Subject: VERY URGENT
From: Mr. Ivan Mzimela
#52 Market Street, Witkoppen Road Sunninghill
Johannesburg
Republic of South Africa
It is my pleasure to write you in respect of this very proposal; I am Mr.
Ivan Mzimela, the son of late Mr. Benjamin Mzimela writing to you from
Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. I decided to contact you for an
assistance to repatriate the fund I inherited from my late father Mr.
Benjamin Mzimela into your private or company’s account. I got your contact
through my discreet enquiry.
During The Land Reform Programmed in Zimbabwe the white settler farming
community set up its own Black political party, the Movement for Democratic
Change which initiated a campaign of violence, due to President Mugabe’s
government of introducing a new Land Reform Programmed which sets out to
make Zimbabweans the masters of her own economic destiny Because of the
ground holder of Africa's vast mineral resources. However, the circumstances
erupted a massive consequence by the veterans and political thugs supported
by President Mugabe’s govenernment that killed a number of white and black
farmers vehemently. Unfortunately, my late father lost his life in the siege
for his alleged opposition against the government’s new Land Reform
Programmed.
It is against this background that my family and I who are currently staying
in Johannesburg, South Africa decided to transfer this money I inherited
from my late father into a foreign account since the law of South Africa
prohibits an asylum seeker to open any Bank account or to be involved in any
financial transactions throughout the territorial zone of South Africa. As
the eldest son of my father I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking
a genuine foreign account where this fund that valued at US$18.375.000.00
(Eighteen Million Three Hundred and Seventy-Five United States Dollars) will
be transferred. My father on one of his many trips abroad took me to
Johannesburg, South Africa to deposit this fund with a Private Security
Company; this money was brought into Johannesburg, South Africa through
diplomatic means and deposited as valuables without disclosing the actual
content for safety reasons. The source of this money was for purchase of
agroindustrial allied farm equipments for the Government. I want this money
to be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on
taking everything we have got. Hence, South Africa is playing alongside with
them. I would like to invest this fund in South Africa but for the fear of
going through same trauma in future since both countries have similar
political history. Moreover, the South African foreign exchange policy
prohibits such investment as asylum seeker.
Please consider this circumstance that exist to this present day and come to
our aid to Johannesburg, South Africa for face-face meeting with my family,
to open a non- resident account, which will be used for the transfer of the
fund to any account in your country. We shall be also signing agreement for
the safety of both parties in the transaction. All modalities for the
transfer have been reached with a reputable bank official who will assist us
in all aspect using his valuables contact.
This non- resident account can only be open by a foreign businessman or
woman and the only documents needed for the opening is international
passport with a valid South African visa. For your efforts/assistance, I
have earmarked a commission of 15% of the fund. This will be left for you to
decide.
I would like to get your decision to this very proposal on my contact email
address below; you can also call me for discussion regarding this. I will be
pleased to hear from you ASAP. This however is not mandatory nor do my
wishes in any manner compel you to honor against your will.
Regards,
Mr. Ivan Mzimela
