From: "frank nsugbe" <franknsugbe50@hotmail.com>
Date: Thu, 24 Aug 2006 11:43:40 +0200
Subject: HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
FROM FRANK NSUGBE
TEL: +27-83-55-23-246
FAX: +27115076337
ATTENTION:DIRECTOR,
HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
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 FRANK NSUGBE, the
son of late MR. GABRIEL NSUGBE, 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, 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 TWENTY million US Dollars ($20M) 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. I and my family 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.
Therefor, if you are willing and interested to rendered 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.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
FRANK NSUGBE(FOR THE FAMILY)
