendering the help.
Thanking you in anticipation of your urgent response as soon as you read
this very request.
Best regards,
MR. JOHN MOYO AND FAMILY.
