Dear:Sir,
I know this letter may be a surprise to you as we have not known before, My
name is Vuyo Sithole, The first son of Mr. Alferd Zuma Sithole, of Zimbabwe
who was murdered with order whites in the land disputes violence in
Zimbabwe.
My late father was among the few blacks-Zimbabwe rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the KILLER SQUERDS of the ruling government of President
Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean
opposition party controlled by the whites and this crisis and the cold
blooded murder reports, where communicated to the whole world through
BBC,CNN. This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe introducing
new land Acts that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some objective
blacks.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to deposit the sum of US$10.5
MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS(TEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS) With
a private security and finance company based here in Johannesburg, South
Africa for safekeeping as if he foresaw the looming danger that could erupt
from the farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a metal
sealed box as a consignment labeled 'FAMILY TRESURE; with the security
company.
My mother and I have meet and agreed after consulting financial expert who
humbly advice us that the best way for realizing and safe guarding this fund
with out South Africa authority being after the money or the knowledge of
Zimbabweans government who has tactically frozen my family's wealth. Hence
the need i consult you as a foreigner to assist us in transferring these
fund out from south africa for safekeeping and investment purpose in your
country.
My reason of contacting you is based on the above stated fact and I am sadly
with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this
money could be transferred upon redeemed from the security company custody.
I want to effect the transfer of the fund in a beautiful country where
people will not know us and for good investment .please if you are
interested in helping us secure this money morally and financially, my
family will give to you 15% of the total sum, do contact me using this
telephone number(0027-83-2440-101) for the guidelines, but among all keep
every thing about this transaction to your self only, please include your
private telephone and fax number for our easy communication.
Thanks and God Bless you and your family as you co-operate in assisting us.
Yours Sincerely,
Vuyo Sithole,
