Greetings ,
With trust and humility. I present this letter to you, my name is SYDNEY ZUMA the first son of the late king FRANCIS ZUMA, A TRADITIONAL RULER, and a great farmer in Zimbabwe. It might be shock to you to receive this letter from me, and most especially how I got your contact address, However your address was courtesy of business journal at the world trade center in Johannesburg, and after due consideration of your profile, I became aware and assured of your credibility of handling this fund and my future.
During the current crisis against the farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters of the president ROBERT MUGABE, to claim the all white owned farms in the country, he ordered all white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his supporters.
My father was one of the black farmers that worked along side with the white farmers and opposed the president action towards the white farmers. My fathers being well know for his relationship with the white farmers, the president supporters invaded my father farm and destroy everything, my father was at the same time killed on the process of fighting back the invaders. After the incident my mother and my younger sister decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of their lives.
I was studying overseas when my father died, I was forced to return home for the funeral. One month after the funeral, my father's attorney notified me and my mother about my fathers will with his chambers. When I was going through the will, I discovered that my late father had used his position as the treasurer of the farmer’s co-operative society of Zimbabwe to make some money, which he brilliant transferred and deposited with a reputable Security Company in South Africa. The amount involved is $19.8 MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS(Nineteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollar). my mother and I have agreed and decided to transfer the money in question to the reliable and humanist person/ company for investment, as we do not have intention of going back to Zimbabwe, secondly we don’t have knowledge of international investment.
Why I have solicited for your assistance is because of the nature by which we entered in to South Africa, we don’t have the right to operate or maintain a foreign domination account as refugees, we have in mind to compensate you with 20% of the total money and 10% for expenses in the cost of the transaction, then 70% will be for me and my family for investment in your country which you will be the supervisor.
NOTE: The key word to this transaction is absolute confidentiality and trust, the transaction is 100% risk free for, for your understanding and co-operation you can get back to me immediately with the above numbers for more details.
Thanks and God bless.
Yours Faithfully,
SYDNEY ZUMA
(For the family)
