Dear Friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me,since you dont know me personally,I am Mike
Ubanko,The son of Dr Kenny Ubanko, Who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe.
I got your contact as i was searching for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
business which involve a transfer of fund to a foreign account and i decided to write you. My late father
was among the few black Zimbabwean opposition party rich farmers murdered 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 father death,he had taken to johannesburg and deposited the sum of twenty- five million
united state dollars (US$25,000,000)with a security and financial company,The money right now is in
(EUROPE), as if he forseen the looming danger in zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as
valuable items to avoid over taxed custom clearance.
This money was allocated for the purchase of new machinery and chemical product for Agro-allied farms
and for establishment of new farms in lesotho and swaziland.This land problems arose when president
Robert mugabe introduced a new land act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some blacks
vehemently condemned the "modus operandi"adopted by the government.
This result to rampant killings and mob action by the war veterans and some political Thugs,precisely
more than three thousand( 3,000)people have so far been killed.Heads of government from the west,
especially Britain and united states have voice their
condemnation of Mugabe's plans.Subsequently, south Africa have development community(S.A.D.C)has
continousy 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 wealth and south Africa's government seems to be playing along with
them.I am face with the dilemma of investing this money in south Africa for fear of encountering the same
experience in the future, since both countries have almost the same political history.
Moreso,the south African foreign exchange policy does not allow such investment,Hence i am seeking
for(political asylum) 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 20% of the sum ,70% for me and my family,while 10% will be
mapped out for any expenses that we may incurre during this transaction.We wish to invest our money
on commecial properties based on your advice. Finally, i will demand for assurance that you will not sit on
the money when it gets to your personally account or comp! any account in your country, If this proposal
is accepted please confirm your interest by sending this above to
mikeubanko@walla.com
Thanks.
God Bless You,
Mike Ubanko
