Subject: GOOD DAY
FROM: MR JOHN DUMANA
GOOD DAY,
You may be surprised to receieve this letter since you
don't know me personally. I am MR JOHN DUMANA.The first
son of DR.ROBERT DUMANA, who was recently murdered in the
land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South Africa
Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and I decided
to write for an assistance.
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 support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party
controlled by the whites. Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg
to deposit the sum of US$32.5 .Million (Thrity -two Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) with a security and finance company as if he
foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as
a consignment, (Family Valveable)to the security company to avoid seizure,
and also to avoid much demurrage from the security company.
This money was given to my Father by president Mugabe for investment purpose
while they were still in good terms.This land problem arose when President
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which wholly affected the rich farmers,
and some few blacks eventually vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted
by the government. And that resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the
veterans and some political thugs, precisely, many people have been killed.
Heads of government from Western World, especially Britain and United States of
America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe 's plan subsequently, the
South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported Mugabe's
new land reform act. It is against this background that I and my family who are
currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my Fathers money into
a foreign account.
As the first son of my late Father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a responsible person who will help us to transfer this money without
the knowledge of my government and who had tactically freezing our family
wealth and South African Government seems to be playing alongside with them.
We have decided not to invest this money in South Africa for the fear of
seizure and encountering the same experience in future,since both countries
have almost the same political history.More so, the South African Foreign
Exchange Policy does not allow such investment hence I am an asylum seeker.
I should let you know that this transaction is 100% risk free.
So, please if you accept to assist my family,we are offering you 30% of the
total sum,60% for me and my family while 10% will be mappedout for any
expenses, we may incure during the course of this transaction,and we are
willing to accept any reasonable condition you may deem necessary,also we
can as well go into partnership business with you. please reply immediately
to facilitate immediate action toward the transaction.
Remember this business is highly confidential and shall be kept within you
alone.
Best regards,
MR.JOHN DUMANA. ( for the family)
NB.We will also want you to come down to South
africa,it will grant us the opportunity of meeting
ourselves and as well fascilitate the quick conclusion
of this transaction.
