Dear Friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me,since you dont know me
personally,I am Lewis Mswati. The son of Dr Chiluba Mswati, Who was
recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact as i was searching for a reliable and reputable person
to handle a very confidential business which involve a transfer of fund to
a foreign account and i decided to write you. My late father was among the
few black Zimbabwean opposition party rich farmers murdered by the agents
of the ruling Government of president Robert mugabe,for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the
white minority,
Before my father death,he had taken to johannesburg and deposited the sum
of twenty five million united state dollars (US$25,000,000)with a security
and financial company,The money right now is in NETHERLAND(EUROPE), as if
he forseen the looming danger in zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a
box as valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance.
This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery and chemical
product for Agro-allied farms and for establishment of new farms in
lesotho and swaziland.This land problems arose when president Robert
mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white
farmers and some blacks vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"adopted
by the government.
This result to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and
some political Thugs,precisely more than three thousand( 3,000)people have
so far been killed.Heads of government from the west, especially Britain
and united states have voice their
condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently, south Africa have development
community(S.A.D.C)has continousy supported mugabe's new land act, it is
against this background that my entire family who are currently residing
in South Africa have
decided to ! transfer my father's wealth and south Africa's government
seems to be playing along with them.I am face with the dilemma of
investing this money in south Africa for fear of encountering the same
experience in the future, since both countries have almost the same
political history.
Moreso,the south African foreign exchange policy does not allow such
investment,Hence i am seeking for(political asylum) AS a business person
whom i entrusted my future and that of my family into his hands, i must
let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of
your business does not necessarily matter.
For your assistance we are offering you 20% of the sum ,70% for me and my
family,while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses that we may incurre
during this transaction.We wish to invest our money on commecial
properties based on your advice. Finally, i will demand for assurance that
you will not sit on the money when it gets to your personally account or
comp! any account in your country, If this proposal is accepted please
confirm your interest by sending this above to
lewismswati@netscape.net
Thanks.
Best Of Regards,
God Bless You,
Lewis Mswati.
