Good Day
I have the honour and confidence to introduce to you this
business in view of the fact that you are trustworthy and
reliable in business. Obviously, you will be surprised to read
this letter from me consider it as a request from a family in
dear need of foreign assistance.
few months ago, I also lost My mother in car accident.
Obviously I am contacting you for transferring of fund into
your bank account for safety reasons, and business negotiation
according to the business atmosphere of your country since the
financial laws of South Africa did not permit such privilege as
a refugee. I am PRINCE Fredrick Khumalo, the son of Mr.
HARRISON DONGA Khumalo of Zimbabwe ; it was the current crisis
against the farmers in Zimbabwe from the supporters of our
President ROBERT MUGABE to claim all the white owned farms to
his camp.
My father was one of the best black farmers my country,
because he opposed against MUGABE'S will and ideas, MUGABES
cambers invaded our farms, burnt everything in those farms,
killed my father and looted most valuable properties that
belongs to my late father.
Meanwhile, before his death, he deposited us Six Million Three
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (USD$6.3M).with one of
the commercial bank in South Africa . He wanted to use this
money to buy new machines and tractors, but unfortunately he
was killed during the crisis by this bad government. As the
elder son, this fixed amount in my name.
Right now I and my younger sister are currently living in
South Africa as refugees In view of this, we cannot invest
this money in South Africa or continue farming; this is why I
am asking for your hands to assist me to secure this fund
out of South Africa for investment purpose in your country.
I propose to give you 30% of the said amount, 70% will be for
and my sister
Please, note that this fund is genuely acquired by my father,
and the whole arrangement for transferring of this fund out of
South Africa into you country for investment purpose is 100%
risk free. My only worries I believe that it is (GOD) who bring
men together for a greater reason, and I also pray for the
spirit of understanding to in be input into us for successful
transfer of the fund.
Yours truly,
Fredrick Khumalo
