ATTN:CEO/DIRECTOR
Dear sir/Madam,
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since
you do not know me personally. I am Mr.morrison Achemba the
first son of Mr Abram Achemba, who was recently murdered in
the land dispute in Zimbabwe .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 US$25Million (Twenty
Five Million United States Dollars), in one of the private
security companies, as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. This money was deposited in a box as gemstones to
avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This amount
was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals
for the farms and establishment of a new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert
Mugabe introduced a new Land Act
reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and
some few black farmers. 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 reformed Act for which my father was one of
the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family who are
currently staying in South Africa decided to transfer my
father?s money to a foreign country since the law of
South Africa prohibits refugees to open any bank account or
to be involved in any financial transaction throughout the
territorial zones of South Africa. 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 into without the knowledge of my government who
are bent on taking everything. All I seek for is an
honest businessman, whom I can entrust my future and that
of my family, I must also let you know that this
transaction is 100%risk free. If you accept to assistmy
family and me all I want from you is for you to make
arrangements and come to Johannesburg ? South Africa,
so that you can help me open a non-resident account in your
name which will aid us in transferring the money into any
account you will nominate overseas.This money I intend to
use for investment and growthin your country.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have
certain percentage of the money for nominating your account
for this transaction, or you can go into partnership with
me for the proper profitable investment of the money 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 we might incur in the process of this
transaction. If you do not prefer a partnership I am
willing to give you 25% of the money while the remaining
70% will remain for me and my family. If you are really
capable and willing to assist me please contact me
immediately with the above e-mail address with which I
have sent you this message. Finally, please treat this
matter as urgent as possible, am in dire need to leave this
country soonest. Thanks for your mutual co-operation, I
expect your soonest response.
