Subject: URGENT RESPONSE.
FROM :MRS.MONICA KOFFI
TEL:09 27 73 775 86 72
DEAR SIR/ MADAM ,
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me
personally, I am Mrs.MONICA KOFFI, the wife of late Dr.ALFRED KOFFI, who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through South African Information exchange (S.A.I.E) here in
Johannesburg and I decided to write for an assistance.
My late husband was among the few blacks Zimbabwe rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe
for his alleged support and sympathy of the Zimbabwean opposition party
controlled by the whites. Before his death, he took me and my son MARK to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$13.5 Million Pounds)in MARK's name as
the beneficiary with a private Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw
the looming danger in Zimbabwe.The money was deposited to the security
company to avoid seizure, and to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.This money was for the purchase of new machines for the farm and
establishment of a new farm in swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduce a new land
act which wholly effects the rich white farmers and some blacks vehemently
condemned the modus operadi adopted by the government that resulted to
rampant killings and mob actin by the war veterans and some political thugs,
precisely more than sixty one (61) people have been killed. Heads of
government from Western World especially Britain and United States of
America have voice their condemnation of Mugabe's plans. Subsequently, the
South African development community (SADC) has continuously supported
Mugabe's new land reform act. It is against this background that I and my
family who are currently staying in south Africa have decided to transfer my
husband's money into a foreign account.
Please,if you are willing to help me,I and my son have agreed to give you
20% while 5% will be for any expenses incurred in the process of this
transaction. As the only wife to my late husband, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking for an account where this money could be
transferred without the knowledg of my government who had tactically
freezing our family wealth and South African Government seems to be playing
along side with them. We have decided not to invest this amount of money in
South Africa for the fear of seizure and encountering the same
experience in future since both countries have almost the same political
history.
More so the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such
investment hence we are asyllum seekers.I must let you know that this
transaction is 100% risk free. Therefore if you accept this proposal,please
contact my son MARK KOFFI who is the beneficiary with the telephone number
09 27 73 775 8672 Please do send a mail With: markkoffi@homemail.co.za ,
but you should know that this is highly confidential and shall be kept
within you alone.
Have a nice stay and GOD bless you.
Best regards,
MRS.MONICA KOFFI.
