This letter is meant to contact you believing that you will help us out of this difficult situation that my
family has been engulfed in since the dealth of my father who is the bread winner of our family. He was
murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. So please, consider this as a request from a family in need of
assistance. I am MR. KELVIN MUGABE from Zimbabwe, the first and the only son of late MR ROBERT MUGABE,
communicating to you from Johanessburg, Republic of South Africa. On behalf of my family, we decided to
solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of $16.5 Million (Sixtheen, Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) inherited from my father into your company or private bank account.
Before the death of my father, on one of his trips abroad he took me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum $16.5
Million with a private security company as if he forsaw looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited
with security company on our arrival in Johannesburg largely for it's safety. President Mugabe gave this money to my father for investment purposes while they were still in good terms.
This land problem arose when president Mugabe who according to my late father in desperate bid to hold on to
power by introduced a new land act ,which whilly affected the farmers who were mostly white and some blacks
condemned the method adopted by the government and that resulted in the rampant killings, looting and wide
mob actions by the veterans and some political parties.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwe farmers murdered in cold blood by the agent of the ruling
government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged opposition against the government new Land ! Act.
Heads of government from the western world especially Britain and the the United States of America have
their
condemnation against Mugabe actions, as it stands now. I am the only person that have access to the money
and the necessary documents needed for it's collection from the security company.
You will understand that the lives and future of my family depends on this fund as such I will be grateful
if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as political assylum seekers and the laws and
regulations of South Africa do not permit us certain financial rights.
In view of this we are asking for your assistance to assist me to transfer this fund out of South Africa
for investment purposes in your country.
For your efforts, we are prepared to offer you 20% of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for any
expenes both parties incurred during the process of this transaction and the remaining 70% will be for my
family investment in your country.
Please, note that this transaction is risk free and the major thing I ask of you is to assure me of the
safety of the money when transferred into your account. Further information and arrangements will commenced
as soon as a good relationship is established.
Thank you as I await your urgent response. Please, dont forget to keep every information regarding this
transaction highly confidential for obvious security reason.
Regards
MR.KELVIN. M.MUGABE (for the family).
