INTRODUCTION
You will be surprise to receive this letter since you
dont know me personally, but do treat this request as
a call from somebody in dire need of your kind
assistance, but for the purpose of introduction. I am
Sipo Solo zuma, the eldest son of Dr. Sipo Mudah zuma , who was recently
murdered with other whites in the land dispute violence in Zimbabwe this
year.ln my keen interest to invest in your country, I got your
contact through the website and decided to write for an assistance.
My late father was among the few black-Zimbabwean rich
farmers murdered in cold blood by the KILLER-SQUARD of
the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe on
the 12th of march,2001 for his alleged support and
sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party
controlled by the whites and this crisis and
cold-blood-murder reports were communicated to the
whole world through BBC, CNN, and even the UNITED
NATIONS general assembly meetings for heads of
governments, of member nations.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to
deposit the sum of US$19.2 Million(Nineteen million
two hundred Thousand United States Dollars)with a
Security and finance Company for safe-keeping as if he
foresaw the looming danger that could erupt from the
farm struggle in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited
in a box as a consignment labelled 'FAMILY TREASURE',
with the Security Company.This frame of mind was
informed as not to allow the company management have
the knowledge of the real content of the box for
obvious security reasons. This money was earmarked
for the purchase of machineries and agro-chemicals for
the farms and the establishment of new
farms-settlements in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when president Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land Acts which wholly affected the
rich white farmers and some objective blacks
vehemently condemned the modus operandi adopted by the
government. This resulted to forceful ejection of
whites from their lands, rampant killings, arson and
mob actions by the war veteran and some political
thugs. Precisely, more than one hundred and
seven(107)people have been killed and many others
maimed for life in the past, and up till this
september, BBC and CNN have reported of more killings
in the farm-land violence.
Heads of government from the Western World, especially
Britain and the United States of America have voiced
their condemnation over Mugabe's obnoxious land acts .
Subsequently the Southern African Development
Community(S.A.D.I.C)has continuously supported
Mugabe's New Land Reform Acts. It is against this
background that I and my family who are currently
staying in South Africa have decided to transfer this
money out of South Africa into a trusted 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 Zimbabwean government who have tactically
frozen my family's wealth.Secondly,my mother is
presently sick of HEART DISEASE and the need to for a
medical operation soon is important.
Presently, l am residing temporarily in Johannesburg
pending the outcome of an appeal filed on my behalf by
my attorney for the Department of Home Affairs to
grant me asylum status.At the moment l am in dilema on
how to move this money safely out of South Africa due
to the fiscal laws inhibiting South African Refugees
on monetary policy.l request that you grant me the
consent to present you and your company as the
beneficiary of the Consignment{box of money} ,so that
l can be able to transfer the money to your nominated
account outside South Africa for investment purpose.
As a business man whom I wish to entrust my future and
that of my family on his hands, I must let you know
that this transaction is 100% risk free as far as you
keep it secreet and modalities to effect this transfer
is ready with the help of our family lawyer,a member
of a Bank-board, a South African and my late father's
friend that helped him in depositing this money in the
said security company as a consignment.
Therefore if this proposal is acceptable to you, we
are willing to offer you 20% of the total sum for your
assistance, 75%will be for me and my family while 5%
will be used for capital transfer tax based on South
African Banking stipulations and any other expenses
that might be incurred in the course of this
transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you ,forward your
reply ,your fax and phone number as soon as possible
bearing in mind the confidentiality and privacy this
transaction requires at the moment .
Best Regards,
<SIPO SOLO ZUMA
{for the family.}
