FROM; KUMBA JOHN.
ATTENTION; DIRECTOR/CEO.
My name is Kumba John, the elder son of Mr. Smith Kumba of Zimbabwe. During the current crisis against the farmers of Zimbabwe by the supporters of our President Robert Mugabe to claim all the white owned farms in our country, he ordered all the white and rich black farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and their follower.
My father was one of the best farmers in the country and a major financier/sponsor of the opposition party [Movement for Democratic Change MDC, and knowing that my father did not support the president Political ideology, the presidents supporters invaded my fathers farm, kill him and took over it.
After the death of my father, my mother and I with my younger brother decided to move out of Zimbabwe for the safety of our lives. We took along with us the US$22.7 Million we get from the auctioning of our estates, farms and other businesses belonging to our family.
The funds are presently being kept away in the secret vaults of a private security firm based here in London. The officials of the firm believe they are helping me in keeping my personal Valuables, not realizing, that it is money.
My self and my mother have decided to contact any reliable overseas firm/person who could assist us to transfer this money out of The London, because we as asylum seeker here in London cannot open a
non-resident account through which this fund will be channeled out to your nominated overseas account.
If my proposition is considered, for assisting us to transfer this money to your country, we will offer you 20% of the total fund, and 5% of the total will be set aside to cover any expenses incurred during this transaction. 75% will be for me and my family to invest in your country under your supervision.
For detailed information, you can contact me on this: e-mail address; kumbafamilyb@yahoo.com. I will like you to give me your private phone and fax number in your reply to this mail.
NOTE: THE KEY WORD TO THIS TRANSACTION IS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY AND DESCIPLINE. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE. YOUR URGENT RESPONSE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED.
Best Regards,
KUMBA JOHN.
