FROM MR MAGNUS KUTERE

ATTN DIRECTOR/CEO,
PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
This letter is meant to contact you following knowledge of your esteemed
self to help us out of this difficult situation that my family has engulfed
in since the death of my father and the breadwinner of our family who was
recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe.
I am MAGINUS KUTERE from Zimbabwe, the first and only son of Dr. DONALD
KUTERE communicating to you from Johannesburg, Republic of South Africa. I,
on behalf of my family decide to solicit for your assistance to transfer the
sum of US$30 Million (Thirty Million United States Dollars) inherited from
my late father into your company or private bank account.
Before his death my father on one of his many trips abroad took to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US$30 Million (Thirty Million United
States Dollars) with a private security company as his foresaw the looming
danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited with the security company on our arrival in
Johannesburg largely for its safety. President Mugabe gave this money to my
father for investment purpose while they were still in good terms. This land
problem arose when President Mugabe who according to my late father in a
desperate bid to hold on to power for life introduced a new land act, which
wholly affected rich farmers who were mostly white and some blacks
vehemently condemned adopted by the government. And that resulted in rampant
killings looting and white scare mob actions by the veterans and scone
political thug.
Unfortunately my late father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of President
Robert Mugabe for his alleged opposition against the governments new land
act. Head of government from western world especially Britain and the United
States of America have voiced their condemnation against Mugabe action.
As it stands now, I am the only person that has access to the money and the
necessary document needed for its collection. From the above you will
understand that the lives and fortune of my family depend on this fund as
such I will be grateful if you can assist us .We are now living in South
Africa as political Asylum seekers and the financial laws and regulations of
South Africa do not permit us certain financial rights. In view of this I
cannot invest this money in South Africa hence my asking you to assist me to
transfer it out of South Africa for investment purpose in your country.
So please consider this as a request from a family in dire need of
assistance.
For your effort, we are prepared to offer you 15% of the total sum while 10%
will be set aside for expenses incurred during the course of this
transaction and remaining 75% for the family investment abroad. Please note
that this transaction is risk-free and the major thing I ask of you is to
assure me the safety of the money when transferred into your account.
Further information and arrangement will commence as soon as trust
confidence and good relation is established. I shall be most grateful if you
can maintain the confidentiality of the matter.
Thank you as I wait your urgent response via telephone or email above for
more details and dont forget to keep all information regarding to this as
highly confidential
Best regards
MAGNUS KUTERE
