Dear Sir/madam,
My name is WALTER KUMALO, the elder son of Mr. VUSI KUMALO of Zimbabwe.It
might be a surprise to you where I got your contact address but I got your
contact address from the Johannesburg Chambers of Trade and Commerce, please
don’t be worried.
During the current crises against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters
of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our
country, he ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his
party members and their followers.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and knowing that he did
not support the President’s political ideology, the President’s supporters
invaded my father’s farm burnt down everything, killed him and confiscated
all his investments.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger brother
decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took along
with us the money my father kept in the safe in my mother’s house, which
amounted to the sum of US$12.7Million to the Republic of South Africa.
We have deposited it as personal valuable in a private Security Company here
in South Africa where we have sought political asylum. My Mother and I have
decided to contact any reliable overseas firm who could assist us to
transfer this money out of South Africa, because we as asylum seeker here in
South Africa we are not allowed certain financial rights like operating a
bank account.
We need you to come to South Africa where you will open a non-resident
account through which this fund will be channeled out to your nominated
overseas account.
If my preposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to
your country, we will offer you 20% of the total fund, and 5% have been map
out for all the expensis .75% will be for me and my family to invest in your
country under your guidance and assistance. For detailed information, you
can contact me on my direct line + 27-725-666-001 or my email address
walterkumalo1@yahoo.com
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated.
All the best,
WALTER KUMALO
