Dear Friend,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me, Since you do not know me personally .
My Name is Kokayi Edu" The purpose of my introduction is that" Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of US million (eighteen million United States dollars), in one of the private security company, as he fore saw the looming danger in Zimbabwe this money was deposited in one box as gem stones to avoid much demurrage from security company.
This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and some few black Farmers and this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society.
In fact a lot of people were killed Because of this Land reform Act for which my father Mr. Edu was one of the victims.
As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got.
The South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, both countries have similar political history.
As a business man, I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free.
If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the consignment (funds) from their affiliate office here in Europe as I have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to Europe from South Africa.
But before then all modalities will have to be put in place like Chang of ownership to the consignment and more importantly this money I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have certain percentage of the money for nominating your account for this transaction.
Or you can go into Partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, feel free to notify me.
If you do not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 15% of the money while 5% will be set aside to insure any expencies used during this transaction and the remaining will be for my investment in your country.
Contact me with the above via e-mail. edukoka@aol.com while I implore you to maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks,
And God Bless
Kokayi Edu.
