Dear Sir/Madam,
Don't be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me in
person. I am MR.JOHN MABASO from Zimbabwe the first Son of MR.NDULOV MABASO
who was murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe by the agents of the ruling
government of President ROBERT MUGABE, you must have heard his alleged
support and sympathy for the opposition MDC PARTY led by the minority white
farmers.
My Father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold
blood by the war veterans backed by the government. Before the death of my
Father, he deposited the sum of US$35M (Thirty Five Million United State
Dollars) with one of the security company in South Africa, as if he knew the
looming danger in ZIMBABWE. The money was deposited as a gem and precious
stones to avoid much attraction & demurrage from the security firm. The
money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the
farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland before the
regretted incident.
This Land problem arose when President Robert 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 rampart killing and Mob actions. My mother and I are
staying in South Africa now as Asylum seekers, which have not been
beneficial to us; I have decided to transfer this money to a foreign country
where we can invest it. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount
of money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience in
future since both countries have the same political policy and also law does
not permit us to investment hence we're refugees.
I must let you know that this business is 100% risk free and the nature of
your business does not necessarily matter, you can help us if you wish. I
and my family have agreed to give you 25% of the total US$35M, 5% will be
mapped out for all expenses that maybe incurred during the transfer and 70%
will be for me and my family's investment in your country. Therefore if you
are willing and interested to render the needed assistance, endeavor to
reply through this private mail Address for more brief clarifications. I
also need your private mobile, telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. Remember; this is highly confidential and the success of this
business depends on how secret it is kept.*
*Expecting your reply soonest.
Best regards, *
*MR.JOHN MABASO (FOR THE FAMILY)*
