GOOD DAY,
You may be surprised to receive this letter since you don’t
know me personally. I am Mr FELIX KHUMA .The first son of
Dr. DAVID KHUMA, who was recently murdered in the land
dispute in Zimbabwe. I got your contact through South
Africa Information Exchange (S.A.I.E) here in Johannesburg
and I decided to write for assistance.
My late Father was among the few black Zimbabwean 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 US$20 million
(Twenty Million United States Dollars).with a security and
finance company as if he foresaw the looming danger in
Zimbabwe. The money was deposited in a box as a
consignment, (Family Valveable) to the security company to
avoid seizure, and also to avoid much demurrage from the
security company.
This money was given to my Father by President Mugabe for
investment purpose while they were still in good terms.
This land problem arose when President Robert Mugabe
introduced a new land act, which wholly affected the rich
farmers, and some few blacks eventually vehemently
condemned the modus operandi adopted by the government. And
that resulted to rampant killing and mob actions by the
veterans and some political thugs, precisely, many people
have been killed. Heads of government from Western World,
especially Britain and United States of America have voiced
their condemnation of Mugabe 's plan subsequently, the
South African Development Community (S.A.D.C) has
continuously supported Mugabe's new land reform act. It is
against this background that I and my family who are
currently staying in South Africa have decided to transfer
my Fathers money into a foreign account.
As the first son of my late Father, I am saddled with the
responsibility of seeking a responsible person who will
help us to transfer this money without the knowledge of my
government and who had tactically freezing our family
wealth and South African Government seems to be playing
alongside with them. We have decided not to invest this
money in South Africa for the fear of seizure and
encountering the same experience in future, since both
countries have almost the same political history. More so,
the South African Foreign Exchange Policy does not allow
such investment hence I am an asylum seeker. I should let
you know that this transaction is 100% risk free.
So, please if you accept to assist my family, we are
offering you 30% of the total sum, 60% for me and my family
while 10% will be mapped out for any expenses, we may
insure during the course of this transaction, and we are
willing to accept any reasonable condition you may deem
necessary, also we can as well go into partnership business
with you. Please reply immediately to facilitate immediate
action toward the transaction, Please contact me on the
telephone numbers transcribed above.
Remember this business is highly confidential and shall be
kept within you alone.
Best regards,
MR.FELIX KHUM
