ATTN DIRECTOR/CEO,
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
This letter is meant to contact you following knowledge of your esteemed self to help us out of this difficult situation that my family has engulfed in since the death of my father and the breadwinner of our family who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I am MAGINUS KUTERE from Zimbabwe, the first and only son of Dr. DONALD KUTERE communicating to you from Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. I, on behalf of my family decide to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$30 Million (Thirty Million United States Dollars) inherited from my late father into your company or private bank account.
Before his death my father on one of his many trips abroad took to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$30 Million (Thirty Million United States Dollars) with a private security company as his foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited with the security company on our arrival in Johannesburg largely for its safety. President Mugabe gave this money to my father for investment purpose while they were still in good terms. This land problem arose when President Mugabe who according to my late father in a desperate bid to hold on to power for life introduced a new land act, which wholly affected rich farmers who were mostly white and some blacks vehemently condemned adopted by the government. And that resulted in rampant killings looting and white scare mob actions by the veterans and scone political thug.
Unfortunately my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged opposition against the governments new land act. Head of government from western world especially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe action.
As it stands now, I am the only person that has access to the money and the necessary document needed for its collection. From the above you will understand that the lives and fortune of my family depend on this fund as such I will be grateful if you can assist us .We are now living in South Africa as political Asylum seekers and the financial laws and regulations of South Africa do not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this I cannot invest this money in South Africa hence my asking you to assist me to transfer it out of South Africa for investment purpose in your country.
So please consider this as a request from a family in dire need of assistance.
For your effort, we are prepared to offer you 15% of the total sum while 10% will be set aside for expenses incurred during the course of this transaction and remaining 75% for the family investment abroad. Please note that this transaction is risk-free and the major thing I ask of you is to assure me the safety of the money when transferred into your account. Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust confidence and good relation is established. I shall be most grateful if you can maintain the confidentiality of the matter.
Thank you as I wait your urgent response via telephone or emailabove for more details and dont forget to keep all information regarding to this as highly confidential
Best regards
MAGINUS KUTERE
