Subject: Re: Mutual Understanding.
Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is MR JAMES KUBA from the republic of Zimbabwe, the first son of MR DANLAMI KUBA .It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your contact, I got your contact through the South African Information Exchange, via Network online.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, from the support of President, Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase the white farmers out of the country, He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers. My father was one of the best and successful farmers in our country then, and formerly the finance minister of Robert Mugade's administration, but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the white farmers of their land. Because of this, his farm was invaded and burnt by Government supporters. In the course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my father?s farm and our family house was totally destroyed. My mother almost passed away after a heart attack.
Before the death of my father, he drew my attention to the sum of US$27.1 Million United States Dollars, which he had deposited with a security company in South Africa during his tenure as the Finance minister of Zimbabwe. I decided to move to South Africa for my own security, and also to actualize the dream of my late father. The consignment was stored on behalf of a partner as important personal valuable by my father using his diplomatic impunity then.
I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist me in moving the money out of South Africa. This became necessary after we were denied any right to run bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction due to my status as an asylum seeker in South Africa.
You shall be rewarded with 25% of the entire amount for your assistance in moving the money out.70% of this money goes to me and my family (my mother and my sister) The remaining 5% shall be used to cover expenses incurred in the course of the transaction. Endeavor to respond to me immediately if you wish to assist me on this matter, this should be done through my email or phone me on my personal phone, number 0027 83 334 3232. Email: kuba@webmail.co.za As soon as I get your respond I shall give out more details on the arrangement that has been made.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards.
MR JAMES KUBA
