From: "Mr.David Halliday Mbagi" <davidhalliday@rediff.com> (may be fake)
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 05:20:08 +0400
Subject: I NEED OF YOUR HELP
Dear, You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me personally. For the purpose of introduction, I am Mr.Davidhalliday Mbagi,the eldest son of Dr. Verwijs Mbagi, a wealthy farmer/politician in Zimbabwe who was recently murdered in the land dispute in my country.I got your contact through the internet based on our urgent need for a dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. Hence I decided to write to you.Before the death of my late father, he had taken me to Johannesburg South Africa, to deposit the sum total of Twenty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, (US$25,500,000.00) in a Diplomatic Security Companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in two metal trunk boxes and declared to them as Family Treasures to avoid much demurrage/tax from the security company. This amount was meant for the purchase of New machines and chemicals for th!
e Farms and the establishment of new Farms in Swaziland. My late father finalized the supply of the needed materials with a company in Dubai â€"UAE and has written the Security Company to transfer the consignments to Dubai-UAE which the security company agreed to but my late father was yet to submit name of the consignee in Dubai-UAE.The hitch now is the dispatch charge and clearance/pick up charge. What I am soliciting from you is to help me out and I have agreed with the rest of my family members that Twenty Percent (20%) of the total deposit will be given to you for your help and another Three Percent (3%) will be set aside for expenses that you may come across during the transaction. The balance Seventy Seven Percent (77%) remains for me and my family business, which you will help us establish.The land problem, in our country came when our President Mr. Robert Mugabe, introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white !
farmers and some few black farmers who are members of the opposition p
arty. This resulted in killings and mob action by Zimbabwean war veterans and some lunatics in the society. A lot of people have been killed because of this Land reform Act for which my father was unfortunately one of the victims.It is against this background that, I and my family have fled Harare our capital for fear of our lives and are currently staying in a remote country side of Bulawayo. We are planning to leave the country and seek political asylum in another country out of Africa and we have decided to move our family wealth also.As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the responsibility of seeking a genuine partner that could assist us without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything we have got, and the South African government seems to be playing along with them. I am faced with the dilemma of moving this amount of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future, since both cou!
ntries have similar political history.I am now seeking for a partner whom I have to entrust my future and that of my family in his hands. To this end, we need yourassistance to stand as the Beneficiary of the Consignments in Dubai. We want to be very careful in order not to lose this fund which we have worked so hard for. Thus, if you are willing to assist us to clear this fund in Dubai you can contact me through my email address. I will also like to have your telephone/fax number and personal information to enable us Discuss further details. I must let you know that this transaction isRisk free as far as we keep it as confidential as possible.Thank you, and many blessings to you. Yours Faithfully, MR.DAVIDHALLIDAY MBAGI.
