INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP.
Dear Sir,
I am well confident of your capability of executing this
transaction for the mutual benefit of both families,
believing that you will not expose or betray the trust and
confident I am about to repose to you.
I am contacting you with the greatest delight and personal
respect. I am Mrs. Harriet Mangwana, the wife of late
Dr. (chief) Samuel Mangwana, who was murdered last year of
June by the forces loyal to president Robert Mugabe due to
their support in acquiring his land and property during
the crisis in Zimbabwe last year. Which continued and led
to the lost of several lives of foreign (white) farmers as
reported on cable network news (CNN) and by the British
Broadcasting Corporation (BCC).
I got your contact while I was doing a private research on
the Internet, for a reliable person for partner ship
investment overseas. Believing you are sincere and
trustworthy person and of transparent honesty and capable

11.500,000.00. (Eleven million, five hundred thousand
united state Dollars), into a foreign account for safe
keeping pending on arrival to your country for our
investment plan.
You may need to know how this fund originated. The sum was
inherited from my late husband who was assassinated by
Robert Mugabe's aides in view of acquiring his land and
property. I got to know of this fund when our family
lawyer, approached me few months ago with some documents
that my late husband had filed with him in the file, I
realized that my late husband (blessed memory) has written
a "will" which he specifically pointed my attention and I
quote.
My darling wife, I wish to draw your attention to the sum
of US$11.500,000.00 (eleven million five hundred thousand
united state dollars) which I deposited with a security
company in South Africa. All documents concerning the fund
is filed with our family lawyer and you can make lay claim
to the fund in case of my absence on earth only by death. I
made an agreement with the Security Company that my foreign
partner will stand as a beneficiary to lay claim of
the money. The beneficiary will come forward to make claim
of the consignment.
Dr. (chief) Samuel Mangwana, my late husband advised me
through my lawyer, that incase if he dies that I should
look for a foreigner who will stand as the beneficiary of
the fund so that the fund will be transfer to his or her
account for partnership investment. From the above you can
understand that my future especially that of my son depends
strongly on this money. I willlike you to assist us in
transferring this money into your account for investment.
