Subject: FUND TRANSFER & INVESTMENTS
FROM : MRS GLORIA KAMBA
ADDRESS : NO. 25 MARTIN AVENUE
HARARE, ZIMBABWE
TEL :+27-73-36-36-291
ATTN: DIRECTOR/CEO.
This may appear a bit surprising to you but very beneficial, as a matter of
urgency I am desperately looking for a foreign partner whom I can trust to
handle some investment or fund movement. I am MRS. GLORIA KAMBA MARTINS
wife of late MR. MARTINS KAMBA who was murdered by the Zimbabwean veterans
and irate black people. I am writing from Zimbabwe, i got your address from
the Internet through the consultancy directory during my search for a
reliable and honest person to transact this business with. i write to
solicit for your special assistance to a family shattered by a government
led by a dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party President Robert Mugabe.
Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe, the government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to dispossess the
land being occupied by white farmers. The action has led to the killing of
some members of opposition party including my husband MARTINS KAMBA , who
did not support this ill-fated action. But before the death of my husband,
he anticipated some dangers and so he deposited the sum of US$ 20.4 Million
(Twenty Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in the of name
of only son “PAUL KAMBA” at a reputable security company in South Africa
with the intention of using to open fertilizer manufacturing company among
other companies in our neighbouring country (Swaziland) after his University
education.
On 29th of July 2001 the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF)
ruling party trooped into our compound and axed him (my husband) to death.
Since then, they have been terrorising my only son, PAUL KAMBA , but he
managed to escape to a neighbouring country, South Africa as a political
asylum seeker (refugee). But his position in South Africa does not permit
him to open an account to run any huge financial business. That is why i
want this fund to be transferred into your private account so that you will
assist him to invest it in your country. Hence, if you agree to assist us,
we will offer you 20% of the money for your assistance, 10% will be for the
possible expenses incurred in the process of this transaction, while 70%
will be for our family investment in your country through your assistance
and note that hits business is 100% risk free.
NOTE : On your response and interest, you shall be introduced to the
international business law firm based here in Johannesburg South Africa who
assisted my late husband in depositing of this fund at the security company
for any query / demand for due clarifications.
Contact my son PAUL KAMBA on his direct telephone 27-73-36 -36=291 for more
details.
I need your urgent and confidential response.
Best regards,
GLORIA KAMBA(MRS)
FOR THE FAMILY
