Subject: Dear Investor
Dear Investor,
It is a great pleasure for me to contact you but first let me start by
introducing myself. My name is Harty Kokayi the son of Chief Hondo Kokayi, a
member of the movement for political change in Zimbabwe (South Africa) which
is against the president and his political party called Zanu PF. I am relying
on your help; in return, I will compensate you most generously. My story is
not unique or new, but I believe this approach will bring a solution to my
ordeal. You are the 5th person that I am contacting and I hope you will be
the last!
Please, forgive me for invading your privacy; I obtained your email address
from Internet Search. I specifically chose free, open societies, which we can
only dream of. Because I believe you are a busy person, please let me briefly
outline my agenda, and then, I will proceed to give you details.It happens
that my father became a partner with a whiteman in business who was one of
the leaders of their movement, through him he brought his ideas and
philosophy that they need to eradicate the idea of racism and torture towards
the white men, women and children by the president because they are the
minority in Zimbabwe (South Africa) because of his relationship with their
party for democratic change the president and his party brought their wicked
ideas towards us. They started confiscating our properties, our farm lands
and even our company which my father is a partner with a whiteman because the
president and his allies has been doing that to other white farmers. Please,
take your time to visit the following links below for more information:

During this process he was murdered with his partner however according to the
instruction my father gave me to sell the remainder of his assets, I as the
son was able to sell his remaining assets which I realised 8,450,000.00
(Eight million, four hundred and fifty thousand EUROS) and transferred this
amount by the help of our family friend in South Africa and deposited it in a
reliable security company in europe. But as of now I am in UK and the reason
why I am soliciting for your assistance is that ever since I came here to UK,
I have not be able to claim the funds/consignment from the security company
or transfer it to any part of the world because I am staying here as a
refugee in UK.
All I want you to do is to help me claim the consignment out of the security
company to your nominated bank account and use the rest money for onward
investment in your country. With your help and assistance I am willing to
give you 1,690,000.00 EUROS from the total sum of money and also I have
mapped out 211,250.00 EUROS for expenses for both parties might incured
during this transaction which will be deducted upon you receiving and
confirming the funds into your account. Please bear in mind that you have
not, and you will not be committing a crime both under International Law and
even European Law...You are simply rendering humanitarian help...for a small
financial consideration. Please, I want you to keep confidentiality and
private because the government of Zimbabwe did not know that I am in UK or we
have other assets that I was able to sell to realise the fund.If you are
willing to help me, You will please do the following for me;
(1). You will setup a good standard or cooperate bank account in your country
or any part of the world for proper transfer of my funds/consignment from the
security company.
(2) You will please arrange first class airline for me from London to your
country...details will follow later.
(3) You will have to avail to me your full personal informations as stated
below: *Names *Country *Address *Age *Sex *Tel/Fax Numbers
Unfortunately, I can not pay any charges upfront because I have no access to
my funds/consignment in the security company and also I am here in the UK as
a refugee and that was why I solicited of your assistance, for this prospect
is all about investments and returns for what is paramount is that any monies
used by you on my behalf in respect of claims of the consignment if need be,
will be deducted along with your percentage 1,690,000.00 EUROS as your
commission for this great assistance you are about to render.I know that your
assistance per the above is very valuable. I wish therefore to make
absolutely sure that nothing goes wrong. Secondly, I really do need your
assistance to set up a corporation plus a corporate Bank Account for easy
transfer of my monies/consignment. Please, note that i will NOT be sending
you funds for preliminary expenses for the reasons which I mentioned above. I
decided to contact you through e-mail because I want it to be private and
also i am waiting your reply through this e-mail address: so that I can now
give you details and updates including important documents. Hoping to hear
from you as soon as possible and God Bless you and your family.
Yours faithfully,
(Mr. Harty Kokayi)
