MR HENRY NGOSI
N0 50 ATLANTIC AVENUE,
PRESIDENTIAL PARK JOHANNESBURG,
SOUTH AFRICA.
Mobile ;002773-4323-643
Attn Sir/madam
You may be surprise to receive this message from me since you don't know me
in person, but for the purpose of introduction, I am MR HENRY NGOSI, the son
of late MR. MARK NGOSI, who was murdered in a land dispute in ZIMBABWE.
I got your contact during my search for reliable & competent foreigner to
handle a confidential financial transaction, then I decided to write you. My
late father 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.
Before the death of my father, he took me to South Africa to deposit the sum
of Eighteen million Five hundred thousand US Dollars ($18.5m) with a
security and finance company, as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited as a gem/precious stone to avoid much demurrage from
the security firm.
This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for
the farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. This
land problem arose when President R. MUGABE introduced a new land Act. Which
wholly affects the White rich farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the 'MODUS OPERANDI' adopted by the government. This resulted to
rampant killing and mob actions. I and my family who are currently staying
in South Africa as a refugee or an asylum seeker have decided to contact
your as foreigner/beneficiary of the Trunk Cases containing the Cash
(USD18.5M) for further transfer of the money to a foreign country where we
can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of claiming/investing this amount
of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have the same political history.
Moreover, the South African monetary policy/law does not allow such
investment hence
I am seeking for an asylum or refugee. 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 claim the ownership of
this money, I and my family have agreed to give you 20% of the total money,
40% will be for a joint business venture I will be doing with you and
another 35% will be for me and my family which we shall also invest in your
country and the remaining 5% will be mapped out for all expenses we may
incurred during the transaction. Therefore, if you are willing and
interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to reply through my
email address I also need your private phone and fax number for easy
communication.
Remember that this is highly confidential and the success of this business
depends on how secret it is kept.
Expecting your reply soonest.
Best Regard.
HENRY NGOSI.
FOR THE FAMILY
