Subject: URGENT RESPONSE


Dear Mr/mrs
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me,
since you
don'tknow me personally; I am KOKAYI GAMBA the
first son of
MOYO GAMBA who was recently murdered in a land
dispute in
Zimbabwe.

I am writing this letter to request your assistance
and confidentiality to handle a transfer of fund into
a Foreign account and I decided to write you,my late
father was among the few black Zimbabwean rich farmers
murdered in cold blood by the agents of the ruling
Government of President Robert Mugabe, for his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean opposition
party controlled by the white minority, Before my
fathers death, he has taken to Johannesburg and
deposited the sum of Twelve Million United State
Dollars ($12million)with a Security and Finance
Company as if he foreseen the looming danger in
Zimbabwe.

This money was allocated for the purchase of new
Machinery and chemical products for Agro allied farm
and for the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and
Swaziland. These land problems arose when President
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly
affected the rich white farmers, and the blacks
vehemently condemned the "mods operandi" adopted by
the government. This resulted to rampant Killings and
mob action by the war veterans and some political
thugs,precisely more than three thousands(3,000)people
have so far been killed.Heads of government from the
west, especially Britain and United States have voiced
their condemnation of Mugabe's plans. Subsequently,
South Africa Development Community (S.A.D.C) has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land act, it is
against this background that my entire family who are
currently residing in South Africa have decided to
transfer my father's money into a foreign account. As
the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account
where this money could be transferred without the
knowledge of my government who are tactically freezing
our family's wealth and South Africa government seem
to be playing along with them. I am faced with the
dilemma of investing this money in South Africa for
the fear of encountering the same experience in the
future,since both countries have the same political
history.

More so, The South Africa Foreign Exchange policy does
not allow such investment, Hence I am seeking for
political asylum in The Netherlands.As a business
person whom I entrusted my future and that of my
family into his hands, I must let you know that this
transaction is 100% risk free and the nature of your
business does not necessarily matter. For your
assistance,we are offering you 15% of the sum 80% for
me and my family, while 5% will be mapped out for any
expenses that we may incurred during this
transaction.We wish to invest our money on commercial
properties based on your advice.Finally, I will demand
for assurance that you will not sit on the money when
it gets to the account you are going to provide in
your country.If this proposal is accepted by you,
please confirm by you sending me an email to kokayig2004@spinfinder.com

Thank you and God bless you.
Awaiting your urgent respond.

Best Regard ,
KOKAYI GAMBA..
