TEL: +316 452 40177
Good day,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me
since you do not know me personally. The purpose of my
introduction is that I am David Macheke, the first son
of Zuma Macheke one of the most popular black farmers
in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in my country. I got your contact through
network online hence decided to write you.

Before the death of my father, he had taken me to
Johannesburg to deposit the sum of USD$9.5 million
(Nine million, Five Hundred thousand United States
dollars), in one of the private security and finance
company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe
this funds was deposited in a box as gem stones to
avoid much demurrage from the security and finance
company. This funds was meant for the purchase of new
machineries and chemicals for the Farms and
establishment of new farms in swaziland.

This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.
Robert Mugabe introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly
affecting the rich white farmers and some few black
farmers, and this resulted to the killing and mob
action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in
the society. In fact a lot of people were killed
because of this Land reform Act for which my father
was one of the victims.

It is against this background that, I and my family
fled Zimbabwe for fear of our lives and are currently
staying in the Netherlands where we are seeking
political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer
my fathers money to a more reliable foreign account.
since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee
(asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be
involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zone of Netherlands, As the eldest son of
my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of
seeking a genuine foreign account where these funds
could be transferred without the knowledge of my
government who are bent on taking everything we have
got. The South African government seems to be playing
along with them.

I am faced with the dilemma of moving these funds out
of South Africa for fear of going through the same
experience in future, both countries have similar
political history. As a businessman,I am seeking for a
partner who 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. If you accept to assist me
and my family, all I want you to do for me, is to make
an arrangements with the security and finance company
to clear the consignment(funds) from their affiliate
office here in the Netherlands as i have already given
directives for the consignment to be brought to the
Netherlands from South Africa.But before then all
modalities will have to be put in place like change of
ownership to the consignment and more importantly this
money I intend to use for investment.

I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to
have certain percentage of the funds for nominating
your account for this transaction. Or you can go into
partnership with me for the proper profitable
investment of the funds in your country. Whichever the
option you want, feel free to notify me. I have also
mapped out 5% of this money for all kinds of expenses
incurred in the process of this transaction.If you do
not prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 10%
of the money while the remaining 85% will be for my
investment in your country. Contact me with the above
E-mail address,while I implore you to maintain the
absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
