Dear Sir,
RE: ASSISTANCE AND JOINT VENTURE
My name is Mr. John Khumalo, Jr. from the Republic of Zimbabwe, and the first son of Dr. John Ray Khumalo. It might be a surprise to you as to how I got your contact; I got your contact from the South African Information Exchange (SAIE) in Pretoria.
During the current war against the farmers in Zimbabwe, from the Supporters of President Robert Mugabe, in his effort to chase the white farmers out of the country, He ordered all the white farmers to surrender their farms to his party members and his followers.
My father was one of the best and successful farmers in our country then and formerly a Cabinet Member of Robert Mugabe's Administration, but he did not support the idea of dispossessing the Land from the White farmers. Because of this, his farm was invaded and burnt by Government Supporters. In the course of the attack, my father was killed, and the invaders made away with a lot of items from my father's farm and our family house was totally destroyed.
My mother almost passed away after a heart attack. Before the death of my father, he draw to my attention to the sum of US$16.7 MILLION (SIXTEEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), which he had deposited with a private Security Company in South Africa during his tenure as the Presidential Adviser to the President of Zimbabwe.
My mother, my younger one and myself decided to move to South Africa for our own security, for our lives were in danger. However the content of the consignment were stored as important personal valuable by my father using his diplomatic immunity then as Presidential adviser. I decided to contact you (your firm) to assist my family and I in moving the money out of South Africa. I have interest and desire to invest my share in your country, Especially in your (firm) with you as my partner.
This became necessary after we were denied every right to run bank accounts or any other form of financial transaction for we are political asylum seekers in South Africa. I want immediate confirmation of your interest by Tel +27-837535119 or E-mail: jh_khumalo@yahoo.com, as soon as I get your response I shall give out more details on how we shall proceed and also will be in a position to give you details on the agreed sharing ratio. Though my mother has agreed that she will give you 25% of the total sum for your personal use, while you will invest the Balance for us in your country. Kindly keep this proposal strictly confidential because of our present status here in South Africa.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.
Best regards,
Mr. John Khumalo Jr.
(For the family)
