Subject: URGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCE
MRS.SUSAN MOYO102, PRETORIA ROADSANDTON, JOHANNESBURGSOUTH AFRICAURGENT FAMILY ASSISTANCEI know this letter will come to you as a surprise since we have no previous contacts. Moreover, the present world is full of dishonest and distrust. Before I proceed, may I introduce myself, I am MRS. SUSAN MOYO, a Zimbabwean and wife of slain Zimbabwean farmer Mr.GABREL MOYO, (late). In April 2003 some veteran soldiers assassinated him following an attack in our farm house in Zimbabwe. Right now the government of Robert Mugabe has ordered us to vacate our farm lands for black occupation and even many farmers has either been killed or jailed following the expiration of president Mugabe’s evacuation mandate.As for me and my only child (KENNY MOYO JNR.) We auctioned all our properties and valuables, which includes all our farms and other farm machinery immediately after my husband’s death and realized a total sum of US$30Million. (Thirty million United sates dollars ) Since the Zimbabwe government want all white farmers out of Zimbabwe or face various types of charges in court or even risk being killed by the veteran soldiers loyal to president Mugabe. Moderate blacks who work with white farmers and opposed to Mugabe’s policies are also affected.I decided to move with my son to a neighboring country Republic of South Africa where we are presently refugees seeking for asylum. Since the South Africa monetary law forbids refugees to operate bank account or invest in any business, we made contact with a renowned South Africa Attorney and after much deliberation on our condition, he advised that we deposit the money with a security company here in South Africa which we did, although the content of the box deposited with the security company was not disclosed.The fund is now with the security company, pending when I see a trusted person who can assist us in investing it religiously anywhere overseas. meanwhile, we agree that 25% of this money will be for your assistance as a foreign partner where I can also settle down with my only child ( KENNY MOYO JNR) and start a new life. This made me to go in desperate search, which lead to my getting your contact. If you agree to assist me in this transfer, a reasonable percentage as stated above will be giving to you for your assistance/help,Do contact me through my e-mail address. Awaiting your urgent response and Looking forward to having a very good business relationship with you in the nearest future. As soon as you receive this letter, you should contact me immediately through the above stated e-mail and send mr your direct confidential telephone and fax numbers for effective communication required.This will work out as soon as you reply. Trusting to hear from you immediately.Yours faithfully,(Mrs.Susan Moyo).
