TREAT AS URGENT/CONFIDENTIAL.
I know you will be surprise to read from me, but please consider this letter
as request from a family in dire need for your assistance. Firstly I must
introduce myself. I am MR.JULIUS NDLOVU from ZIMBABWE, I am the first and only son of MR. DAVID NDLOVU. I am presently residing in South Africa. I got your contact from the South African Information Exchange(S.A.I.E.) in Johannesburg and On behalf of my mother who is a widow MRS. CAROLINE NDLOVU I decided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of
US$25.5M (twenty five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) in your personal or company#8217;saccount.
Before my fathers death he was among the few black Zimbabwean rich
farmers and he was poisoned by the agent of the ruling government of president Robert Mugabe for his alleged support and sympathy for the Zimbabwe opposition party controlled by the white minority. Before his death he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit this money to a Security and Finance Company.
This money was deposited in a box as gemstone to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company. This money was earmarked for purchase of new machinery and chemicals for the farms and to establish new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland. In his will he specially drew my attention to this sum of US$25.5M (twenty five Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) that he deposited in a safe box in a private Security and Finance Company here in Johannesburg, South Africa.
IN FACT MY FATHER SAID IN HIS WILL AND QUOTE:#8220;My beloved son, I wish to draw your attention to this money which I deposited in your name in a box with a Security and Finance Company in Johannesburg, South Africa. In case of my absence on earth caused by death. You should solicit for areliable foreign partner to assist you to transfer this money out of South Africa for investment purpose.#8221;
From the above, you will understand that the live and future of my family
depends on this money as much. I will be grateful if you can assist us. We
are now living in South Africa as Asylum seekers and financial laws of South
Africa does not allow Asylum seekers certain right to such huge amount of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this money in South Africa,hence I am
asking you to assist me to transfer this money out of South Africa for
investment purpose.
For your efforts, I am prepared to offer you 20% of the
total fund. While 5% will be set aside for local and international expenses
and 75% will be kept by my family and me.
Finally modalities on how the transfer will be done and conveyed to you once
we establish trust and confidence between ourselves.
Looking forward to your reply and please treat as very urgent.
Best regards
MRJULIUS NDLOVU
