STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
ATTN.THE PRESIDENT/CEO.
You may be surprise to receive this letter from me since you do not know
me personally, but for the purpose of introduction. I am MRS. RUTH NCUBE
the wife of MR.SOLOMON NCUBE, who was recently murdered in the land dispute
in Zimbabwe. I got your contact from the South African information
Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg and I
decided to write for assistance.
My late Husband was among the few black Zimbabwe rich farmers murdered in
cold blood by the agents of the ruling government of president ROBERT
MUGABE 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 TWENTY MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
UNITED STATE DOLLARS (US$20.5 MILLION),with the security and finance
company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.
The money was deposited in a box as consignment to the Security Company to
avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the Security Company.
This money was earmarked for the purpose of new machinery and chemicals
for arms and the establishment of new farms in Lesotho and Swaziland.
This land problem arose when president ROBERT MUGABE introduced a new land
act,which wholly affected rich white farmers and some few blacks vehemently
condemned the "Modus Operandi" adopted by the government, that result to
rampant killings and mob actions by the war veteran and some political
thugs. Precisely,more than thirty-one (31) people have been killed.
Heads of Government from the west, especially British and United States of
America have voiced their condemnation of Mugabe,s plan. Subsequently the
South Africa Government community (S.A.D.C) has continuously supported
Mugabe,s new land reform act.
It is against this background that I and my children who are currently
staying in South Africa have decided to transfer my late Husband money into
a foreign accounts, as the only Wife of my late husband, I am saddled with
the responsibilities of seeking a genuine foreign account where this money
could be transferred without the knowledge of Government who are tactically
freezing our family wealth and the South Africa Government seem to be
playing along with them.
We are faced with the dilemma of investing this amount in South Africa for
fear of seizure and encountering the same experience in future since both
countries have almost the same history. Moreso, the South Africa foreign
Exchange policy does not allow such investment since we are asylum seeker.
As a businessman who we must entrust our future on his/her hands, I must
let you know that this transaction is 100%risk free. Therefore, if you
accept us we are willing to offer you 25% of the total sum for your
assistance, 70%
will be for my family?s investment in your country while 5% will be used
for all expenses that you might be incurred during the process of the
transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, contact my son ( JOHNSON NCUBE)on
his above details , but you should know that this business is highly
confidential and shall be kept within yourself.
Waiting to hear from you soonest.
Best regards
MRS. RUTH NCUBE.
