From Nderebe mookos ,
Zimbabwe.
Tel: +27-73-741-7272

ATTN:!!!
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know
Me personally. The purpose of my introduction is that I am Nderebe Mookos,
The first son of NKONO Mookos,the most popular black farmer in Zimbabwe
Who was murdered in the land dispute in my country? I got your
Contact through network online hence decided to write you. Before the
Death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg South-Africa to deposit the sum of
US$20.5 Million in one of
The private security company, as he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe
this money was deposited in a box as familiy belongings and its personal effect to avoid much demurrage and the security company was not actual aware of the consignment. This amount was meant for the purchase of new
machines and chemicals for the Farms and establishment of new farms in
Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr.Robert Mugabe
introduced a new Land Act Reform wholly affected the rich white farmers
and some few black farmers.And 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 reform Act for which my father
was one of the victims.
It is against this background that, I and my family fled Zimbabwe for fear
of our lives and are currently staying in the South_Africa where we are
seeking political asylum and moreso have decided to transfer my father
money to a more reliable foreign body. since the law of South-Africa
prohibits a refugee (asylum seeker) to be
involved in any financial transaction throughout the territorial zone of
South-Africa, As the eldest son of my father, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign Pathner where this consignment could
be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are bent on
taking everything we have got. . I am faced with the dilemma of moving this consignment
of money out of South Africa for fear of going through the same experience
in future, As a
businessman,I am seeking for a partner who I have to entrust my future
and of my family in his hands, I must let you know that this transaction
is risk free. If you accept to assist me and my family,all I want you to
do for me, is to arrangements with the security company to clear the
consignment(funds) from their afiliate office here in the South-Africa as i
have already given directives for the consignment to be brought to the any part of the world which i decied to settle down with my families
from South Africa.But before then all modalities will have to
be put in place e.g change of ownership to the consignment and This money
I intend to use for any profitale investment you know feel free to notify me. I have also mapped out 5% of this money for all
kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do,
For your asistance i and my families have promise to offer you 20% of the total sum
The remaining 75% will be for my investment in your country. Contact me
with the above telephone and E-mail numbers while I implore you to
maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Thanks, GOD BLESS YOU
Yours Faithfully,
Nderebe Mookos.
