Subject: Family fund transfer assistance
From: Frank Zuma
South Africa.
ATTN:MANAGING DIRECTOR
You may be surprise to receive this letter since you do not know me
personally. I got your contact through American Chamber of commerce. I am
Mr. Frank Zuma the son of Late Dr.Raymond Zuma who was recently murdered in
the land dispute in Zimbabwe. My late father was among the few black
Zimbabwean rich farmers who were murdered in cold blood by the agents of the
ruling Government of President Robert Mugabe for allegedly supporting the
party controlled by the white minority.
Before his death he had taken to Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa the
sum of US$38.7M{Thirty eight million seven hundred thousand united states
dollars} and deposited it with a security and finance company as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money is contained in a
metallic trunk box and he registered it as family treasures and valuables
for security reasons. The fund was meant for the purchase of new
agricultural machines and chemicals for farmers in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land dispute sparked off when president Robert Mugabe introduced a new
act that wholly affected the whites and some few blacks that vehemently
condemned the modus operand adopted by the government. This resulted to
rampage and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs in which
more than fifty-one {51} people were killed including my father. May his
soul rest in perfect peace. Heads of governments from the west especially
Britain and America have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe’s plan.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine partner and account where this money will be transferred
without exposing the whole situation. I am faced with the dilemma of
investing this money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same
experience in future since both countries have almost the same political
history. Moreso, South African monetary laws does not allow refugees/asylum
seekers to engage in any business activities neither are they allowed to
open a bank account. Therefore,I am seeking for your very good assistance to
transfer this money out of south Africa into your overseas chosen account.
For your efforts and assistance I have made up my mind to offer you 20% of
the total fund, and 5% will be for any unforeseen expenses that we might
encounter in the process of the transfer, while 75% will be for my
investments in your country under your guidance.
Please should this request meet your utmost consideration, kindly contact me
via my contact above. Feel free to ask any question you consider necessary
and in return try to include your private telephone and fax numbers for
easier communication. The confidentiality of this request cannot be over
emphasized as we trust and believe that you will oblige us in the need for
security and attention it demands. Please treat this transaction with
absolute confidentiality and urgency it deserves.
Thanks for your understanding.
Yours faithfully,
Frank Zuma
