MRS. WINNIE THABO
ALWAYS RESPOND TO MY PRIVEATE EMAIL: mrs.winniet@yahoo.com

Dear Sir/ Madam,

You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you don't know me personally, but for the introduction, I am MRS. WINNIE THABO, the wife of MR. ROBERT THABO who was recently murdered in the land dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact from the INTERNATIONAL TRADE CENTER here in Johannesburg and I decided to write you.

My late husband was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered in cold blood by the agents of ruling Government of the President Robert Mugabe for not supporting the Land reform program. Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of EIGHTEEN MILLION; FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$18,500,000.00) with the Security and Finance Company as if he knew the looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as Gemstone to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This money was earmarked for the purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.

This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land reform act, which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks who vehemently condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the Government. This resulted to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some political thugs. So far, a lot of people have been killed and countless number of farm workers displaced. Heads of Government from the west, especially Britain and the United States of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe's plan. Subsequently, the Southern African Development Community (SADEC) has continuously supported Mugabe's new land reform Act. It is against this background that I and my family who are currently in South Africa have decided to transfer my husband's money into a foreign bank account.

As a mother, I am saddled with the responsibility to seek a genuine foreign account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing our family wealth and South African Government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in South Africa for the fear of encountering the same experience in future since both countries have almost the same political history. More so, the South African Foreign Policy does not allow such investment hence I am seeking for asylum. As a businessman who I must entrust my future and that of my family on his hands, I must let you know that this transaction is 100% risk – free and the nature of your business does not necessarily matter.
Therefore, if you accept to assist my family, and me, we are willing to offer you 30% of the total sum for your assistance, 65% for my family and me, while 5% will be mapped out for all expenses. I would wish to invest in your country on commercial property based on your personal or company's advice. If this proposal is acceptable by you, contact me on my e-mail address for the confidentiality of this transaction. I hope to hear from you soonest. Private Email: mrs.winniet@yahoo.com

Thanks and God Bless;

Best regards,

MRS. WINNIE THABO
