ATTN: SIR/MADAM
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS.
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you don't know
me personally but please take this mail into consideration. I am Mr. John
Majo Wemba, the son of Mr. Majo Wemba, who was recently murdered in the
land disputes in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through Network on line in
my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential
transaction which involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I
decided to write you, my late father was amongst 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 his death, he had taken to Johannesburg - South Africa to deposit
the sum of US$ 13.8 Million (Thirteen- Million Eight Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) with a Security and Finance Company as if he foresaw the
looming danger in Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as "VALUABLES
AND PERSONAL EFFECTS" to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.
This money was embarked from the purchase of new machinery and chemical
for farms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe introduced a new land
act that wholly affected the rich white farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the "modus operandi" adopted by the government. This resulted
to rampant killing and mob action by the war veterans and some political
thugs. Precisely, More than thirty-eight (38) people have so far been killed.
Heads of governments from the west, especially Britain and United States
of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe'splan.
Subsequently, South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously
supported Mugabe's new land act, it is against this background that I and
my 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 wealth and South Africa's government
seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing
this money in South Africa for fear of encountering the same experience
in future since both countries have almost the same political history.
More so, the South African Foreign Exchange policy does not allow such investment
hence we are seeking for an "ASYLUM". As a businessperson 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 30% of
the total sum, 60% for me and my family while 10% will be mapped out for
any expenses we may incur during the course of this transaction. We wish
to invest our part of the money on commercial property based on your advice.
Finally, all we demand from you is assurance that you will not sit on this
money when it finally gets to your personal or company's account in your
country. If this proposal is acceptable by you, please confirm your interest
via the above TEL number or E-MAIL me.
Best Regards
Mr John Majo Wemba.
