Subject: YOUR URGENT CO-OPERATION IS NEEDED PLEASE
Dear,Sir/Madam.
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me,since you do not know
me personally, but for purpose of introduction.
I am MR. JAMES JOHN JEFTHA, the first son of DR, PETER JEFTHA , who was
recently murdered in the land disputed in ZIMBABWE. I got your contact through
my personal search for a honest and trustworthy individual,who can help
my family in receiving this fund, for proper investment and safe keeping,
And I decided to write to you, for assistance and business co-operation.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to oversea to deposit the
total sum of(US$16,8Million United States Dollars ), with a security and
finance company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
This resulted in killing and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some
lunatics in the society. In fact, more than thirty(30) people has been killed
because of this Land Reform act. Heads of governments from the west especially
Britain have condemned Mugabe?s new Land Reform Act and for this reason,SADC(Southern
African Development Community) heads of states have met and voiced their
support for Mr.Mugabe. South African President and the President of Malawi
have been sent by SADC to Britain to support Mugabe?s new Land Reform Act.
It is against this background, that I and my family who are currently staying
in Europe right now because of this problem, have decided to transfer my
father?s money to a foreign account. As the eldest son of my father, I am
saddled with this responsibility of seeking a genuine account where this
money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are
bent on taking everything we have got and other African Governments seem
to be playing along with them.
I am faced with the dilemma of investing this huge amount of money in Africa
for fear of going through the same experience in future since most of the
countries have lost similar political history. However, the europian union
Foreign Exchange Policy where i am right now, does not allow such investment
as I am seeking for Asylum. I don"t want to disclose all the information
about me, and where i am residing right now for fear of having my asylum
request cancelled by the authorities in my country but immidiately you get
back to me I will give you the necessary information. As a businessman,
whom I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands, I must
let you know that this transaction is risk-free and the nature of your bussiness
does not necessarily matter.
Therefore, if you accept to assist my family and me, we are willing to offer
30% of the total sum for your assistance needed,60% for me and my family
while 10% will be mapped out for any pre-transfer charges or bank charges.
I would wish to invest in your country on commercial properties and buying
of rents based on your advice or from experts in your country. If this proposal
is acceptable by you, please, send me your contacts;email add,telephone
no and fax .
YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL AND SHOULD
BE KEPT WITHIN YOU ALONE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE AND ACCEPTANCE WILL BE HIGHLY
APPRECIATED. PLEASE YOU CAN AS WELL FORWARD YOUR REPLY TO THIS MY PRIVATE
ADDRESS :
john14@linuxmail.org
REGARDS,
MR. JAMES JOHN JEFTHA, (FOR THE FAMILY)
