From: john sipo <johnsipo46@yahoo.com>
Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2008 02:43:43 -0800 (PST)
Subject: ASISTANCE
ATTENTION:THE MANAGING DIRECTOR/C.E.O
FROM: MR.JOHN SIPO,
E-MAIL;johnsipo16@yahoo.com
REQUEST FOR A BUSINESS ASSISTANCE.
I am Mr.JOHN SIPO, a member of the Movement for
democratic Change in Zimbabwe. My Party is opposed to
the Zanu-PF Party of the incumbent President Robert
Mugabe.I went into a partnership venture with a white
farmer and businessman in Zimbabwe and as we
progressed in business, I bought his ideas and
philosophy, which made me join the movement for
democratic change which is dominated by the whites (of
which my colleague is a top member).
We control the greater portion of the white-dominated
farms in Zimbabwe and we are major shareholders in
major companies in Zimbabwe.The Mugabe government and
his political associates are not tolerant to the
activities of the movement for democratic change and
he is using indirect guerrilla war tactics to oppress
the members.Zimbabwe war veterans invaded our farms
and confiscated some of our assets and held us
hostage. I managed to escape from their brutality but
my business partner died in the struggle.
He left a message that I should sell off all our
assets including the farms, estates and the companies,
ensuring that his family relocates overseas and alsoto
invest the money properly bearing in mind that the
next step of the guerillas will be to confiscate those
remaining assets.I have successfully sold off the
remaining portion of our estates,farms and companies
after which I managed with the help of the immigration
to sneak into Johannesburg, South Africa, with the
money and my colleague’s family. In fact, we are
seeking refuge in South Africa at this moment.The
total sum in our possession at this moment is the sum
of US$10m(TEN MILLION UNITED STATE DOLLARS), realized
from auction,sales of the estates,farms and companies.
This money was brought into South Africa as a
diplomatic baggage and is being deposited in a private
Security Company. As it stands we are not authorized
to operate bank account by law as refugees. I got to
know you from your country’s business journal in
Johannesburg world Trade Centre(WTC)and have decided
to solicit for your kind assistance in order to enable
us move this money out of South Africa.
Regards
JOHN SIPO.
