MRS. VIVIAN T. ZUMA,

PETORIA JOHANESSBURG,
REPUBLICE OF SOUTH AFRICA,
Dear Sir/Madam,
Difficulties encountered has necessitated my search for a partner who will
assist me.My name is Mrs.Vivian T. ZUMA,wife of late Mr.Frank ZUMA, who was
murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans and irrate blackpeople. I am writing from
the Netherlands. I got your address from the internet through the consultancy
directory during my search for a reliable and honest person to transact this
business with and i write to solicit for your special assistance to a family
shattered by a tyrannical government led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF)ruling
party-president Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe,our government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irrate party members to disposess the land
being occupied by white farmers.This action has led to the killing of some
members of opposition party including my husband(Frank ZUMA). Before the death
of my husband,he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of
US$15.4m (Fifteen million four hundered Thousand United States Dollars) in the
name of our only son John ZUMA Jr,with the help of reputable security company in
south Africa with the intention of using it to open fertilizer manufacturing
company among other companies in our neighbouring country (Swaziland)after his
university education.
On the 29th of June 2000,the war veterans and some supporters of(ZANU-PF)ruling
party trooped into our compound and axed him(my husband)to death.Since then,they
have been terrorizing my only son,John ZUMA Jr,but we managed to escape to the
Netherlands from South Africa as a political asylum seeker(refugee).But our
position in the Netherlands does not permit us to open an account or run any
huge financial business.
This is why I want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that
you will assist him to invest it in your country.Hence,if you agree to assist
us, we will offer you 20% of the 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 need your
urgent and confidential response.
Upon your immediate response,I will immediately arrange and send to you all the
informations that will empower your good self in finalizing the transaction with
the security company here in the Netherlands, I will also send to you an
agreement that will protect our interest, Kindly include more information about
yourself to enable me proceed with the necessary documents. Waiting for your
prompt and positive response.Please read about problems in Zimbabwe from the
