TRANSFER OF USD$30MILLION FOR INVESTMENTS
Good Day,
My name is Jonathan Smith Thabo,25 years old son of late Sir, Mayor Oliver Thabo, the renowned Zimbabwean,wine and cattle farmer.I got your contact while searching for a reliable person who will assist me to transfer huge amount of funds out of Dubai,United Arab Emirates for investments in his or her country.
During the war waged against farmers in Zimbabwe by the supporters and cohorts of President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country,my late Father's farms were among those targeted by the ZANU-P armed group.In the cause of revolution in Zimbabwe,the ZANU-PF armed group attacked and invaded my Father's farms,burned and destroyed his farm and eventually killed him.After my father's death,I managed to escape to Dubai,United Arab Emirtaes because my life was threatened and Zimbabwe was no longer safe for me.
I escaped safely into Dubai with my father's life- time fortune of [USD$30Million] Thirty Million United States Dollars in cash and other important documents of property title and other valueables as he instructed before his death.The money and the valueables were concealed and secured in one Treasure Box and was transported through Diplomatic means to Dubai,United Arab Emirates.The Box is currently safely secured in the vaults of a private Security Deposit Firm in Dubai.
Presently,I am residing temporarily in Dubai pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by my attorney , to the United Arab Emirates Ministry of Internal Affairs to grant me an assylum.I have tried severally to open up an account with one of the local banks here,but I was turned down because of my position as a refugee. I am in a dilemma of how to move this money safely out of the Security Deposit Company for investments overseas.
Moreover,due to the government's stringent monetary policies/regulations and the sensitive situation here,it would be most dangerous to attempt investment here,as such an attempt will jeopardise my chances.
In recognition of your contacts and the investment opportunities that are bound in your country , I solicit for your assistance in moving this money out of Dubai.I will also like to use this money for investment in your country.You will giude all my future investments and it will be operated in a partnership level.
You will be getting 20% of the investment capital moved to your country as the share for your assistance,the balance will be plunged into investment projects.
Upon the receipt of your indication of interest to assist me,we will open up discussions on the best ways to transfer the cash and other valueables,
and ways to invest in your country.
Waiting for your prompt reply.
Respectfully Submitted.
Faithfully yours,
Jonathan Smith Thabo.
