Subject: your help needed
Dear Sir,
You may please be surprised to receive this letter from me, since you don’t know me personally; will try to describe myself shortly myself and the matter of this letter:
I am Mr. Deon Dpreez, the only Son of Dr. Osan Dpreez. My Dad is been murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. The simple and only reason to please contact you is that I am searching a trustworthy person to whom I wish to rely a “very confidential Transaction” which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account.
My late father was among the few Black Zimbabwean & Rich farmers murdered in Cold Blood by the agents of the ruling government (PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE) for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition party controlled by the White minority. Before his death, he deposited the sum of EIGHTEEN (18) MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS into a Holand SECURITY COMPANY after suspecting the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a Din Box as valuables to avoid much demurrage from the security company. This money was embarked from the purchase of New Machinery and Chemical for farms and establishment of new farms in LESOTHO and SWAZILAND.
The land problem arose when President Robert MUGABE introduced a new land act that wholly affected the Rich white farmers and some few black vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs, precisely; more than fifty-one (51) people have been killed so far. Heads of governments from the West, especially Britain and United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe’s plan, subsequently, Holand development community (H.D.C.) has continuously supported Mugabe’s new land act, it is against this background that I and my family who are currently residing in (HOLAND, EUROPEAN) have decided to transfer my Father’s money into a foreign account.
As the only Son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account, where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government, which is tactically freezing our family health. And Holand’s government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this money in Holand for fear of encountering the same experience in future . More so, the Holand foreign exchange Policy does not allow such investment hence we are seeking for a “Refugee Asylum”.
Meanwhile, as a businessperson whom I would entrust my future and that of my family into his hands, I must carefully let you know that this transaction is “100% risk free” and that the nature of your business does not necessarily matter. For your assistance, we are offering you 15% of the total sum, 80% for I & my family, while 5% will be mapped out for any expenses may occur during the course of this transaction. We wish to invest our part of the money on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally, all I would like to demand from you is assurance & guarantee that you will not sit on this FUND once it finally gets to your personal or company’s account in your country. If this proposal suits you, please confirm your interest by replying to this email direct and please try and include your full contact details for an easier communication.
Looking towards hearing from you soon.
Sincerely yours
Deon Dpreez
