DEAR FRIEND
*
*MY FAMILY MATTER
*
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally*. I am* *MRS* *JOY MANDILA* the wife of *MR. LEWIS MANDILA,* who
was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact
through Johannesburg online service hence I decided to write you.
Before the death of my husband, he had notified me about the money *$25m
(Twenty Five Million* *United States Dollars)* he deposited in Johannesburg
South Africa with one of the private security companies, as if he foresaw
the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as
personal valuables for a foreign partner to avoid much demurrage from the
Security Company. This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and
chemicals for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland. This
land problem came when Zimbabwean President *MR. ROBERT MUGABE* introduced a
new Land Act reform, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few black farmers. This resulted to killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war
veterans and some miscrants in the society. In fact, a lot of people were
killed because of this land reformed Act for which my husband was one of the
victims.
It is against this background that, my children and I who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to transfer my husband money to a foreign
country since the law of South Africa prohibits refugees from opening any
bank account or to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zones of South Africa. I am now saddled with the responsibility
of seeking for a genuine foreigner who can provide us with a reliable
account where this money could be transferred into .All I seek for is an
honest person, whom I can entrust with my future and that of my family. I
must also let you know that this transaction demands absolute
confidentiality. If you accept to assist me and my family, all I want from
you is to help us with an account in your name, which will aid us in
transferring the money into any account, you will nominate overseas.
This money we intend to use for investment and growth in your country. For
your efforts we are prepared to give to you *20%* of the total funds, or you
can go into partnership with us 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 the
percentage proposed above.
Finally, please treat this matter as urgent as possible I am in dire need to
leave this country soonest with my family.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation
Best Regards
*MRS JOY MANDILA & MY SON SIZWE MANDILA.
