Subject: FAMILY.
Dear Friend,
How are you and your family today? I hope that you are all okay? I found
information about you and decided to contact you for an important assistance.
I am Frederick Bundala, a citizen of Zimbabwe, but I am writing from Europe.
I am the only son of Prince Daniel Bundala, a wealthy farmer and senior politician
with the opposition political party in my country, Movement for Democratic
Change [MDC].My father was murdered by our wicked President, Robert Mugabe
and I fled my country because I have become his next target to eliminate.
My father was a fighter for Justice and a moving force in the MDC, a Party
wanting to end the several years of brutal dictatorship government of President
Robert Mugabe.You will read more stories about President Mugabe's brutal
acts by visiting this web sites;

My father was accused of Treason and also aiding the White farmers in fighting
the government. Few weeks after his arrest, he was reported dead. The government
claimed he died of heart attack and his body was never seen for proper autopsy.
They buried him in the government cemetery. My father's associate Mr. Martin
Olds a White farmer from Britain assisted me in fighting my father's death
through the Court and media; the government saw us as a big treat to them
and decided to eliminate us. Mr. Olds was attacked and murdered in his house,
but fortunately, before they came looking for me, I received the news and
I had to flee through the border to South Africa to save my life. My arrival
here in Europe still remains like a miracle to me.
Here are my reasons for contacting you: I need to bring my family and that
of Mr. Olds out of Zimbabwe as soon as possible before any more harm is done
to them. I have a huge sum of money in the total sum of $20Million (Twenty
million dollars) presently in Europe. My father kept this money with a Security
and Trust Company in Johannesburg, South-Africa, for obvious security reasons
and the situation in my country. He kept these funds in one trunk box in
disguise as family treasures, meaning that the Security Company management
is not aware of the real content of the box.My father's farms and bank accounts
were seized by the government before his arrest and murder.He told me everything
concerning the funds in the security company while he was still in detention
and I have made several contacts with the security company concerning the
release of the boxes to me.I was on the process when I fled the country and
have communicated with them when I arrived here.I need your assistance in
securing the funds here in Europe or in your country, so that I can arrange
for my family and that of the Olds to join me here in Europe. I am willing
to offer you 20% of the $20 Million for your assistance.
Now his party have won almost all seat in parliament in the last elections
held which was meant to be a free and fair election as you know this will
put my family into more danger.Endeavour to take this very serious as I am
counting on you at this moment in the desire for freedom and liberty.
Please, let me know if you can assist me, so that I can give you more details
on how we shall proceed. As I await your urgent response,please treat this
information as top secret. Always reply me with myprivate email address:(fredbundala@hotmail.com)
Thank you and God bless.
My mother is aware of my plans, as I am sending her copy of this letter.
Regards,
Frederick Bundala.
