Dear
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don't know me personally.
I am JAMES NKOSI.the son of MICHAEL NKOSI, who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South Africa Information Exchange
(S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and I decided to write for assistance.
The agents of the ruling government of President Robert Mugabe among the few black
Zimbabwean rich farmers murdered my late father in cold blood. For his alleged
support and sympathy for the Zimbabwean Opposition party controlled by the whites.
Before his death, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the sum of
US$ 36.5 Million (Thirty six Million Five Hundred 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 a consignment, to the security
company to avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the security
company.
This money was given to my father by president Mugabe for investment purpose
while they were still in good terms. This land problem arose when President
Robert Mugabe introduced a new land act, which wholly affected the rich
farmers, and some few blacks eventually vehemently condemned the modus
operandi adopted by the government. And that resulted to rampant killing
and mob actions by the veterans and some political thugs, precisely, more
than thirty-on (31) people have been killed.
Heads of government from Western World, especially Britain and United States
of America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe 's plan subsequently,
the South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported
Mugabe's new land reform act. It is against this background that I and my
family who are currently staying 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 an account where this money could be transferred without the knowledge
of my government who had tactically freezing our family wealth and South
African Government seems to be playing alongside with them.
We have decided not to invest this money in South Africa for the fear of
seizure and 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 I am an asylum seeker.
As a businessman I should entrust my future and that of my family on your hands,
I should let you know that this transaction is risk free.
Therefore if you accept to assist my family, we are willing to accept any
reasonable condition you may deem necessary, and we can as well go into
partnership business with you. please reply immediately to facilitate immediate
action toward the transaction. Remember this business is highly confidential
and shall be kept within you alone.
Best regards,
JAMES NKOSI.
