ATTN:
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL

I am Mrs.JOSEPHINE NDOLUVU wife to late Mentu
Ndlovu who was murdered by the Zimbabwean war veterans and irate black
people. I am writing from Zimbabwe.I got your contact address through net
work on line your personality and profile. I write to solicit your special
assistance to a family shattered by a tyrannical government led by a
dictator and his (ZANU-PF) ruling party, president Robert Mugabe.

Because of land and farm land crisis in Zimbabwe the government secretly
sponsored the war veterans and some irate party members to disposes the land
being occupied by white farmers. This action has led to the killing of some
members of opposition party including my husband who did not support this
ill-fated action. But before the death of my husband, he anticipated some
dangers and so he smuggled out the sum of US$15.8m (Fifteen Million Eight
Hundred Thousand United State Dollars), to South Africa and deposited it in
a security company with the intention of using it for the purchase of farm
machinery and chemicals for Agricultural purposes in South Africa. On the
29th July, 2002 the war veterans and some supporters of (ZANU-PF) ruling
party tropped into our compound and axed him to death. Since then they have
been terrorizing my only son JEFF NDOLUVU but he managed to escape to a
neighbouring country, South Africa as a policitical asylum seeker (refugee).
His position in South Africa does not permit him to open an account or
business that is why I want this fund to be transferred into your account so
that you will assist him to invest it in your country. The arrangement made
so far for the transfer include:
1. You come to South Africa to sign the final release order
2. On delivery we collect money from the fund and open a non-resident
account where the fund will be lodged for onward transfer into your account
in your country. If you agree to assist us we will offer you 15% for your
assistance while 5% will be for expenses incurred. This money is not drug
money, laundering nor from government.
It is personal fund but termed confidential because I do not want my son to
be traced to where he is presently. If you are interested to assist us
kindly contact my son with the above email address. I need your urgent and
confidential response by
calling (my son JEFF NDOLUVU) on phone +27-736-366-571. or e
mail<jeffndoluvu@yahoo.com>
Thanks.

Best regards,

MRS JOSEPHINE NDOLUVU (MRS.)
