Subject: URGENT RESPONSE
Dear Friend,
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me, since you don't know
me personally; I am Nyoni Muyama the first son of Bantu Muyama 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 funds into a Foreign account 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 foresaw 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 "modus 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 sending me an email.
Thank you and God bless you.
Awaiting your urgent respond.
Best Regard,
Nyoni Muyama.
