INVITATION FOR PARTNERSHIP.
Dear Sir,
I am well confident of your capability of executing this transaction for the
mutual benefit of both families, believing that you will not expose or
betray the trust and confident I am about to repose to you.
I am contacting you with the greatest delight and personal respect. I am
Mrs. Harriet Mangwana, the wife of late Dr. (chief) Samuel Mangwana, who was
murdered last year of June by the forces loyal to president Robert Mugabe
due to their support in acquiring his land and property during
the crisis in Zimbabwe last year. Which continued and led to the lost of
several lives of foreign (white) farmers as reported on cable network news
(CNN) and by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BCC).
I got your contact while I was doing a private research on the Internet, for
a reliable person for partner ship investment overseas. Believing you are
sincere and trustworthy person and of transparent honesty and capable of
handing this transaction to the best of your knowledge in assisting my son
and I, in transferring the sum of US$ 11,500,000.00. (Eleven million, five
hundred thousand united state Dollars), into a foreign account for safe
keeping pending on arrival to your country for our investment plan.
You may need to know how this fund originated. The sum was inherited from my
late husband who was assassinated by Robert Mugabe's aides in view of
acquiring his land and property. I got to know of this fund when our family
lawyer, approached me few months ago with some documents that my late
husband had filed with him in the file, I realized that my late husband
(blessed memory) has written a "will" which he specifically pointed my
attention and I quote.
My darling wife, I wish to draw your attention to the sum of
US$11.500,000.00 (eleven million five hundred thousand united state
dollars), which I deposited with a security company in South Africa. All
documents concerning the fund is filed with our family lawyer and you can
make lay claim to the fund in case of my absence on earth only by death. I
made an agreement with the Security Company that my foreign partner will
stand as a beneficiary to lay claim of the money. The beneficiary will come
forward to make claim of the consignment.
Dr. (chief) Samuel Mangwana, my late husband advised me through my lawyer,
that incase if he dies that I should look for a foreigner who will stand as
the beneficiary of the fund so that the fund will be transfer to his or her
account for partnership investment. From the above you can understand that
my future especially that of my son depends strongly on this money. I will
like you to assist us in transferring this money into your account for
investment. You can contact my son Jonathan Mangwana on Tel:
