Attention: The Managing Director
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
I am Daniel Martin, a principal partner of the above named firm and also a financial adviser to a Zimbabwean immigrant “Mrs. Carol Chinda” the wife of Late Mr. Johnson Chinda SNR of Zimbabwe, who was in partnership with Late David Stevens, (One of the white farmers murdered in the Land Reform Conflict). This letter might come as a surprise to you about where and how we got your contact address. Your address came from a trusted confidant from our Chamber of Commerce after Mrs. Carol Chinda indicates her interest in investing in your country.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms to his party members/supporters. President Mugabe ordered all white farmers to surrender all farms to his party members and followers. Late Mr. Johnson Chinda was one of the very best black farmers in Zimbabwe who was in partnership with a white farmer “Mr. Lawrence Smith” of England. Both Late Johnson and Lawrence where not in support of President Robert Mugabe’s idea so their farms and properties where invaded and burnt down by President Mugabe’s supporters. At this invasion both Late Mr. Johnson and his partner Mr. Lawrence were mobbed to death.
Before Mr. Johnson’s death, seeing the looming pressure from President Robert Mugabe over the land reform act, he (Late Mr. Johnson Chinda) brought his wife Mrs. Carol Chinda to South Africa where they deposited a total sum of US$12,000,000.00 with a Security Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa. The money which is labeled family treasure and contained in a metal box was meant for the purchase of farming equipments and materials from a company here in South Africa. After his death, the wife and son escape from Zimbabwe and made it down here where they are presently seeking asylum. With their present refugee status here in South Africa that prohibits them from handling huge transaction or dealing directly with any local financial institute here, they mandated me to contact a foreigner from outside the shores of Africa who will assist them to move the fund into a safe account overseas. And with the bilateral agreement existing between South Africa and Zimbabwe, the
fund could be liable to seizure if invested in South Africa.
In the cause of moving / remitting the fund to your country or any other overseas account you will provide, Mrs. Carol Chinda decided to offer you 20% of the total sum for your assistance, 5% will be set aside to offset all expenses incurred during the cause of this transaction, while 75% will be for her family investment in your country under your close supervision as a board member.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. There is no risk involved as I will do all the paperwork for this transaction.
Kindly contact me immediately on my below private contacts and provide me with your private telephone and fax number for easy access to communications. I am looking forward to a favorable phone call from you, once you have received this letter.
Let this remain confidential to avoid raising eyebrows that may jeopardize our plans.
Sincerely yours,
Daniel Martin
