foreign investments.
Good Day,
I am Richard Martins, a Zimbabwean citizen and son of Chief Edward Martins, a known farmer and the High chief of Bulawayo Town in Zimbabwe. I write on behalf of the Martins family, to inquire if you are available and have the facility to assist my family undertake some capital investments in your country, by transferring the sum of (US$ 15 Million) Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars only into your account intended for capitalization of business in your country.
Having seen your information in my private study for a reliable person who will assist us, we wish to contact you for immediate assistance to move the said amount out of South Africa for business investment in your country.
You may have heard of the present land reform policy in Zimbabwe orchestrated by the unprecedented “Land Use Act” of the government of President Robert Mugabe in which his government has arbitrarily reclaimed and acquired all farm lands owned by the white (Foreign) farmers in the country. This land act has caused historical displacement of the white folks who are known to be the country’s main farmers. The ensuing struggles and strife have brought about the killing and imprisonment of the thousands of these white farm owners by the ruthless government forcers designated to enforce the new order.
My father, in his good “WILL” and capacity as the high chief of Bulawayo town, joined the International Community in condemning and speaking out against this uncivilized and bizarre policy of President Robert Mugabe’s government. As a result of my father’s firm and upright position on this matter, a group of assailant’s suspected to be government loyalties attacked and killed my father in cold blood in November last year. Seeing that the entire “Martins’s” family was in serious threat of extinction, we immediately fled Zimbabwe to South Africa, where we have sojourned ever then for asylum.
However, to my father’s untimely death, the government of Robert Mugabe sold all his farmlands including those of five of his farmer associates who had transferred ownership of their farmlands to my father to forestall the government from acquiring them. Unfortunately, these white farmers associates of my father were also assassinated differently during the crisis and mob actions. My father earlier before the intense killing, secretly moved proceeds of (US$ 15 Million) from sales of the farmlands including those of his five associates to South Africa, a neighbouring sister country and had the same deposited in a metal box with a private security company here in Johannesburg.
For obvious reasons, contents of the metal box was declared as “Family Treasures” to the security company to avoid jeopardy and to keep eyes out of it. Now the ownership of the depository has been changed to me by title, following my fathers death and my mother and I have decided to use this medium to solicit your assistance to move the fund out of South Africa for business in your country, following also to your acceptance to help us.
My mother and I have in consensus agreed to offer you 20% of the whole fund for your assistance, which is ($ 15 Million) Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars and would stand to have joint business with you if it pleases you. It is equally important to state herein that considering the nature of this matter, we will require that you handle it with utmost secrecy to avoid prejudice even if you are not interested. If this proposals interest you and you wish to help us, kindly contact me using the above particulars upon receipt of this letter for execution details and other necessary discussion. It would also interest us if you include your personal details and your private telephone and fax numbers for easy communication between us. You can call me on the above telephone number upon receiving this mail.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours sincerely,
Richard Martins
(On behalf of Martins family)
