Dear Sir,
URGENT ASSISTANCE/INVESTMENT
With due respect,trust and humanity,I write this letter to you seeking your
help and assistance,though its difficult since we have not met before.I got
your address from the SOUTH AFRICA INFORMATION EXCHANGE (S.A.I.E) regarding
your business profile and sincerity.I believe that you are capable and
reliable in handling this urgent international transaction of this sort.
I am MR GABRIEL NKOMO, the first and only son of COMRADE.BORDER D. NKOMO
the Zimbabwean former Minister for Youth & Gender Equality who is also a
businessman and politician,in the Zimbabwean political arena.My father was
the famous politician who stood firm against President Mugabes idea of
continuous fight in Democratic Republic of
Congo and my father also stood against the seizure of white owned farms and
the distribution of it to the blacks without Compesiation to the white
owners.
Because of my fathers sincerity he was killed on 14th April 2001 by a
planned motor accident along Mashona land in Western Mashona Province of
Zimbabwe,the planners of the accident is to be said dissidents soldiers
suspected to have the backing of the Government and President Mugabe
himself.
when this accident occurred at about "10:15 a.m"Zimbabwean time my father
did not died on the spot rather he was rushed to Harare Hospital by unknown
soldiers,he managed to call my widowed mother and me through his
assistance,and when my widowed mother and I rushed to the hospital my father
only managed to sneak a written message to us,explaining his condition
concerning a diplomatic box he deposited the sum of US$21,320,000.00.(Twenty
One Million,Three Hundred and Twenty Thousand United State Dollars) in a
security company in the republic of South Africa and other vital documents
which was meant for his political campaign in the past election June 2002.
He instructed me to take my widowed mother(MRS PHILOMINA NKOMO) and my
younger sister and leave Zimbabwe immediately for our safety,which we have
successfully did and now we are in South Africa with the money deposited in
a Private Security Company with the original documents of deposit intact.But
because of the countrys existing law which bars asylum seekers/refugees like
us to operate an account that exceed US$2,000.00 and the fear of money not
raising eyebrows here in South Africa,I decided to write to you to seek for
your assistance for this money to be transferred into your private bank
account as all arrangements for a hitch-free transfer have been fully taken
care of.I want to assure you also that this transaction is 100% risk free as
no other person knows about this box apart from my younger sister and I.
As for your reward for your kind assistance we have resolved to give you 25%
of the total amount,5% for any expenses that might be incurred in the course
of this transaction. We planned to invest the rest of the money in your
country under your guidance. If you are willing to help us,try as much as
possible to reach me with the above numbers to enable us proceed in earnest
towards concluding all transaction.Bear it in mind that our lives solely
depend on this fund and we do hope that this money will be safe when finally
transferred into your account. I do hope of establishing a rewarding and
good relationship with you and your family after this transaction.Hoping to
hear from you as soon as possible.
Thank you for your co-operation and God bless.
Best regards,
MR GABRIEL NKOMO
