Subject: From Grace to Janice: THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE IN GOOD FAITH
FROM: MRS GRACE NDLOVU
15 CWART CRESCENT,
NORTHWOLD, JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Dear Janice,
You may be surprised to receive this mail from me since you don't know me in
person. But for the purpose of introduction, I am Mrs.Grace Ndlovu, the wife
of the late Mr.Richard Ndlovu who was murdered in a land dispute in Zimbabwe
last year by president Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe loyallists in South African
Region.
I got your contact information from the foreign contact data base in the
information centre here in Johannesburg, when I was searching for a reliable
individual or private company that can assist me to transfer this fund on
behalf of my late husband, one son and two daughters. Well as a reliable and
trustworthy individual to deal with, I decided to write you. My husband was
among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the
agent of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe for his alleged
support and sympathy for Zimbabwean opposition party that is against
Mugabe’s maltreatment of white farmers through his land reform act.
Before the death of my husband, he took my only son and me to South Africa
to deposit the sum of US$25 Million(TEWNTY FIVE Million UNITED STATE
DOLLAR’S) with a security and deposit company, as if he knew the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was concealed and deposited as family treasure and precious stone
to Avoid the security company from knowing that the real content of the box
is Money. The money was earmarked for the purchase of machinery and
chemicals for my husband business. Problem arose when president Robert
Mugabe introduced a new land act, which did not favour the white rich
farmers and some black rich farmers including my late husband. This resulted
to rampart killing of farmers by Robert Mugabe's loyalists of which my
husband was one of the victims.
I and my son Jude are currently staying in South Africa as Asylum seekers,
planning to transfer this money to a foreign country where we can invest it,
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South
Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in future because of
constant economic instability in Africa and more South African law does not
give asylum seekers investment opportunity. This was why we decided to
contact you.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the
nature of your business does not necessary matter. So if you are willing to
assist us to transfer this money out of South Africa to your bank account
where ever for investment, we have agreed to give you 20% of the total sum
for your assistance, 5% for any expenses that might occur from both sides in
the course of this transaction, while the
remaining 75% will be for my son investment, which you will assist him
to do abroad.
Therefore, if you are willing and interested to render the
needed assistance, please get in touch with me by my email to enable us
discuss further. Please, include the following information in your reply:
YOUR PRIVATE TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, YOUR RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS,AGE,
OCCUPATION, NAME OF YOUR COMPANY(IF YOU HAVE A PRIVATE COMPANY). The phone
number should include country and area codes for easy communication. These
information will be used to obtain documents from relevant departments here
to make you our foreign partner and new beneficiary of the fund.
Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this
business depend on how secret it is kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards.
Mrs.Grace Ndlovu
