CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Dear Kosasih,
I can understand how surprise this letter will mean to you, but would advice
that you consider it as a request from a family in dare need of assistance.
I am Mr. Dennis Khumalo of Gwanda town in
Zimbabwe. Your contact information came to me from your country's trade
journal during my search for a reliable and God fearing person that can
assist me and my family, I quite beleive on my own that you can be of great
help in this regard even if I am not acquainted to you before.
The business involves the transfer of FIVE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND
U.S. DOLLARS ONLY (US$5.700.000.00) into your account for safe keeping. This
fund is inherited from my late Father who was assasinated by the president's
(ROBERT MUGABE) aides in view of taking his lands and property during the
crisis last year which lead to the killing and barnishing of foreign(white)
farmers.
After the death of my Father on October 22nd. 2004 (A day I can never
forget) I was approached by our family lawyer who told me that my late
Father had filed a document with him which stipulates his 'WIL.
I wish to draw your attention to the sum of Five Million Seven Hundred
Thousand U.S. Dollars(U.S$5.7M)which I deposited with a Security Company in
Johannesburg South Africa with
all the documents filed by my lawyer. In case of my absence on earth caused
by death only, you should solicit for a foreigner that can assist you to
transfer the money out of there (SA)for investment purposes. I have saved
this money to make the future of my only son 'DENNIS' and you my wife
immediately the government started eyeing my business and involvements with
the white farmers. Please take good care of 'DENNIS' and your self, we shall
meet to part nomore.
>From the above, you will understand that my future especailly the future of
my family depends on this money, as such I will be grateful if you can
assist us in transfering this fund to your account
overseas for our investments. You can contact me om my number +27-765652622.
For your assistance we have agreed to offer you 30% of the whole funde the
remaining 70% will be kept for us under your care till our arrival in your
country.
God bless you for your anticipated undertstanding and co-operation.
Best regards,
MR. DENNIS KHUMALO
