'Urgent & Confidential'
ATTENTION: SIR/MADAM,
You may be surprised to receive this message from me since you don't
know me in person,
but for the purpose of introduction, I am Mr. Joseph Dube, the son of
late Mr.Micheal
Dube, who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
You contact was given to me at the SOUTH AFRICA EXCHANGE NETWORK ON
LINE here in
Johannesburg as reliable and trustworthy to deal with, and then I
decided to write you.
My late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered
in cold blood
by the agent of the ruling government of president ROBERT MUGABE for
his alleged
support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party. Which we
communicated to the
whole world through BBC AND CNN
Before the death of my father, he took me to SOUTH AFRICA to deposit
the sum of
US$18m (Eighteen Million United States Dollars)
with a security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger
in Zimbabwe. the
money was deposited as a gem or precious stone to avoid much demurrage
from the
security firm. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new
machinery and chemicals
for the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and
Swaziland.
This land problem arose when president R. MUGABE introduced a new land
Act. Which
wholly affects the white rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the
'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant
killing and mob
actions. My family and I who are currently staying in South Africa as a
refugee or an
asylum seeker have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country
where we can
invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of
money in South
Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future since
both countries have
the same political history.
Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such
investment hence I
am seeking for an asylum or refugee. I must let you know that this
business is 100%
risk free and the nature of your business does not necessary matter. So
if you are
willing to assist us, I and my family have agreed to give you 15% of
the total money,
40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 40% will
be for me and my family which we shall also invest in your country and
the remaining 5%
will be mapped out for all expenses we may incurred during the
transaction.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the needed
assistance, endeavor
to reply through the above Tel/fax No. I also need your private phone
and fax number
for easy communication. Remember that this is highly confidential and
the success of
this business depends on how secret it is kept, another alternative
email:
dube588@hotmail.co.uk
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
Mr. Joseph Dube (FOR THE FAMILY)
